I guess I'm still confused on this process tomorrow or tonight.
PNM puts
#1 as A
#2 as B
#3 as C
"A" has PNM on list as #53 with quota at 53
B has PNM on list as 54
C has PNM on list as 20 (or anything above 52)
Does PNM automatically get the bid for C that she listed as #3 and if she doesn't accept cannot go into COB hoping for her # 1 or # 2 or snap?

It's late so hopefully I explain this correctly and clearly...
In your example above, A goes down their bid list and fills up their slots to quota. It is very rare for any chapter to get their entire first bid list because this would mean that every PNM Sorority A wanted first also wanted A first. Therefore, A continues down their bid list until they have a list of 53 girls (quota in your example).
If PNM is within that bid list of 53 girls (even if she was #75 on A's list) then she is in A's new member class. If A has already filled their list before reaching PNM, then they look at Sorority B. If B has not yet filled all 53 slots, then she will match to B. If B has filled all 53 slots, then they look at sorority C to see if PNM matches there.
If she does not fall within the first 53 women on A, B or C's bid list, she could still end up in A, B or C's bid list if the campus uses quota additions. I know I'm too out of it to explain quota additions tonight
Hope that helped. If I made any mistakes, other GCers please correct me!
