I don't know how much of this is Super Top Secret, but feel free to kindly tell me if I'm not allowed to know how this process goes until after I've been initiated.
What happens between the time all of the PNM's have submitted their preference cards and the next day when they receive their bids? What I
think happens is all the cards are collected and given to a team of people. They sort them first by what house each girl has listed first. At the same time, the chapters are putting together a list of girls they want to give bids to. This is where my brain goes a bunch of different ways.
- What if quota is 60 but 80 girls put ABC as their first choice?
- What about when girls don't get their first (or second) choice?
- 60 girls put down DEF as their first choice. DEF only wants 50 of those girls. I presume those 10 unwanted-by-DEF girls will get their second choice?
- And then there is poor Suicidal Suzy, who only puts down GHI but sadly GHI doesn't want to extend her a bid but JKL does...
If anyone has gone through this, or know how it goes could you please explain it to a curious PNM? I know I asked a lot of questions! Thanks a bunch
