One poster on here described being an advisor at bid matching with the chapters arguing over which chapter got "stuck" taking each girl released from the other chapters.
(I'm too tired/lazy to search for the threads now  , but 33girl recently linked them in another thread. If you do a search for Tufts or Creighton recruitment, you'll probably find them. I think at least one of those schools changed to the "normal" way now, but in the very recent past they were actually guaranteeing bids to PNMs.)

I seem to recall my alma mater having that policy when I went through Rush. I don't believe it's that way now but I remember my Rho Chi saying that if you attend all parties and rank all chapters where you attend parties that you are guaranteed to place somewhere. The problem was, if at pref you had two you liked and one you didn't (or two you didn't like and one you did) you HAD to put all of them on your bid card. A few girls in my group were very nervous on bid day because of that.
Who knows though, my Rho Chi also told me you have a better chance of matching with your first choice if you rank all chapters where you attend preference...which we all know is not true.
