No if you only listed one house at pref it will not affect list placement but you won't qualify as a quota addition if your loner on the list than their quota. It also might affect snap bidding opportunities but if you haven't received a call you should be ok.

No. It will not place you lower on the bid list as the chapters don’t know how you ranked your Pref card.

However- suicide means a big chance of not getting a bid at all. You lose out on the potential to get your #1 as a Quota Addition by not maximizing your options. If both your Pref houses are at Quota by the time your name comes up on either list AND you maximized your options, you will be added to your #1 choice as a QA (unless the chapters are very different in size and then you would more likely be added to the smaller chapter regardless of your Pref ranking).

It does not change how the houses rank you, it does change how you get a bid. Say quota is 100, if you are in your favorite houses top 100 girls (aka the first picks) you will still get a bid. If you are 101, you will not get a bid. Even if 50 of the houses top 100 girls go a different direction you will still not get a bid. Basically suiciding is betting you are one of that houses #1 picks, effectively an all or nothing strategy.

Highly do not recommend.
