Like ABC has 40 at pref, all with 2 prefs, and they could go to either of 2 places but XYZ has 40 at pref and 20 only went to one party. It seems like XYZ could end up with a much bigger group of pledges than the others could.

let me explain with last year's stats. we have 5 chapters and quota was 31. of course, there is a whole long formula to figure it out, so there were more than 155 girls still in recruitment when it was set. chapter A gave 45 bids, B - 43, C - 41, D - 35, E - 17. the chapters have to list single-party girls on their a-list (cause a chapter has to take each girl and the girl has to receive a bid from a chapter she preffed). then they rank the rest of the pref attendees. if the girls rank A as their first choice (no suiciding - have to rank both) and they are high on the chapters list whether a or b, they are likely to go to that chapter. but its a give and take cause a chapter may want a certain girl more than the other chapter, but because of her place on the ranked list, she may go to the second chapter.
is this kinda making sense?
