I suppose this could apply to just first and second choices period. Doesn't alot of the matching have to do with how high each sorority places you on their bid lists?

If the chapter really, really wanted Polly PNM, she would be on their first bid list. If Polly put ABC first and ABC had her on the first bid list then there would be a match. If ABC had her somewhere near the top of the second bid list, it is possible that ABC made quota before they got to Polly's name. That may be a reason she got a bid from XYZ as XYZ was second on her list. The only way that I can see ABC having an opening later is that they had a drop on bid day or they have a place or two to reach total. It happens.
