So the pnm ends up pledging nothing and returns to go through rush again the next year.
Could it be that different rules regarding this issue vary from campus to campus? Where would I find out the last word on this?

On preference night, when a PNM ranks her remaining chapters, she signs a MRAA (Membership Recruitment Acceptance Agreement). She can be matched to any chapter that she listed on the card. If she matches and chooses not to take the bid she received, she is ineligible to join another chapter for another year. The "bid card" on XYZ stationary is merely a formality. Don't list a chapter on your MRAA (pref card) if you would not accept a bid from them.
This only applies to formal recruitment. During informal recruitment, a PNM can be offered as many bids as there are chapters participating, but she is not bound to any if she chooses not to accept any.
