From Pref Night to Bid Day: What happens?

I swear, it's 2013 and I still think everything is done by hand. :P

Could it be possible for a PNM to only attend two (or, heaven forbid, one) parties that day? Would she still be guaranteed a bid if she listed those two on the card? She technically maximized her options in this case.

It is definitely possible for a PNM to be invited back to one or two chapters. Invite instead of attend because a PNM SHOULD ALWAYS ATTEND every party they are invited to.

There is no such thing as a guaranteed bid.

Maximizing options includes those who had fewer options than those available. So yes, if a PNM only went to one chapter, they could only write one chapter and would be considered maximizing their options. This is the best way for a PNM to walk out of recruitment with a bid as she is not closing herself off of any opportunities she may have to receiving a bid.
