If there's a situation where a PNM will be placed to a chapter as a quota addition, and there's a decision to be made as to which of two chapters of exactly equal size, then I would think that would come down to a mini conference with the RFM Director and the reps of the two chapters involved, with the pnm either being placed where she preferred, or with the chapter that had her highest on their list.

As far as snap bids you are talking about offering bids from the chapter's perspective right? I agree with you totally- no chapter wants to hand out a bid to a woman they barely met once on the first day of recruitment. The combination of snap bidding and informal recruitment are designed to help chapters below total to meet that goal and absolutely offer opportunities to women that may have dropped out of recruitment or never participated. Snap bidding and informal were never intended as a "back door" plan to help women who ISP or decline a bid get into the chapter of their preference if they were not matched in the formal matching process.

No campus Panhellenic can force a chapter to offer membership to a PNM without their consent. No PNM is going to get stuck in a chapter that did not vote that woman into membership.
