Yes, it's possible that could happen, theoretically. In your example, if you go from 11 houses to 4 after first round, you would put all 4 of them down to return to for 2nd round because there are 5 possible slots, and with only 4 houses you aren't in a position to eliminate any, so you aren't dropping houses if there is still room on your schedule. After you visit those 4, the pref round is only 2 possible houses, so you would rank your top two and bottom 2 and see what you get back for pref. What happens when a sorority releases a pnm, is her ranks of them no longer matter because they are removed from her options. The algorithm then considers the invitations the pnm does have left for the next round, and only if there are more invitations than the max for that round will the algorithm eliminate based on her ranks to get her down to the max allowed. The algorithm always gives you as many houses back as possible for the best chance of getting a bid.
