They DO NOT take someone lower on the list for having two houses. That is incorrect and not how the algorithm works. The sororities do not know or care if pnm SIP's, they simply rank their pnm's. The algorithm does the matching. Here's how it goes: After pref and everyone signs her card, quota is set. Pnm's rank their houses 1 & 2, or just list their 1 if they SIP, 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. The bid matching process for a house goes until they reach quota and then they are done. If you are high enough on your 1's bid list to match before they reach quota you will get a bid from them. If not and you SIP'd, you are out of the process and will not get a bid at all. If you have ranked both your houses and are not high enough on your number 1's bid list to match with them before they reach quota, the algorithm will then 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 a bid from them. If you aren't high enough to match there either, you will be placed as a quota addition to either house. The algorithm will try to place you with your 1, but will also consider your place on both bid lists and the number of quota additions to place. This is how you are guaranteed a bid if you rank both houses. But no quota additions for SIP, that's one and done with no guarantee of a bid. If you only have one house at pref and put them on your card you will get that bid.
