The way the bid lists work is as follows:
1. Quota is determined by taking the number of returning rushees (Preference Party, preferably) and dividing it by the number of houses on campus.
2. A chapter's first bid list will have all the names in alphabetical order. There is no ranking.
3. A chapter's second list (or second and third) will have the members ranked in order of preference based on whatever standard of selection that chapter uses.
4. Advisors and Greek Life office officials conduct the bid matching, either by hand or by computer.
5. The lists are kept on-hand for a few weeks in case of any disputes and most are destroyed, to the best of my knowledge.
I've posted some lenghty messages regarding the ins and outs of bid matching itself. They can be found using the search feature.
