At my chapter, the new members rank at least 8 older sisters, in order, who they would like, and the older sisters also fill out cards (although twins can be taken, so it works slightly differently for them). Then, the New Member Orientation Chair, the assistant NMOC, and the president match them.
However, I know of a chapter of Kappa Alpha Theta, either at my school or somewhere else in Florida (I can't remember) that does pull names out of a hat, then switch them, or something like this. It sounds strange to me, but whatever works for that chapter works.
