On the other hand, she does have a better chance than just regular bid matching would allow if she's close to the point on the list at which the group made quota.
(Up until last year, I though that QAs meant that a girl would be matched no matter what if she maximized, but not at UGA at least.)

This is what happened to one of my daughter's close friends last year (that's how we learned about it together, UGAalum94, remember?!) She was heartbroken, to say the least. She was just too far down the bid list and the chapter was at total even though it was smaller than some of the other chapters at UGA, they couldn't take her.
However, a couple of weeks later she accepted a bid to another chapter through COB and was named their outstanding new member last year. Her picture even appeared in this year's Pointer on that chapter's page.
Four chapters did COB in the spring, and the chapter that she had preffed during formal rush ended up participating, but she is very happy where she pledged and is already serving in a leadership position.
So, the moral of the story is......heartbreak happens. What you do with it after that is up to you.
