No, it doesn't work that way. Bid matching is computerized. At this point, the PNMs rank actually is considered more...until the sorority fills up. The pnm is given her first choice as soon as she comes up on their list. If they fill before her name comes up on the list, the she will match with her second choice...unless her second choice fills before her name comes up. IF the pnm matches with her third choice, it is not because the third group somehow blocked her from going to her top two, it's because the top two didn't want her as much as they did the woman that matched to their groups. Sometimes it is as simple as they just don't like you that much, unfortunately. The upside is, the pnm has a bid! The third group wants the pnm and will offer her a great sisterhood.

Oh honestly! Please quit listening to stupid people. It makes girls and their obsessive moms feel better to say...."My little Petunia would have gotten her first choice, Upper Upper Crustas, if only the Tri Losers hadn't ranked her higher and spoiled her chances at a perfect life!"
Just take a breath. Your helicopter blades are starting to rev and you don't want to go there. Good luck to the daughters and actives!

Oh please! Get a grip. It's not like it's whether or not she'll get the only available heart for a transplant! She'll get a bid. How she deals with the one she gets is an idication of the kind of person she is. That's far more important than whether the computer places you with your first or third choice.

This made me gag.
Every house on this campus is amazing and rush is very competitive. Your daughter is lucky to have a bid in the first place. Any bid means she has had a successful recruitment.
Like some PPs have said, if she can't make the best of whatever she ends up with, that is a reflection on your daughter. And if you can't be okay with whatever happens as long as your daughter is in an environment where she will be able to be happy and grow (which is any sorority at Ole Miss)...well then I have no words.
Stop obsessing and trust the process. Your daughter will end up where she is meant to, and that's all anyone can hope for.

We were trying not to obsess and I'm sorry if you feel my question or concern was inappropriate. I was sitting at lunch with my OOS, no-legacy daughter where 2 friends were telling her that. She was beyond stressed - she wanted it so badly. I trusted the system and keep telling her but I knew how GC worked too: that the wonderful ladies and gents here would quickly set things straight and they did. I showed the answers to DD and told her to please shut her ears and trust in the system. She saw plenty of things that upset her this week -- friends dropped and drop out, getting knocks, she was frazzled. She was given 3 great options and all 9+ options at ole miss are great. She knows that, she believes that and so do I. But she is 18 yrs old and had a preference.
That said, I want to thank all of you here for the information, advice and support. I am so glad I found this site. You were so right about this works and what to expect. I was right more times that I can count when discussing things with other moms. And that was because of the information here. Most of all I kept telling them "it will work out as it should" and "everyone will be where they truly belong".
That's it. I'm done -- until the next daughter, that is.

It's amazing how quiet it is online! I feel like everywhere else, pictures are posted or tweeted right and left. I am doing some serious stalking to find any pictures!

Haven't the young ladies at the University of Mississippi always kept low, polite profiles on Bid Day? Or at least low excitement levels. Last year, it seemed that way.

Honestly I can't remember. It just seems strange compared to other campuses I've looked at this year. Definitely not complaining and I have been very happy with the amount of private accounts I have found.
