Nutshell explanation: Quota Additions.
PNMs who complete the entire Recruitment process in good faith (maximizing their options each round and attending all parties they are invited to) may still end up not getting matched due to each of their Pref Chapters having filled Quota by the time their name is reached on each Bid List. Chapters are then given "Quota Additions" by Panhellenic to match these women.
Those PNMs shouldn't be punished just because there weren't spaces left. The goal in setting Quota is twofold: match as many PNMs as possible and have as many Chapters reach Quota as possible. Had Panhellenic set Quota higher to account for these unmatched PNMs it would cause some Chapters to not meet Quota. It is better for (almost) all Chapters to reach Quota for I/natl reporting, PR purposes, etc. and then have a few get some extra members.
