Bama (presumably, if they "guarantee a bid") guarantees a bid to women who are invited to and attend one or more preference parties and maximize their options (attend and rank all parties for which they have room on their schedules) throughout recruitment. A better term would be "guaranteed matching".
This policy does not "guarantee a bid" for any Jane that signs up for recruitment. If all the chapters cut her, Panhellenic can't force any of them to take her (except at Tufts)
.
This policy also does not apply to women who drop out or do not rank all of their preference chapters. It's actually a measure to discourage "suiciding".
Presumably, everyone is "worried" that they won't get their top picks.
ETA: Just as Alpha Phi will be recolonizing at Alabama, Kappa Alpha Theta will be recolonizing at Auburn, although not until January. Another option for your daughter to consider, AuburnMom08. Of course, no guarantees.
