Bid Matching Explained After pref and everyone signs her card, quota is set and then here's how it goes: You have ranked your houses 1 & 2, and the sororities have ranked all their pnm's in order on their bid list. The algorithm starts at the top of a sorority's ranked list and tries to match with the pnm's who put them at 1. If you are high enough on your 1's bid list to match with them before they reach quota, you will get that bid. If you are not high enough to match before they reach quota, then the algorithm will try to match you with your 2. If you are high enough on their list to match with them before they reach quota you will get that bid. If you aren't high enough to match with either house, you will be placed as a quota addition. The algorithm will try to place you with your 1, but will also consider your place on both bid lists, the number of quota additions to place at those houses, and the relative sizes of the chapters. Quota Additions are what guarantees a bid if you rank both houses. If you SIP and you are not high enough on that one house's bid list to match before they reach quota, then you are out of the process and will not get a bid. No quota additions for SIP. If you only have one house at pref and put them on your card you will get that bid.
