As far as I know, MRABA is not a legally binding contract as such. It is a condition of joining a private organization. So, even if a 17 year old said, "I don't like the bid I got! You can't make me wait until next year to re-rush because I was too young to be held to a contract to start with. I'm going to do informal rush!" the organizations would just be like, "That's nice. You're not invited to our event."

This. The MRABA is telling you that the groups adhere to this. You can't join a group without an invitation to do so.

makes sense! I remember one girl saying something about how she wasn't signing her MRABA without a lawyer present and I was thinking, what 18 year old thinks of that? And the Pi Chi said it doesn't matter anyway, it's a rule, you have to sign it if you want a bid.

The MRABA isn't a legally binding contract - there's no offer and acceptance of something or an exchange of something of value for the performance of the contract ("consideration"). It's basically the PNM's signed acknowledgement of NPC's rules and procedures. No, the PNM doesn't have to sign it, but the NPC member groups are still going to abide by those rules and procedures.
