I know you could list them at the very end of your list, but there is always a chance that they still end up on ABC's bid list.

It's part of "the rules" about when bid lists are submitted. Most chapters are not amending them after pref starts. If the PNM really feels that way she can decline the bid.

I know its part of the rules, but I was wondering if someone knew the reasoning behind it? Personally I think its a silly rule.

Well, it's an NPC agreement which means that at least a majority of the NPC members agreed on it. (not sure if it's unanimous or not) Reasons behind it? It means that bid matching can begin immediately after pref without waiting for MS. It means that pref is more about the actives impressing the PNMs than vice versa, and it means the sororities will not invite PNMs back that they don't intend to keep. Those are the reasons i see, I don't know if there's anything else involved.

I'd think the occasions are very few where a chapter would dramatically change its mind about a PNM during pref.
