If she does not list legacy chapter at all, then she has a risk of not matching at all.

Taking legacies out of the equation, regarding the general question of are bids guaranteed if they maximize their options up through preference and listing both chapters on their card: While most campuses do this, my understanding directly from Panhellenic is at IU there is not a guarantee. I think they try hard to get most girls placed, but apparently it is not 100%.

^This is the impression I am under, as well.
