I don't think new members are the authority to be asking, because most nms are new to the process themselves.
There are a ton of people on here who are super knowledgeable about bid matching, but here's a general idea of how it goes:
If you attend a pref party, you ARE on their bid list. Everyone is. It's a matter of WHERE you are on their list.
If Second Choice Sorority put you as their #1 and First Choice Sorority put you farther down on their list, if First Choice already matches quota before they get to your name on the list, you go with Second Choice since you were so high up on their list and you listed them on your bid card.
Second Choice didn't do anything sneaky to get you. They can't move people's names around. You were at the top of their list because they wanted you.
