Thanks for all the responses to my post... I am getting more confused by the second here. I do understand what Az-AlphaXi and lyrelyre posted... maybe they're correct. The thing is just getting confusing to me. I guess the part that confuses me the most is when you move past the first bid lists, what happens. Say a chapter has 25 spaces left after exhausting their first bid list. Any girl that ranked them #1 and is on their list from 101-125 would be an automatic match, I assume. Any girl that ranked them #2 and for whose first choice house is already full would be an automatic match, I assume.
So the question is... Let's assume that the PNM in question, who ranked sorority B #2, was #126 on their bid list. Sorority B has filled 24 of their 25 remaining places with girls who ranked them #1, but were not on their first bid list. There's one spot in Sorority B left.
So who would match to Sorority B first? The PNM in question, who was #126 on their list and ranked them second, or another PNM, who was #127 on their list and ranked them first?
I agree, though, that there's no use thinking strategically when ranking chapters. Rank them how you really feel about them. There's also not much point second-guessing your rankings... As the various explanations demonstrate, you'll never really know what happened during your bid matching, and it's too complicated to really "out-think" the matching process. You should follow your heart.
But it's fun for others of us to obsess about this crap. LOL
