Something doesn't add up...
Disclaimer: I'm not involved with this panhellenic, so I'm answering in general terms ONLY as a chapter adviser who has done RFM on my campus and is familiar with the PROCESS
In RFM, the "flex add/remove" is a list separate from the daily invite back list, and it used by panhellenic during the process of bringing back the women for the next day. It allows panhellenic to either remove some the PNM's if the chapter is doing particularly well (ie more PNM's are ranking that chapter highly to return to it than panhellenic would have expected from their usual return rates), or to add additional women to the party if more women do not rank to return to that chapter, so that the chapter has an adequate amount of PNM's going into the next round to make them likely to meet quota. Both of these lists are put together by the chapter so panhellenic doesn't just willy-nilly remove or add women to the chapter's invite list.
As far as the bid list goes, chapters can choose to add women to their bid list even if they did not attend the chapter's party. This is often the case if they invite women to their preference and those women elect to go to other chapters, most of the time if the chapter liked those women enough to invite them for preference, they would be delighted to have them in the house.
That being said...its not really a flex list per se for the bid list.
And per NPC rules...a woman who single intentional pref's any house, regardless of whether or not she attended a pref party there, is NOT available for quota additions.
My best guess is that the chapter did not in fact make quota and made snap bids to those women who did not match through regular matching.
