What with quotas and everything, I'm sure that group of girls that wanted literally the most wanted house (or at least #2 I'm sure) on campus ended up with the house that I had wanted because they were guaranteed a bid. And the house that I had become less and less attached to offered me a bid probably because many girls dropped them, and Panhellenic matches girls to get the maximum amount of girls to each house.

No no no no no. That's not how it works.
You did not get "shoved out" of Joan because there were girls who didn't get Rachel or Trudy or whoever. I think the way your Rho Chi told you was a little misleading. She should have said: if you are INVITED BACK by only one house, you are assured of a bid to that house. The way you put it makes it sound like she was saying "well if you would have blown off going to Peggy, Joan would have offered you a bid." That's not how it works. That would have gotten you kicked out of rush with no chance of any bid to anything.
Also, you were not high up enough on Joan's bid list to be a QA, which as vp said you would have been eligible for ONLY by putting down both groups. Basically you put down Peggy not because you could ever see yourself there, but because you thought it would help you get Joan.
I definitely think you made the correct choice in declining your bid.
