Ranking Chapters

I am wondering about how a PNM should go about choosing a chapter to visit or accept an invite from. I understand that some houses you feel more drawn to and there are others where you have strong feelings of dislike.

Example:
After the first open house, you are required to rank houses. Let us say there are six. You are allowed to give four houses a number one spot and two other houses a number two spot. After visiting six houses, you love one like two and are unsure of three.

My question:
How would you go about choosing which ones to give a number two and which to give a number one?

I'd go for definitely putting the one you love and the two you like as #1, then (honestly?) pick one of the remaining three. Use whatever system you like - try not to be superficial about it but if that works for you, then it works for you. Don't use tent talk - go more along the lines of your personal values. Is one chapter head and shoulders friendlier than the others? Or do you see more members of one in your classes? I'm not saying these are good reasons to JOIN a chapter, but for ranking purposes... go on what you have to go on.
