Here's the bottom line on not maximizing your options, as I see it: if a girls is sure that she'd rather not be Greek than be in a group, she shouldn't list the group.
If she lists them and ends up matched to that group and determines that she still doesn't want to be a member of that group, she has to wait a year before she can accept another bid.
But if she doesn't list them, she cuts her changes of receiving a bid by at least a third and actually more because if she lists all three groups, she is guaranteed a bid at one of them as a QA*
Only listing one or two, if she doesn't match, she can only hope for a snap bid from a different group or the chance to COB later.
Personally, at UGA, I don't think that listing or not listing really changes the outcome any. COB is such a rare thing for many groups that for a girl who is willing to rule groups out in formal matching as bad fits (or beneath her), retaining the option to COB isn't worth much to her.
ETA: It's been called to my attention that it's not actually guaranteed.
