not if you rank both

Sororities only invite pnm's to pref that they would like to bid, so if you are invited to pref you are on the bid list somewhere. Sororities submit their final ranked bid lists after pref. Pnm's who rank both houses are guaranteed a bid through Quota Plus, which places these pnm's with one of their pref houses even though it would put a house over quota. After pref and everyone signs her card, quota is set and the bid matching process begins. 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 necessary, the algorithm makes another pass down the bid list and tries to match with the pnm's who put them at 2. The bid matching process for a house goes until they reach quota. As soon as a house reaches quota 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, the algorithm will try to match you with your 2. If you are high enough on your 2's bid list to match with them before they reach quota you will get a bid from them. If you aren't high enough to match with them either, you will be 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, the number of quota additions to place, and the membership size of the chapters. This is how you are guaranteed a bid if you rank both houses. If you SIP and you are not high enough on that single house's bid list to match before they reach quota, you are out of the process and will not get a bid. No quota additions for SIP.
