The reason you rank all of your top choices #1 is because
1. You can only rank as many chapters #1 as there are parties to attend the next day. Example: On Pref night the next day, you can go to three parties. If you went to five parties the day before prefs, you rank the three you like best then the two others in order of how well you liked them. If all chapters invited you back, you only go to your top choices; the bottom two are cut from your list. (Some campuses, however, will allow chapters that you cut to invite you back the next day, and you may have to go back to maximize your options if you can't fill your party slots with your other invites.)
2. They don't need a tie-breaker between your top chapters since you will go to each of their parties if they ask you back. This also means that Panhellenic (PHC) won't have a room full of women agonizing on whether they want to rank ABC or DEF #1 when it doesn't matter anyway!
3. PHC needs a way to determine which chapters you would want to attend if you don't get all of your top choices. They substitute your lower choices in order of how they appear on your list.
4. In the end, they are doing exactly what you would do if they gave you all of the invites and asked you to decide which ones you wanted to attend. This way, however, PHC can determine who is going to each party the next day and let the chapters know who to expect in advance.
