I'm just going to use examples to make it easier to follow, and I'm only using two houses, even though I know most people pref 3. Say you pref KD and XO. You rank KD first and XO second. Sororities also have different lists. Say you're on XO's first list, but you're on KD's second list. When the computer does bid-matching, it will see that XO put you first, but you didn't put them first so it will move you to the bottom of their list to come back to later if you don't match to KD. By the time they get back to you, their quota is full so you don't get a bid from them. At the same time, KD fills up their quota from their first list before they get to you on their second list, so you don't get a bid from them either. So now you've been cross-cut and are left with no bid. It happens a decent amount, but not a ton. When this happens, humans go back, look at everyone who was cross cut and not bid-matched, and will sometimes allow a sorority to have "quota plus" which means they could let one of the houses take you, but that doesn't usually happen. You're eligible for a snap bid if this happens.
