Lots of room for problems to happen though - like chapters who are supposed to invite everyone back each night, etc. But something to think about anyway!

That could very easily blow up in the PNM's face, though.
Let's say Susie PNM is Kathy XYZ's rush crush, and Kathy really wants Susie to become an XYZ. Kathy takes Susie aside and tells her that they use guaranteed placement, so Susie should be rude and mean at the other sororities' parties, so she only gets one pref invite, to XYZ, and she will be placed at XYZ, guaranteed.
Susie takes Kathy's advice and is rude at all the other sororities' parties. The other sororities, of course, cut her, and Susie becomes known as "the rude PNM". Other sorority members talk to their XYZ friends and tell them how awful Susie is.
When XYZ's membership selection comes around, there are a bunch of sisters who know how rude Susie was to their friends in other sororities... and Kathy is just one sister. So, Susie is cut from XYZ.
Now, Susie has been completely released from recruitment, and will probably never get a bid anywhere, because everyone will remember her as "the rude PNM" for the rest of her college career.
It's always best to keep an open mind and make up your own mind when accepting invitations and filling out your pref card.
