There is no rule prohibiting it, but if a Panhellenic had to do a hand rematch every time someone didn't get the bid they were expecting, that's all they would do all year. From what I'm hearing, it sounds like this girl got a bid from her #3 choice and is unhappy. Unless there are a large number of women complaining (including the sorority chapters), my guess is that there may have been a crosscut situation, for example:
Sally PNM's pref card:
ABC =1
DEF = 2
GHI = 3
ABC's bid list:
Sally appears low on their #2 list
ABC fills to quota before Sally's name comes up.
DEF's bid list:
Sally appears low on their #2 list
DEF fills to quota before Sally's name comes up.
GHI's bid list:
Sally is on their first list. Sally's bid is from GHI.
Alphafrog already explained this above, btw.
She has two choices - accept the bid and give the chapter a FAIR shot. If she is still unhappy, she can leave the chapter before initiation and try recruitment next year OR she can decline the bid and be eligible for recruitment next year.
FWIW, if I had declined my not #1 bid, I wouldn't be here today, a proud alumna of 25 years membership in my Fraternity.
