I can see requiring girls to go to as many pref parties as possible. True, there are some girls who know exactly where they want to go (and for the right reasons), but how much is it really going to hurt you to make nice during the 45 minutes of some other chapter's party? You can make it clear to the sisters you aren't truly interested.
But there are a lot of girls who aren't very open-minded or still have an idea that they "need" to be in the pretty/popular chapter and just need to get to know the girls in other houses better because they aren't going to ever be high enough on their first-choice chapter's bid list. I've seen girls change their mind about which chapter to join after preference.
Still, I don't think that's any excuse for making a PNM then go and put any chapter down on her bid card. Putting a chapter on your bid card is saying, "I'm willing to be a member here." If a girl doesn't want to join chapter X, whether her reasons are good or bad, all that will happen is she will get a bid she doesn't want and be non-Greek for a year. And we hope it doesn't sour her on Greek life so much she never joins!
