One or two, maybe, but six is ridiculous.
She basically ruined her chances the second rush started by placing a big red X on those six chapters.

I agree, but the caveat is that a PNM not feeling she would be comfortable in 6 chapters is outrageous...but it's not always outrageous that a PNM would not feel comfortable in 6 chapters (out of 17) based on how they presented themselves during rush. At my campus I think I could fit into the overwhelming majority of chapters (if not all of them), but during recruitment we all know of chapters that come off poorly despite their incredible group personality. Sometimes they act stressed, sometimes defeated, sometimes reeking of trying too hard, etc. That act will undoubtedly lead women astray about their true personality...after bid day, often these chapters will be some of the most fun and down to earth!
That's why I'd advise women (only at a competitive school where COB/COR opportunities are practically non-existent and often as competitive as the original formal recruitment) to accept any bid and roll with it for a few weeks. Often times a chapter will scare away PNMs based on poor recruiting skills (often fostered by an intense or negative recruitment chair or recruitment advisor) but in reality they are a very fun group of women.
