Please be cautious when you encourage girls about Alpha Phi, because not all of them will be able to join and it's also unfair to Alpha Phi.

I don't think people are suggesting girls check out Alpha Phi because we think they're more likely to get a bid to the colony. We're simply suggesting it because it would be a great opportunity for them to check out. We know that competition for the colony will be high, and that not every girl who's interested is going to get a bid. But I don't think there's anything wrong with telling girls they should find out more about it.
