[Stef the Pef]

Amen on the part about giving pref a shot. What else are you going to do during that time? Pref ceremonies are powerful and are great ways to know whether or not you really "fit" with that chapter or not. If it feels right, fill out a pref card, but if not, don't. I didn't felt like the chapter I preffed was the one for me, but lo and behold, I was snapped up by the right chapter the next day. I'm not going to lie, though, that was one of the toughest decisions I ever made, but it's something you just "know" if you have to make it. If someone's interested in you, they'll let you know if they want you after formal recruitment's over. If not, try COR or colonizing events. Those are less formal and great ways to really get to know a chapter once formal recruitment is done. Just don't write off chapters before going to pref, though! They may win your heart tonight. Good luck!
