I don't understand the question...are you talking about a PNM or the chapters accepting the PNMs? When you do bidmatching you go through all the membership acceptance cards one time. Those that don't match on first round are set aside for the second round and are run through again. A PNMs first choice will be asked for repeatedly until their first choice chapter has reached quota. Then on the next round, the PNMs second choice will be attempted for the match.

A chapter cannot move down to it's #2 list until their #1 bid has been trimmed down to zero, either by matching girls or by names being taken off the list because they pledged elsewhere. #1 list is in alphabetical order, #2 (and 3) lists are usually in order by preference. If quota were 3...

List #1
a
b
c

List #2
z
f
g

List # 3
