Most chapters would have released them earlier anyway since it's not desireable to have a pledge class full of only legacies.

Actually, it is statistically true that the majority of PNMs get a bid at their first choice. I don't think I've ever seen recruitment stats where more than 50% of the PNMs go to their second or third choice. At least 51% go to their first choice chapter, almost always. That doesn't mean it is guaranteed that you will get your first choice, but to say that "most" go to their top choice is not a lie.

However, let's say at preference, she was incredibly rude to chapters 2 and 3 and made it clear she did not want their bid and then listed all 3 chapters on her card. All 3 chapters would make quota and she would not be on any of the bid lists. She would be eligible as a QA. Would she then get her choice? Not trying to start anything, just wondering.

NPC is pretty clear that if someone is invited to Pref, they are also somewhere on your bid list. This would probably backfire on this woman and she would alienate a whole bunch of greeks too.
