I think this is different than "guaranteed placement" where pretty much if someone signs up for rush, even if the groups keep dropping her she'll end up being placed somewhere.

I can't imagine any system with "guaranteed placement" wherever a PNM wanted to go
, but I've seen ones where if you play by all the rules and you don't drop groups or SIP and you make it to pref party, you will recieve a bid to a group that you prefed.
It's pretty much a numbers game at that point-- if quota is made up of the number of women who were invited to pref parties divided by the number of sororities than there would technically be a spot for everyone.
Chapters would go below quota if a girl SIP's somewhere else and isn't high enough on their bid list (in this system, EVERY girl at pref party would have to be listed somewhere on the bid list, essentially it would be your top girls until you hit quota and then an ranked second list of everyone else you would love to take if you had unlimited spots) or if a girl drops out without signing a bid card.
Stil, even this system doesn't keep girls from dropping in between rounds if they don't get the house they want or if they get dropped by every house in the process..
Now that I think of it though, what happens if a girl only attends pref at one house but she is at the bottom of their list and enough girls list that house first above her to be placed on that chapters list-- does she go bidless?? She would have maximized her options but gotten dropped from every other house and still go bidless?? Is this the type of thing avoided by the "guarenteed placement"?
