This is a somewhat subjective topic. As a whole, chapters look for women who are the best fit for the chapter.

Each individual in a chapter, however, is victim to her own personal bias. So as a PNM, you could go in, have a great time at a chapter one day and click with the women you talk to, and then go back and have a horrible time, just because of who you meet at that next day's event!

So a chapter looking to recruit well-rounded women (and ostensibly, most chapters are looking for well rounded diverse members who will contribute to the chapter's growth) might have their efforts thwarted by a few well-meaning sisters trying to bid "face" girls.

In my Greek system in college, I saw beautiful girls get their top choice bids, and average girls get their top choice bids. Similiarly, there were also women of both groups who left recruitment disappointed with their options and choices. Confidence and being your personal best are very attractive qualities-- another reason to be a gracious guest and to be yourself at recruitment events, and to not listen to "gossip on the street" about the perceived top chapters.
