There was a girl in my chapter that was all like "Oh, I didn't get a bid from XYZ top chapter because I was at the top of Sigma Kappa's list." Lies. You didn't get a bid from XYZ because you were at the bottom of their list and they made quota before they got to your name.

You are correct. Although the girl may not actually have been lying, because very few people actually understand bid matching.
On the campus where I advise a girl was matched as a quota addition to a house that was her 3rd choice. She also happened to be the very last PNM on the chapter's bid list. At a Panhellenic event early in the year I overheard her telling one of her pledge sisters that she got her third choice because she was first on their bid list. It was difficult not to say, "You got your third choice because all three matched to quota before they reached your name, then your top 2 also passed on you during quota additions, and your third choice was forced to take you because they had not maxed out on quota additions."
Wow, I'm mean.
