<strong>Subject:</strong><br />Pref, Bid Matching, and Other Facts 1 of 4<br /><br /> Poster Message:
You have questions about pref and the final stages of how recruitment works, and there are some incorrect assumptions and misinformation out there, so here you go. These are real facts with some sound advice to help if you are feeling in the dark. PREF: All pnm's who are invited to a chapter's pref are on their ranked bid lists somewhere. There are no cuts after pref, just ranking and bid matching. During pref, take a good look around at the other pnm's who are there with you, because these are the girls who would mostly make up your new member class, and your new member class will make or break your entire sorority experience. These are the girls you are going to be closest with in your sorority; you will spend the most time with them, experience sorority life together, go through school as a group until graduation, and find your closest friend group among them that could last the rest of your life. Ask yourself if the majority of the other girls with you at pref are ones you feel some connection with and consider that in your final ranking. (The same thing goes for the guys; look around at the others rushing the same fraternities and accepting bids and make sure these are who you see yourself with before you accept a bid to a frat.) At pref, if you have a definite favorite chapter then you need to let them know. They can't read your mind and need to know your level of interest before their final ranking of you. Pref is the time to trust your gut and only your gut. This round is often a deal breaker for pnm's who may be on the fence about certain houses and helps them see something wonderful in a chapter they didn't before. Keep an open mind to finding your home at a house you might have discounted before. Do not decide based on the so-called tiers and rankings or what other people tell you. Pnm's, frat dudes, and especially this site do not know $hit and have their own personal agendas and misconceptions. This is your chance and you aren't getting it again so shut out the noise and do what's best for you when you do your final ranking.
