This is finally your last day of Formal Recruitment! Not long after this round you'll find out if you got a bid. Following the pattern I mentioned in my last post, this round is much more serious than the previous two. During Preference, or Pref, you will talk with another member of the chapter and there's a good chance it'll be someone you already talked to during recruitment. Most Preference rounds also include a ceremony in which women talk about what their chapter means to them, this is a very emotional experience and it's possible you'll notice some of the girls crying. It's also possible that you will cry, it's not uncommon for potential new members to become emotional during Preference, especially during the ceremony at their first choice house.
I suggest that you look very nice today. It's ideal to wear a dress, heels, and jewelry. If you aren't comfortable in heels feel free to wear nice flats but I suggest avoiding sandals. Below are some examples of outfits, you may notice all of them are colorful outfits. This is because chapter women often wear black or navy dresses so wearing dark colored dresses may make you blend in with them. If you are most comfortable in a dark colored dress feel free to wear what you feel most confidant in.

I feel like the dressing up is one of the best parts about this whole process! It is nice to be able to dress formally and be able to show off your style to your possible new sorority. Your whole appearance is important when it comes to these events, so it is important to present yourself in the best light you can.
