My theory is that each year, the initiation changes. If Yang had known, she definitely would have told Ruby. I also think Tai and Qrow would have told both of them so they would be prepared. So if there were partner match-ups, I don't think they were made by eye contact.

The first love Tai lost was Raven because she left the family after they had Yang. I don't think losing Summer and Raven has anything to do with the partner match ups they had when they came to Beacon so many years before Tai and Raven had Yang. The method? I thought it was just the objects they are required to retrieve that change every year (i.e. the chesspieces)... I could be wrong...
