There are a ton of people on here who are super knowledgeable about bid matching, but here's a general idea of how it goes:
If you attend a pref party, you ARE on their bid list. Everyone is. It's a matter of WHERE you are on their list.
If Second Choice Sorority put you as their #1 and First Choice Sorority put you farther down on their list, if First Choice already matches quota before they get to your name on the list, you go with Second Choice since you were so high up on their list and you listed them on your bid card.
Second Choice didn't do anything sneaky to get you. They can't move people's names around. You were at the top of their list because they wanted you.

Just to beat a dead horse, being #1 on a chapter's bid list does not affect the bid matching process as to other chapters.
You did not get a bid to your first choice for the sole, simple reason that you were not high enough on their bid list. While I know this is harsh, I hate when PNMs hold onto false hope that they "should have been" placed elsewhere. Additionally, it makes you sound like a fool to anyone who is familiar with bid matching.
Simply put, if you can handle rejection go through recruitment again. If getting a bid to your “bottom 4” or no bid at all is going to make you bitter or depressed, don’t go through recruitment again.
