I'm a bit anxious. I posted my concerns on the Theta forum yesterday and Benzgirl was kind enough to provide a thoughtful reply. My daughter selected two, versus three, sororities on Preference Day (Kappa Alpha Theta and Delta Gamma), thereby reducing her options for a bid. Benzgirl thought she would remain in contention for a bid by having selected at least two sororities, although Kappa Alpha Theta and Delta Gamma are purportedly among the most popular at Ohio State.
Interestingly, over a half-dozen PNMs mentioned they also received two highly desired sorority options and a third choice they absolutely did not want among their Preference Day options.
Mere coincidence?

I think that would be the most likely combination for most girls. Having an option of a less competitive group is more likely since they usually are allowed to offer more invitations to their parties than the more popular groups.
As for the likelihood of getting a bid, as long as your daughter is high enough on Theta or DG's lists, she will get her bid, not listing the third chapter should not effect that as long as she wouldn't need to be a quota addition. She effectively eliminated her chances of being added to either group as a quota addition which may slightly decrease her chances of receiving a bid (minutely), but I don't even know if Ohio does QAs. If, however, she doesn't get a bid, I hope she really would prefer to not be in a sorority than to be a member of this third group.
