I can see how it could happen when the PNM ranks someone they didn't pref-----and I've seen posts from many here talking about doing it---either required or just because they like someone they didn't pref. But if they didn't have them on their bid card, they shouldn't have to accept.

I had a different problem. I went to bid matching one year when we didn't make quota. A PNM that had declined us with interest in an early round, ranked us. Her pref groups did not give her a bid and we didnt have her on our bid list. Because we had a place open and would have offered her a snap bid, we did extend a bid. She accepted and became a great member.

We had a similar story to SigK_Bama's, 2 girls we cut every round of rush (somehow they kept turning back up at our parties) and put on our B bid list because we didn't have a choice ended up getting bids to our house. We actually tried to give them a chance in the beginning, then once it was determined by most women that it wasn't going to work out we tried to de-pledge them. Long story short they got initiated and we never heard from or about them again - I can't figure out why they would pay all that money if they were never going to show up again after that
