Someone had touched on this earlier, but I know a big problem at my old school was that the big houses that everyone wanted to be a part of often strung girls along when they knew very well they wouldn't bid them. For example, everyone wants to be in AB, CD, and EF. Of course not everyone can. But these houses still invite back the maximum number that they can, regardless if they plan on bidding them. So after the first round, the PNMs see that they're invited back to the bigger houses, and drop the smaller ones. Pref comes around and many girls either don't get invited to any pref parties or possibly get invited to one of their top houses and 2 small ones. Then they suicide the big house and don't get a bid. It doesn't happen to a huge number of girls, but there is a chunk of girls that end up bidless because of it.
