Dunno, but the software that I'm familiar with went through a LOT of de-bugging years.
What we use does at least this, and probably more that I don't know about:
PNMs register and pay
PNMs submit photos
Sorts info with multiple parameters
Accessible in various ways by Panhel officers, sorority officers and alumnae advisors, depending on permissions you are given at different levels
Manages and melds lists of preferences from sororities and PNMs (close to 1,500 at Alabama last year)
Does the preference list thing every day
Figures return percentages allowed to each sorority each day
Available 24/7 from the first day of registration through at least a couple of weeks after recruitment ends

Hey, I'm just an English major; my head is already spinning!
