No. If you have two houses left on pref you will get one of them. If you have one house left you will get a bid to that house

No! It's a thing of the past thanks to Quota Plus. In the old days of bid matching, some girls who attended pref still didn't get a bid, even though they would have been on both houses' bid lists somewhere, because they were mismatched, or cross cut. A girl would rank her houses #1 and #2, but when her #2 house had her on their first list and her #1 house had her on their second list, each house was likely to reach quota before either of them matched to her. And when a house reached quota they were done and could not take anyone else. So she was shut out of a bid at both and it was so sad because most times she would have wanted either house and obviously both houses wanted her. Now, with Quota Plus, this still happens but a pnm is guaranteed a bid if they rank both houses, even when it puts a house over quota! Yay! The chapter membership has no idea who is a quota addition, or how a pnm ranked them, and nor do the pnm's. It's a bid! If you SIP (suicide) and don't rank that second house on your card, you are NOT eligible to be a quota addition and if you don't match with that one house you aren't getting a bid. If you only have one invitation to pref and you attend and put that house on your card, you are getting that bid, and can be stress free! Whoo!

TLDR; rank both houses and get a bid! No more cross cutting!

no crosscutting for pref, but lots of cross cutting before pref. there are many pmns who are on several lists up to this point. there are going to be a lot of really disappointed girls in the morning end up with their fourth and fifth ranked houses.

That is NOT cross cutting. Not the same thing at all. The sororities are doing the cutting, period. There are a handful, just a handful, of highly desired pnm's that are being fought over by the chapters, and they are the only ones who have the luxury of dropping houses. Not similar to cross cutting in the least.

No cross cuts. Only cuts if you have two houses at pref and only put down one and that house doesn’t choose you. Then you have no bid. Always rank #1 then #2.
