That's standard practice, actually. Once you fill out and sign a preference card, if you receive a bid, you are bound to that sorority for one year. You don't have to pledge, but you can't participate in any other org's COB events - you have to wait and either go through formal recruitment again the next year, or COB at some point after the one-year period is up.
In your scenario, the PNM might want to suicide ABC, and if she doesn't match she can then go to ABC's COB events (or DEF's or GHI's - anyone who's holding COB rush).
