Yes there is. It's called "Dirty Rushing." You can't promise a PNM a bid during recruitment. Coming from an NPC chapter at Liltrixx's university, I can say with some assurance that the UCF sororities respect one another too much to make this any sort of regular practice. We help one another and have been aggressive about expansion over the last 10 years to cut down on the sizes of the individual chapters, but have also been very Panhellenic in our promotion of the new chapters and encouraging their colonization and establishment on campus.
No matter what you as a PNM put on your bid card-- whether it is 2-3 chapters or just 1, you always run the risk of not getting a bid. You have a greater chance of getting a bid by maximizing your options. Ostensibly, by pref night you're visiting chapters where you could see yourself as a member. But if you can't see yourself anywhere but ABC and you'd rather not be in a sorority at all if you can't be an ABC, you should SIP and know that you are taking that risk.
