Ok, just had to comment here on this thread, which is something since I haven't done that in a while.
I have witnessed situations where a pnm doesn't get a bid from one of the chapters listed on her pref card. This is always (at my campus) because the chapters she did list hit quota. Another chapter is still really interested in her and decides it's worth a shot to keep her on their list. After bid matching, she is essentially snap bid by the other chapter. She may have dropped them b/c she didn't like them or b/c she didn't attend their events b/c she had to cut chapters, even if she were interested in them. Since she did not list that chapter on her pref card, it is not a binding bid and she can say no and then go to COB and COR events in the spring. Panehl should call her and tell her what is up. She should not show up to bid day with a bid from a chapter she did not list.
I do have to disagree with the comment that greek advisors should not be present at bid matching. I want to know what is going on with the system that I manage and I'm usually the one mediating the matching (reading the cards and that whole process). I don't understand why the gree or panhel advisor would not be present. I know there are some greek advisors who are a little off kilter, but there's nothing saying that HQ staff or chapter advisors are not the same way. The GA can be the neutral 3rd party that helps to keep everything in balance and to make sure all possibilities to match women are explored and to overcome blocks that may form. As always, there may be exceptions. I can just tell you that anywhere I work as a Greek Advisor, I better not have anyone tell me that I cannot be present during bid matching.
