The basics are .. a pnms bid choice is held and attempts are made to match it with her first choice until her first choice hits quota. At that point the matching process moves to her second choice and attempts a match. If the pnm is on the first bid list of her second choice then its a match, if not her card is held until they to hit quota, at which time the process is repeated for her third choice. If all three hit quota before a match is made, then (if and only if she has maximized her options) she is considered for quota addition, with again preference going to her preferences but consideration also give to size of the chapters and size of new member class.
That's the long winded way of saying, she was far enough down on her first choice's second bid list that they made quota before they got to her name and was far enough up on her second's bid list, either starting on the first bid list or moving there when others moved off, that she matched to her second choice.
