There are two things to consider - NPC Unanimous Agreements and NPC Recommendations. The Unanimous Agreements must be followed. And one of those agreements is that if a PNM submits a Membership Agreement Card (AKA Pref Card), and then declines a bid to one of the groups listed on her card, she is ineligible for Recruitment for 1 calendar year.
If she declines a bid to a group NOT on her card, she is eligible for Open Bidding (COB/COR).
If MIT is not using binding Membership Acceptance Cards, then I suppose they could allow a PNM to decline an invite. That's a bad precedent to follow though - the big groups will just get bigger and the small groups may get smaller.
