Those who didn't recieve a bid are called by their Rho Chis or personally visited by the Rho Chi to explain - PRIOR to 9:00 so she doesn't get dressed and head over. (Early in the week the PNMs tell their Rho Chis if they would rather have a phone call or a personal visit.) There are always Panhellenic officers and Counseling Center staff on hand should someone need it. Even some who aren't happy with their bids get very upset and need to talk.
This has been my experience, too - only the bidless PNM gets a call between 6pm-7pm (bids are picked up at 8pm). Forget call waiting or anything else - NO ONE going through Recruitment allows anyone on their phone during "the hour"! I think your campus asking if they'd like a visit or a call is much kinder. I know I would prefer a call, but there are always those who'd rather have a shoulder to cry on.
