I'm going to say it does; however I am definately not the expert on this matter. I recieved a bid (and it wasnt a snap bid) after not attending pref. I also know of a few other girls who recieved bids from other chapters than my own, who also were at the football game (they r cheerleaders or on pom squad) as well as a sister who recieved a bid after being at the game (shes in color gaurd). I know the game was considered a "class " event fot those of us in band because marching band is a class that gives a grade and counts for credit. As for the cheerleaders I believe it is just a sport, not a class. Also it may of been different because there were lots of us, and it was a school event. I also informed exec, as I would assume everyone else did, before I signed up for recruitment to double check it would not hurt my chance of recieving a bid (consiquently I did not fully sign up for recruitment until like 2 days before rush actually started). I also have a sister who missed pref night and bid day because she was in a bicycle race. This was for charity not class, and she also recieved a bid. So of the 6 people I know who missed pref night all did recieve a bid (to 3 different chapters of the 7 on campus). PLease note these r the only ones I know of and there very well could be girls who missed pref that did not recieve a bid.
I do have a friend who had gone through rush the year before and the same thing happened with a football game so she had to miss pref night. She did not recieve a bid, and she believes that her not attending pref caused her not to get a bid. (again this is what she said).
Besides from her I have another friend who did not sign up to go through recruitment because she was told that not attending pref ruined ur chances of getting a bid. (Obviously this was not the case, and I do not know who actually told her this.)
Sorry to be so lengthy and I hope this at least makes a little sense.
