Or is this respective to the scenarios I listed above? In other words, are there chapters that, when bid matching (either by hand or machine) want everyone on their first bid list? Like over the moon, "she NEEDS to be my sister" want.
Also, is the machine matching so automated that you get women on your list that everyone's like "...oh, ok. yay :/"

You've nailed the preference conversation conundrum of the ages. How do you go about closing the sale? You have to customize for each rushee. One, you have to love and you're going to be just the very best of friends for ever and ever. Another will respond to offers of leadership. One will respond to a businesslike approach of responsibilities and benefits. And some you just have to make understand that really, it's going to be ok even though you didn't get invited to pref at your dream chapter. Putting it down to numbers would seem crass, but I was told that because of my chapter's smaller size I would have opportunities for leadership sooner than in a larger chapter. They found what button to push!
Technically with RFM nobody should end up at your preference party that you don't already want, but with 150+ members in a chapter, there will definitely be a variation of opinion about every girl on the pledge list.
