This is very rare, but it could potentially happen. Extremely low percentage. (For the Ole Miss Moms -- don't go into panic-mode -- the chances are probably a fraction of a percentage).
No, this is where Quota Additions come into play. If the PNM has played by all of the rules, she should be placed in a chapter and receive a bid.

To the earlier question on "guaranteed placement:" AFAIK, Tufts is the only school that guarantees women a bid. At all these other schools, a PNM could be dropped after round one, or right before pref, or whatever. It's only if she gets invited to pref and attends all preference parties that the odds of not getting a bid effectively disappear (save the Friday the 13th scenario).
