Erica, what you're referring to is snap-bidding and though it's good in theory to allow as many girls as possible to be placed, I can certainly see how it may make the PNM feel kinda unwanted... I can imagine getting a call from my Rho Gamma telling me I hadn't been placed, then a couple of hours of crying later, I get a call from a group that I didn't put on my bid card... definitely doesn't look good. Like I said, good in theory...

When a group offers you a snap bid, YOU have released THEM at some point, be it through opting to go to different chapters for an earlier round, or not ranking them on your preference card. Chapters are not allowed to offer snap bids to women that they released during FR. So if a group offers you a snap bid, they DO want you. It's the
chapter that has to swallow their pride and be like "Well we know you cut us, but we know you went unmatched and we'd still like to have you as a member."
ETA: To get back to the original question, I'm assuming that the second chapter is an elite chapter, just from the nature of the question. (Would you rather be in Normal Nu where they want you or barely get into Elite Epsilon?) Elite chapters typically have great return rates and therefore have to cut the most women; thus they want every woman on their list. If the chapters were comparable, it wouldn't really matter. After being on recruitment from the other side, there's not really a big difference from one position on a list to another.

It's not up to the chapters to decide whether they get QAs. QAs match more women if they maximize their options. A QA may be lower on the list than someone who suicides and doesn't match, but the QA gets a bid because she maximized her options.
