If you have a formal structured recruitment, then having every chapter offer bids to everybody they want would be chaos. If there are 15 sororities and 1200 PNMs, then it's possible that all 15 could offer bids to a couple hundred women. You could have one chapter getting 100 PNMs and another chapter getting 300 while others could end up with 20 or 30. You have no way of knowing who is really interested in your chapter because none of the rounds are invitational and PNMs can attend as many as they want. You would have to do away with the Total/Quota system completely because how would you determine quota or make sure that chapters only took quota?
At smaller colleges/universities, this can work, but not at the larger ones. That is why NPC now has 4 different options available, with guidelines for each College Panhellenic to determine, with guidance from the NPC area advisor. At a campus with two or three groups where quota is typically less than 10, then an informal recruitment can work very well. There is flexibility with all this.
