I don't know if any campuses do this anymore, but some tell you all of your bids (basically you get 2 or 3 cards) and then you pick. However, that's really uncommon. Most people who go to a pref party are somewhere on that chapters bid list (saying most because all chapters work differently) but wouldn't necessarily receive a bid depending on where they were on the list.

So I don't really have a good answer.
