At many schools there is a minuscule chance just in case the PNM ends up being a serial killer or something. There are few schools that actually guarantee placement.

That is, if a chapter a PNM preffed found out something bad about her on Pref Night and they would not want to extend a bid to that particular PNM. If the PNM was low on both lists and each chapter where the PNM preffed already got to quota, that PNM would not receive a bid.

This is very rare, but it could potentially happen. Extremely low percentage. (For the Ole Miss Moms -- don't go into panic-mode -- the chances are probably a fraction of a percentage).

wait... isn't this where quota additions would come into play? Assuming that the PNM had maximized her options and listed all groups where she attended preference on her MRABA?

No, this is where Quota Additions come into play. If the PNM has played by all of the rules, she should be placed in a chapter and receive a bid.

To the earlier question on "guaranteed placement:" AFAIK, Tufts is the only school that guarantees women a bid. At all these other schools, a PNM could be dropped after round one, or right before pref, or whatever. It's only if she gets invited to pref and attends all preference parties that the odds of not getting a bid effectively disappear (save the Friday the 13th scenario).
