If she doesn't list a group on her bid card, she is not eligible to receive a bid from them. It's the only time in the process that a PNM is actually cutting a group. That has consequences, though, so all PNMs are encouraged to list all of the groups that have preffed them.

Yes! The consequence for not "maximizing your options" and listing all of the places that you preffed at is that you are not eligible for quota additions. Quota additions is set up to help more PNMs get bids AND more of them to get their first choice from pref night. The way quota additions works is that if you do not match the top of one of your pref groups listed, the RFM specialist will still place you in one of the places you preffed. As long as nothing SUPER AWKWARD comes out pref night, QA rules say you should get a bid.

If she hates one of her pref groups, she should understand that she may get a bid from them if she lists them.

All the groups at Ole Miss are awesome! - but maybe she would rather try for ADPi? She is not assured of getting a bid if she applies to ADPi - they will pick founding mothers carefully.

Yep. Lots of us didn't get our first choice and turned out fine. Maybe you didn't hit it off with one girl who rushed you but you would be a superstar and the next Elle Woods in their new pledge class?
ETA: Another way to say it - we're almost home! Early rounds the chapter is making a lot of the cuts. Pref night - a lot of the choice switches to the PNM where she needs to think about which one is her favorite of her pref groups
