I think I understand why the OP is worrying about the bid matching process. Like most things these days, there can often be a "science" or strategy to succeeding. For example, being told that it is really better to leave an answer blank on the SAT vs answering it wrong. That type of info can help or hurt the student's score. The OP is trying to understand the procedure so she doesn't hurt herself when it comes time to rank houses. I am also one of those people who likes to know what the strategies of life are, so I totally understand.
However, what has been stated above is true - there are sorority women who do not completely understand the process, so it would be overkill to try to worry about it. You can do this:
Find out if your panhellenic has the policy that says, "if a pnm is invited to two houses on pref night (or three, whatever the max is) AND she accepts those invitations, she is guaranteed a bid at one of the houses she returns to pref night." (that is not a verbatim quote but close) Then, rank the houses according to your preference and rest easy knowing that you will get a bid at one of them.
