My school does not have guaranteed bidding. It's possible, though rare, that a PNM could maximize her invitations, be invited to prefs, sign a pref card, not ISP, yet not get a bid.
On the one hand, I'd hate to be the PNM who attended two or three pref parties, didn't ISP, thought everything was going swimmingly, only to turn up on bid day and be sent home bidless. On the other hand, I'd hate to see one or two sororities ignore release numbers, invite a bunch of people to pref, then say "gee... all these people were invited to our prefs, 50 of them didn't match anywhere, we can't let them go home disappointed, so we'll take them" and have much larger NM classes than everyone else. This is why release numbers are important.
I, too, disagree with the Tufts system. What if a PNM is released from all groups because of grades? What if she's just a total nightmare? Sounds like trouble.
