A question about "bidlessness" in general:
Not long ago some college Panhellenics had "guaranteed placement" policies and procedures, as I understand it. On those campuses, if a PNM was invited to preference and maximized her options, she would get a bid.
Are these "guaranteed placement" policies disappearing? Increasing? Or staying about the same, just depending on the campus?
My sense of how this works (worked) -- in theory -- is that it eliminated being bidless after going through pref. It wouldn't prevent a PNM from being cut from all chapters before pref, thoough.
(These practices -- again, as I understand it -- didn't guarantee getting a first choice. However, a woman who made it to preference would get a bid to one of the chapters that invited her to pref, as long as she listed every chapter she preffed on her card. No guarantees if a PNM intentional-single-preferenced. On the other hand, if a PNM got invited to only one chapter for pref, and listed that chapter, she would get a bid from them.)
