^^This is why I really think that guaranteed matching is a good idea. If a PNM plays by the rules, maximizes her options, ranks all her preference chapters, she completely deserves to be placed in one of those chapters. In the above situation, I'd venture to say that the PNM in question did fit into top tier chapters, because not one, not two, but 3 of them invited her to pref! Top tier chapters do not have long bid lists per the RFM (probably 1.5x quota), so they definitely want every single PNM on their lists. The above situation is an example of a PNM getting screwed for no reason.

ETA: I understand quota is a method to keep sororities on equal footing. As long as a campus is using the RFM, chapters will make the necessary cuts, and if a chapter happens to do a little better one year and match a few more women via quota additions, let them. Having each chapter make EXACTLY quota (and no more) should not be important. Much better than having broken hearts for no reason.
