It depends. Roommates who have known each other for years and were already best friends coming into college will be more tempted to pledge the same house. There's comfort in what you know, so these girls aren't looking to split up and follow different paths. This is seen a lot with instate girls and another factor that drives them to pledge the same house is that they probably already have a friend group of actives in a few houses. So with instate girls, it's a cycle - they just pledge where their friends are. But for OOS girls who met their roommate just a few months before rush or whatever, these girls are more likely to think independently. For the most part, OOS girls aren't as "self conscious" of where they pledge because they don't have groups of friends expecting them to go a certain house... And if two OOS roommates do end up in the same house, it's usually just a happy coincidence. And to answer your comment about houses only giving a bid to a roommate to get a more desired PNM - You really don't see that... However, I know this year there's a group of 4 incoming PNMs who are all rooming together and I know a few NR houses are really pushing hard for all of them if you care to know.
