I don't like guaranteed bidding, but I think the "call-back" method is a good thing, at least when you are talking about larger recruitments where chapters have to cut girls they would prefer not to. For example, Suzie PNM's older brother is the XYZ house sweetheart. Everyone knows this, and assumes she will go XYZ. Even though they like Suzie, nobody is going to waste an invite on her knowing she will go XYZ. If a chapter found out she had been dropped everywhere and still wants her, that is VERY different from Patty PNM who was in jail in high school and got dropped everywhere because the chapters know this.
Also, I have said this a million times on here, but I will do it once more: chapters make mistakes. When you have 1200 PNMs coming through your house in one day, you WILL mix some of them up. The year I was president, we had two Suzie Smiths, two Jennifer Joneses and THREE Amy Andersons (names obviously changed, but you get the idea). Sure, they had different PNM numbers, but you try putting together an invite list at 4am after rushing all day.
