(Knowing that one girl in this case could be matched as a QA). This sounds great... except that only 22 girls showed up to Preference, which translates to it being impossible for all chapters to make quota. So two chapters made quota and the other took 4 - less than half of quota.

If quota had been set later (either after women accepted invitations to pref or even when women were signing bid cards) then quota would have been 7 or 8 and the 3rd chapter probably would have come much closer to quota.
I agree, I think it should be women signing bid cards, for the very reason you describe. The problem centers around time to prepare bid lists, I think, at least at larger campuses. I can't think of any other good reason not to do it at the very last minute.
