Legacies are usually on chapter's first bid list, but that is not always the case. This can vary.

This is correct. The first list is in Alpha order and the second is ranked.

Hijack, but is this still true under RFM? Without the chapters knowing an exact quota, how could they know how many women should be on the first list?

Not sure about that. I'm from the old hand bid matching days. I loved doing hand bid matching when it was a small enough Panhellenic. You really knew where you stood at the end of the process.

Okay, that's what I thought. Now that the computer does it, there is no reason to alphabetize them anyway (or rather, the gain in processing speed is likely negligible).

Yes, still true. They give us an estimate, which is super low, of quota. Then they just pull from our ranked list when they try out different scenarios and end up with a higher quota.

Seconding this. They give you the lowest possible quota number from the quota range (so if they're estimating 10-14, they'll tell you to make your A list 10 women) and will just expand the A list into your B list if it winds up being higher.
