In the University of Texas UPC Constitution (which is public and a link to follow) it states:
Quote:
Guaranteed Placement: The following procedures should be followed if women whose bids did not match in the normal course of bid matching must be placed in fraternity chapters who have already reached Quota:
i. The potential new member will be matched to the fraternity chapter she has listed on her preference card that is the smallest in chapter size, as long as her name appears on that chapter’s preferential bid list. By matching her there, that group may exceed quota in order to place every potential new member eligible for guaranteed placement (see ii ) in a chapter.
ii. This procedure shall never include a potential new member who lists an intentional single preference on her preference card or one who has failed to accept or attend any recruitment event for which there was room in her schedule.
|
The way this reads I would gather that if a chapter does not have her on the bid list, she indeed would not get a bid if she was invited to, and attended one pref party OR she would go to chapter "B" if chapter "A" left her off their bid list.
I find it all very, very interesting.

Now my question is this: If a school "sells" guaranteed placement, I would say they are in a bit of pickle if a PNM attends two pref parties and then does not end up on either bid list. Probably not common, but I would think it could happen, especially if some type of bad girl behavior was stumbled upon between scheduled days....you will find so much "cross association" between girls at UT, that if a PNM makes a fool of herself in the night time hours during recruitment, it will spread like fire.
