Say Suzie Q is our #1 girl. If she put us first on her bid card-she's ours. If she put Phi Mu first and Phi Mu put her first too, she goes Phi Mu. If we put her on the first list and Phi Mu put her on the second list, but Suzie put Phi Mu first-she goes Phi Mu. We try to give the Rushee's their first choices if they are on the sororities first or second list. If a girl is third list to everyone, we bid match her later.-we set quota low enough for everyone to take quota. So the girls are added later to the best match possible. Like I said, we just try to match people best we can. But if you invite someone to pref, you are accepting the possibility that girl may become your sister.

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong, but in the italicized part, Suzie only goes Phi Mu on a second round of matching.
First round of bid matching: all the pnm's first choices are tried to match to the first list.
Second round: Those who have not yet made quota try to match pnm's first choices to second lists.
Third round: Pnm's second choices are matched to lists (first or second)
Fourth round: If there is someone who has not yet received a bid from her preferred choices, and if everyone's as matched as possible, a chapter who has reached quota but not total can bid up to 10% over quota.
At least, that's how we did it. A computer is good up until that last part - then you really do need the human touch of not wanting to turn someone away from the greek system.
