So, PNM A may be ABC's #1 snap bid, but #3 on DEF's list. But, PNM A wanted DEF more than ABC, so would have to wait until DEF's #1 and #2 declined, but those 2 may have wanted ABC, who was waiting on PNM A to decide. Yes, it was as confusing as it sounds! (Because you can't really have an inexperienced Greek Life advisor call and say tactfully, "you have a bid right now from ABC, and you're on DEF's list but not as high and they want other girls more than they want you, so if those girls turn them down then you may have a bid to DEF…")
Been there, done that, same campus. And it was just like you described!
