Say, the girl goes to A and B for prefs and then ends up with a bid that says C and she hasn't seen C since the first round.

Something similar happened to a girl we pledged her sophomore year. First year, she went through recruitment and kept dropping a group because she didn't feel like she got along with them and she was convinced they only wanted her for her religion. She was invited to pref this group and another group.
Her Rho Gamma warned her about ISPing, but she swears she did not put the first group down on her preference card. She said she thought about it for a long time, because of Rho Gamma's warning, but decided against it. (I am not entirely sure about this, because of what happened).
She went to bid day, got a bid from this group and turned it down. She returned to her dorm room to find balloons, streamers, and a big "XYZ welcomes you!" sign, which made it even worse. (Especially for those girls who took the time to decorate it!)
She ended up waiting a year and going through again. This time, XYZ dropped her immediately, which was to be expected.
