A PNM on the second bid list of each chapter she attends may end up with her third choice, while a chapter may end up with a quota addition who is the absolute last person on their bid list.

The way I have seen QA's handled on one campus is that all of the houses who fill quota get QA's and they appear to be distributed on a fairly equal basis. No one on this campus ends up cross cut. Some houses may get one or two more QA's but it is determined based on how many of those bottom, bottom girls are not matched. They look at the numbers and start adding names to chapter matched bid lists. And you are right, the QA's almost always get their first choice whereas the girls caught in the middle of the B lists often get their second choice. Weird.
