I do know that I personally believe a rushee should go to the chapters she chooses and to be able to receive more than one bid. The 26 NPC groups have, however, chosen to give up autonomy to "fairness". (In my opinion, sometimes we spend so much time on "fair" that we forget to do what's "right".) I know I don't have a say; that's what happens in any representative form of government.
I've also heard "it's the system we're stuck with". To my mind, that's acceptance of status quo with no attempt at improvement, but again I realize I may be in the minority. I'm certainly not on the same page as the decision makers.
So you have your opinion, and I have mine. I'll not silence mine.

What's not "perfect" about the system is NOT that the women have to meet ALL the sororities but that decisions have to be made quickly with little information. Your plan doesn't fix that. There are still hundreds to over a thousand women going through recruitment at these schools. The majority of the women going through have NEVER heard of some of these chapters but happily find a home as a FIRST choice after meeting the women there.
I love how you latch onto the WORST case scenarios and present your small school recruitment model with likely a horrendous placement percentage as a solution. Good for you that it worked and that YOU wouldn't have cared that it hadn't. The problem is that MOST other women DO care when they go bidless. We get it, you had a great experience. Tout your experience, but put the appropriate caveats of # of PNMs rushing, # of PNMs placed, size of chapters and number of women who went bidless. Otherwise your stories are just cute stories from a bitter old women who likes to complain about walking up hill to and from school. BTW, silencing opinions go both ways, so trying to bully me with your overtly hostile post is not cool.
