Every chapter is going to order their bid list differently. Some chapters have a huge “to do” about ordering the bid list after Pref parties, and will be pushing for certain PNM’s to be on the top list based on Pref convos. Other chapters will have legacy policies that where dictate certain groups of PNM’s sit on the list (national legacies, chapter legacies, in house cousins who aren’t technically legacies but are family, etc). Other chapters will just take the # of votes from all week & order the bid list from highest vote to lowest. Bottom line - it’s all out of your control!! Remember, if you get invited to Pref, you are going on the bid list somewhere: they know you could become a member & they want you to be a member if the bid matching works out that way. It can never hurt to tell your #1 they’re your top choice, but please please don’t tell your second pick that they aren’t your first choice. It’s just rude. Around 85% of PNM’s get their first choice but that still means you have about a 1 in 6 chance of getting your 2nd choice.
