Let me see if I can take a stab at it. And I think it best if everyone forgets or at least never ever again repeats how things worked pre RFM (since all it does is confuse people).
Forgetting the part about quota being adjusted to find the best matching rates, and way over-simplifying, quota is 50. Each chapter has 75 girls on their list. Rushee has attended 2 preference parties and put both on her bid list.
Scenario 1: Rushee is in sorority A's top 50 and has sorority A as her #1. Match!
Scenario 2: Rushee is # 55 on sorority A's list. Sorority A did not match with 5 of their top 50. Rushee has now bumped up to spot #50. They are #1 on her list. Yeah! Match.
Scenario 3: Rushee is #58 on Sorority A's list but they completed quota at #55 on their list. She will not be on sorority A's initial bid list. See below about QA's.
Scenario 4: continuing from 3, Rushee is in the top 50 on Sorority B's list. Match!
Scenario 5: continuing from 3, Rushee is #55 on Sorority B's list. They lose 5 girls to other chapters so she is now their #50. Match!
Scenario 6: continuing from 3 Rushee is #55 on Sorority B's list. They fill their quota at #54. She will not be on Sorority B's initial bid list. See below about QA's.
Quota additions: So rushee is not on either chapter's initial bid list. HOWEVER, she did follow the rules and maximized her options, putting both chapters on her list. Here's where it gets tricky (the only part so far that actually IS tricky). She will absolutely be placed on one or the other's list. Which one will be determined by the RFM specialist and The Machine. If one of these chapters is smaller than the other, likely she will go to that one. But the system might have been set to put her in her higher choice, sorority A, or it might have been set to put her in the chapter that ranked her higher, sorority B. My understanding is this process is determined (and completely secret) differently at different schools.

But the part that is absolutely critical to remember is that 1-both chapters absolutely wanted her on their list so the fact that she's a QA is completely irrelevant and 2-nobody in the chapter (save a very very few people) know exactly where the girl ended on the list so the sisters don't know that was a QA, 3-the method of deciding whether she gets A or B is a secret and no amount of prognosticating or begging is going to help you figure that out and 4-there is no way to game the system to ensure you get in A over B. Not maximizing your options won't work because if you weren't on their list when it was your turn, and you didn't maximize your options, you aren't eligible to be a QA. So you are better off putting both on your list AS LONG AS you are willing to take either chapter. If you put both but would rather have your eyes poked out than be in B, then you are better off not maximizing your options because then you are eligible for informal rushing later on. If you decline a bid, then you are not. It's all right there in that official contract you signed after you finished your pref parties.
