If she signed a bid card on Pref Day, no, she could not accept a bid to another group right now. If the sorority wants to invite her to COB events knowing she can't be offered a bid until Fall 2011, that's their prerogative. Same as they could invite someone whose grades aren't up to par. It's not a Panhel sponsored event so if their HQ says it's OK for them to invite such people they can do so.

That being said, this can backfire too. If a girl was state baton twirling champ, has a ton of twirling awards and such - but is sick of twirling taking up all her time and is really not wanting to do it anymore in college or talk about it - it's not going to go over well if she's matched with a twirling champ from another state. I would wager that many girls when they are filling out applications or giving their resumes to sorority alums for a rec have NO clue that what they write is going to be used to "match" them. They're just told to write their achievements and honors and they do so - even if those things are not something they're into any longer.
