When we were in the room before signing our pref cards, our Greek life director explicitly stated that if we ISP'd we would NOT be able to receive a snap bid... I don't know if that varies from school to school?

No. It's an NPC rule. Your GL director was just wrong or you're remembering it wrong.

I went through this past January, and I doubt I'm remembering it wrong. I know they were strongly trying to discourage girls from ISPing, so I don't know if she said that just to do that. (I also remember a couple girls being worried they wouldn't get a bid, and wanting to be able to pick up a snap bid, so several girls just didn't sign there MRABAs. I had two other friends, however, who put both houses on their pref cards, even though neither saw herself as XYZs. They both got bids to XYZ, one tried to go through the pledge process but dropped midway, and one just didn't show up to bid day.)

For those reasons, I don't think ISPing is bad. At all. Especially if you don't see yourself at XYZ. As has been said previously, it hurts the chapters, especially those who are lower tier and are less selective in their process (I hate labeling chapters as being top tier and lower tier, but I don't know how else to word it). If a girl prefs top tier ABC and lower tier XYZ, they hope for ABC based on reputations (this happens a LOT at my school), but end up getting a bid from XYZ, and they decline it or depledge. And it hurts the chapter.
