As long as it's after groups cut the majority of the people they aren't seriously interested in, I think it could work. It's just tricky because a lot of us believe that there should be an incentive to encourage PNMs to give the chapters that didn't first wow them a second or third chance. It's important that they have a chance to go back after their dream groups cut them.
Although many girls get bids from the first choice of the groups on the bid card, I think it's a much tinier group that get bids from the group they picked as number one after 1st round. If we let the PNMs cut group too early and if we don't have an incentive for them to keep their eyes open, it increases the chance that they won't join at all.
Sometimes I do wonder what it would be like to have a system like the guys do: as long as you're happy with the numbers and your national group thinks you're healthy, there doesn't seem to be pressure to take a certain number of people. At every campus, there are well regarded guys' chapters of different sizes. But in the traditional NPC recruitment, quota, chapter total system, to be more than maybe 10-15% smaller than the biggest chapter often makes the chapter suspect.
(You know how guys can kind of give out bids any time and they aren't limited in number? Do you think that if women's groups did that some women would forever stalk certain chapters?)
