Shadokat,
According to National Panhellenic rules, if a woman does not receive an invitation to membership during formal recruitment bid matching, she is eligible for further recruitment either by snap bidding or C.O.B. This applies to any woman, regardless of the number of preferences listed on her preference card. If a potential member lists one choice or three, and doesn't get an invitation to join, she can be snap bid or pledged via C.O.B. Intentional single preferencing is strongly discouraged as it limits the opportunity for a girl to receive an invitation for membership.
There are times, however, when a potential member only attends one preference party and, therefore, has no choice but to put down one selection on her card. If this woman declined an event invitation 'with interest', she can put down the names of those groups on her preference card, if she wishes.
It is only when a potential member refuses to accept the invitation offered to her OR when a pledge drops out of a chapter before initiation, that the woman is ineligible from participating in recruitment for one calendar year.
