Intentional Single Preference (ISP) is Bad

I've also thought at times it would be a good idea to make a rule that a PNM can not join a chapter she ISP'ed for one year.

I find that if you're ISPing a chapter and you don't get a bid from them during FR, you aren't going to get one from them during COR either. Maybe that's just an observation from the schools I have experience with.

True, but it doesn't stop a chapter from saying that. I'm suggesting a formal rule to keep the chapters in line, not the PNM's.

If a chapter matches quota, but there's a no show or two at bid day/early on in the NM process, the chapter is going to look at their snap list first, which may very well contain someone who ISPed their chapter. That seems like an unneccessarily harsh penalty for both the PNM and chapter. It's a good idea to emphasize that hoping for a snap bid is a bad idea, but I don't think that not allowing PNMs to join a chapter that she ISPed if the opportunity presents itself is fair.

shadokat's school actually did do this because so many women were suiciding and then getting COB bids afterwards.

This mainly happens with chapters that are not at total...but if that many chapters are having that issue that they can do this...you need to lower total.
