The only difference is that I believe "suiciding" makes you ineligible to be a quota addition (if the school utilizes them).
So you have the same shot at getting #1, but the risk is high because if you DON'T get a bid to #1, you get released from recruitment with no bid at all. That's why Rho Chis and such discourage it.

I don't think I'm following you, KSUViolet06. If you don't "suicide"/ISP then you are eligible for quota additions, which gives you another chance to be placed in chapter #1 (or chapter #2), I believe.
When you ISP you must be high enough on chapter #1's bid list to get in before they fill up to quota. On the other hand, if you maximize your options and your campus guarantees a bid when you maximize your options, then you could end up in chapter #1 through quota additions if you are not high up enough on either #1's or #2's bid lists. That's why I was saying I thought your chances at getting a bid to #1 are higher because you have a second chance at getting the bid.
Or am I misunderstanding something here?
