I don't think that this is a bad thing. It doesn't guarantee every woman who goes through Recruitment a bid. It guarantees that if a woman goes through Recruitment, maximizes her returns, and ranks every house she preffed, then she'll get a bid. And isn't this supposed to be how it works?
Doesn't UTA have a pretty lengthy recruitment week? I think that the kitten-killers would be ousted before Pref. I mean, if a girl is really awful, it's possible that she would be released from all houses by the end of second round. And the sororities won't be "screwed" (e.g. stuck with Suzy Slut, Debbie Ditz, et al.) as long as they adhere to release figures and only invite women to Pref that they'd be willing to call "Sister." It seems to me that this system keeps the sororities in check: it makes sure that they play by the rules.
