In order to be guaranteed a bid, you must do two things: 1. Attend all the pref parties you are invited to. 2. List all the sororities you attended a pref party for on your final ranking. The guaranteed a bid thing means you're guaranteed a bid to one of the sororities you attend a pref for, but it might be your second or third choice. Here is an example on how that works: You list the three sororities you preffed: #1 A #2 B #3 C Let's say all three of those sororities have a quota of 55. (Also to simplify things, we're going to assume all three sororities match to their top 55 choices. The computer will first try to match you with A. If you were #60 on A's list, the computer will then try to match you with B. But you were #64 on B's list, so it tries to match you to C. But you're #57 on C's list. Under the old system you would be released and not receive a bid at all. Under this new system, since you maximized your options, the computer will go back and add you to one of your three choices as a quota addition. The program tries to match you to your top choice, but also looks at balancing the new member numbers, so for instance it will try to add you to A or B, but if they already have 10 other quota additions and C only has two, you may be assigned to C. This system is only valid if you list all the sororities you attend a pref for. If you only ranked A and B then left C off, you would not receive a bid at all since you made yourself ineligible for quota additions.
