Please don't give up hope... you will notice that pref parties are more intimate and serious than the other rounds. You will probably start to see what the organization truly stands for. During my recruitment at each party we had a pref "date" which was a sorority member that we had gotten to know during the week, and this one girl rushed us the entire time. In AOII, my pref date had written me a lovely note which had said how much she had enjoyed getting to know me and hoped that I felt the same way about them. Then they had a small ceremony which completely put me in tears, it was so touching. I think you will really like pref parties, PLEASE keep an OPEN mind. I agree with the other comments made, recruitment IS a big show but if you could see yourself being friends with the other girls in other situations, why not give it a chance?
As always, FOLLOW YOUR HEART.....
