as has been noted .. not necessarily .. if a PNM that is on your first bid list put your chapter second, but the chapter she placed first filled to quota before reaching her name on their bid list .. (ie she was on their second bid list somewhere).. then she would match to your chapter and receive your bid.

it all depends on the order of your bid list, the order of other chapter's bid lists and the order the PNMs rank chapters.

That's what I was missing -- I knew it couldn't be that simple. Thanks to everyone who replied!

(that people figured out bidlists before there were computers continues to amaze me )

Quota additions as explained to me are girls that fully participate in recruitment, but are not matched to any sorority. So if I put ABC as my first choice and XYZ as my second choice (I went to both pref parties) and fall to low on both of ABC's and XYZ's list then I go to the Chapter with the lowest numbers. So if ABC has 100 members and XYZ has 95 members I go to XYZ even if it is my second choice.

I have never done hand bid matching, but the Advisor I work with has and she said it was very weird and took a long time. She said the only thing that was cool about it was that you knew where every one was going.

I wouldn't say it was weird, but it took all night! Of course, we had 18 chapters at our school, it is obviously why.

Yes, you knew where everyone was going and which PNMs were everyone's Rush Crush. But, everyone knew how it really worked.

Ours didn't take that long, but we only had 4 chapters. It was through hand matching that I came to fully understand the process. I loved it! It was so exciting to say "Match!"

I will be hand bid matching one week from tonight. Our campus only has 4 chapters and about 40-50 PNMs. It takes about 40-60 minutes.
