Susie goes through recruitment, decides she likes C, and ends up with a bid from them.
Now let's say there are four sororities: A, B, and C from above, and D, a new colony that was recently established and is participating in formal recruitment for the first time. Susie prefs at C and D, loves them both, and after thinking long and hard, decides to list D first on her pref card, and ends up matching with D instead of C. One fewer new member for C.

However, Sally, Betty and Jane never would have even considered going through recruitment unless Chapter D was on campus. When they go through events, they realize that all the groups are great and each end up pledging A, B, and C respectively, something they never would have done unless the 'draw' of chapter D was present.
