Splash, in this case, you have to choose the lesser of two "evils". Although the system isn't perfect...

I'd rather see a few PNMs who MIGHT have had a chance in a "top" chapter get bids to a different chapter (and most likely be happy with that), than have a bunch of PNMs with no bids who could have easily been running to an amazing group of sisters on bid day.

Exactly...unfortunately, she's unable to see that in the real world, we can't just worry about Suzie Q, and where her top preference might be even though she isn't the top preference of her favorite chapter. The greater interest of the entire system is more important in the long run. Even if Suzie "won" them over, she probably just skated in, and everyone wondered who she was on bid day.

Well that and it's not that Suzie's going bidless, she's just not getting her OMG first choice.
