Irish - I know what you mean.
One thing I did see happen for the better(?) was on pref, pnms ended up with their bottom two choices (or two that reappeared) vs a first choice AND a last choice.
This allowed the crushing blow of being rejected by your first choice to happen on pref day rather than bid day. If the Gamma Chis did their job, they managed to get these girls propped back up and regrouped in time to attend parties and consider being something other than their first choice.
I would love to know if this really was the norm or something I told myself was happening often simply because I saw it happen to a few. I do know that girls dropped out on pref day (again, before BID day which might be positive) but am not sure what flexibility our two new groups have for COB and coming back around to some of these darling girls that were too overwhelmed and exhausted to think clearly.
