I was under the incorrect impression that ever campus that used quota additions matched every girl who maximized options, and I know now that I was wrong.
Which campuses do actually promise that PNMs will get a group if they maximize after prefs?
(Is the stopping point for quota additions typically when every group for whom there were unmatched PNM is at total and has been matched with quota additions up to 5% of quota? The other unmatched PNMs are just out of luck and only have COB options just like the girls who SIPed? That seems wrong to me somehow. )

Mine didn't have quota additions for maximized options.
I went to a smallish private Northern university. It was a highly competitive recruitment for the kind of school it was, and there were quite a few PNMs left with one or two (out of 3 possible) pref invites who were ultimately not placed after prefs.
That said, we also allowed snap bidding, even if a girl SIPed or dropped out of recruitment. It actually sort of functioned as a "guaranteed placement" system for all PNMs: there was one very small, struggling chapter who was allowed to snap every unplaced PNM whether or not the PNM dropped out or suicided. This sorority's numbers were in the 20s and 30s on a campus where total was usually about 95.
So, the effect was essentially the same... all the unbid PNMs COULD have joined a sorority, had they been willing. Of course, this didn't function like a quota additions where a PNM would be guaranteed a spot in any of the sororities at which she preffed (most PNMs dropped out, unfortunately, had they been left with only this particular chapter for prefs).
This particular chapter has grown in numbers and is a little bit stronger since I left, and I don't think they do the "shotgun snapping" (as their method was called) anymore.
