The answer is yes. At least at UT.
In practice, I doubt that it's done often because (except in the case where a PNM is "playing the game" and tries to be released from a group that she doesn't want a bid from) in most cases - and I know that I am making some gross generalities here (maybe you guys will give me a little latitude) if a woman was released from all groups but one, it was likely for a reason (eg grades, Jr Class Standing, etc).
Here's where I need some latitude - Generally speaking, a chapter that traditionally makes quota can afford to have higher standards (require a higher GPA, only Freshmen, etc) whereas a chapter that doesn't usually make quota may decide they want to pledge a few Juniors or will take a chance on a woman with a little bit of a lower GPA, etc. The only way that the woman would receive a bid via GP is if that chapter did make quota and she wasn't high enough on their bid list to be placed.... Assuming that history repeats itself and the chapter doesn't meet quota, this woman would get a bid via normal bid matching not by GP.
