So obviously, she can decline to attend if they have to say what to do with her at bid matching.

Talking invites here, not bids/MRAA etc.

From the Green book: (Page 83, 15th addition)

What Every Potential New Member Needs to Know About Recruitment
 The College Panhellenic has information available that tells you what to expect during
recruitment (schedule, what to wear, etc.).
 It is permissible to ask questions when you do not understand.
 Some events will have more potential new members in attendance than others, and this is
no reflection on a chapter.
 You must attend all events for which you receive an invitation.
 Failure to attend an event may jeopardize your ability to receive invitations.
 Being a legacy of a group does not ensure membership in that group.
 Accurate financial information regarding membership is given by Panhellenic in a cost range
unless the individual groups provide specific chapter information to you.
 Good scholarship is important to all groups within Panhellenic.
 All NPC groups have policies against hazing.
 No chapter member may promise or imply the promise of a bid.
 You are expected to act politely and respectfully when attending an event.
 You should expect to be treated politely and with respect.
 Every woman attending a preference event must appear on that fraternity’s bid list, but this
does not ensure an invitation to join that particular fraternity, because recruitment is a
mutual selection process.
 You must be certain you understand the MRABA that you will be expected to sign
immediately after attending the last preference event.

Doesn't seem to be any reason to report anyone. Where are you getting that?

It says may. It doesn't say that you will be released from recruitment nor that it is required that you be released. Again, if they are doing that, the AA should know about it. What's wrong with doing that?

Why would you report something which isn't against the rules?

The reason to require pnms to attend all parties is to do all you can to enable them to make an informed decision. Chapters cannot cut pnms without meeting them at first round parties - they need to make an informed decision. Same with the pnms - and we all know of pnms who changed their minds about a chapter over the course of recruitment.
