*Because it's that time of year again, I have to add this precaution to PNMs.

If you attend more than one chapter's Preference (final round) party, sometimes you might feel stronger about one than you do others, but take this advice:

Think really hard and talk to your recruitment counselor before you make the decision to only list ONE chapter on your final ranking card (what's known as Intentional Single Preference or "suicide").

When you only list ONE chapter, you significantly decrease your chances of getting a bid. You are basically saying that you are SO SURE that this one chapter is going to bid you, that you don't even need to list the others. This is incredibly risky, since you can't guarantee that.

If you list ALL of the chapters you attended, chances are VERY good that you will get a bid on bid day. Listing all chapters you pref maximizes your options and gives you more than one chance to be placed in a chapter.

If you only list one, you basically need to be 100% sure that this sorority is going to give you a bid. If they don't-- you'll get the dreaded phone call from your Rho Chi/Rho Gamma letting you know not to bother showing up for bid day because "you were not placed".
