About bids: On pref night, the last night of recruitment, you will attend two (...or maybe just one) preference ceremony. Afterwards, you fill out a card ranking both houses - but just because you put, say, Pi Phi over AEPhi (I'm not in either of those houses) doesn't mean that you will get Pi Phi (to be honest, it doesn't even mean you'll get a bid). The sororities compile a list ranking all of the girls that attended their preference ceremony, from 1 to whatever. In a perfect world, if quota was set at 70, your sorority would get the girls ranked 1-70 on their list. But it doesn't work like that, because you attend two houses and both houses have ranked you. So back to the Pi Phi vs AEPhi example: if you put Pi Phi first, Pi Phi put you at 25 on their list and AEPhi put you at 20, you would receive a bid from AEPhi. (That may seem unfair, but it's great because you're going to a house that really, really wants you as a member). The algorithm prints out the bid sheet, giving the sorority the girls they ranked highest (unless another house ranked them higher), until the list equals the quota number. All girls lower down on the list are dropped.
