As a former Berkeley advisor, I can tell you their system is (or at least was a couple of years ago) that after the first day we had free invites to anyone who missed that day (and we got to see their excuses). From the second day on, if we wanted to invite someone back who was absent, that girl counted in our max number of girls to invite back. So, unless we really loved the girl from Day 1 or knew her before recruitment, it was really hard to give invites to girls who were absent over girls we had a second chance to meet.
Hope that makes sense. I'm not sure if other schools handle it the same way.
