Yes, that is entirely possible, and becoming more common. Many schools are adopting a "guaranteed matching" policy. It guarantees that a PNM who has made it with at least one chapter for preference round who has maximized her options throughout recruitment and ranks all of her preference party chapters will get a bid to one of those chapters. It's to discourage suiciding and to reward the women who "play fair" during recruitment. The release figure method forces chapters to trim their bid lists to maximize the number of chapters making quota and PNMs getting placed.
Note this is not a "guarantee a bid to any PNM who signs up for recruitment to the point where chapters have to argue who gets stuck with certain PNMs" policy. Only Tufts does that.
