So if this is true, then it shouldn’t matter where she fell alphabetically as she was never on XYZ’s first bid list and XYZ met quota before it had to move to the second bid list.

I think the alphabetical order may be misleading.
Presumably, the sororities have an idea, even if it's just an educated guess, as to what quota will be. They'll put the most effort into the order of that estimated number plus a cushion. Because they don't want a girl they would just die without to be their #11 who slips through the cracks any more than that girl does. Based on what I remember, alpha had little to do with any position on the list.
For example, Laura Legacy will probably trump Amy Aardvark.
