I think it's normal when you go into recruitment as a sophomore or junior to have preferences, or chapters that intrigue you one way or another. Perhaps something about the sorority resonates with you, or you like their colors or mascot, or you know (or have seen) girls from the chapter walking around campus, and they appeal to you. Maybe you like the look of their house, or you've heard good things about them.
While it's normal to have these preferences, they probably won't impact your recruitment all that much. You will form impressions of the chapters as you go through the rounds, and they will likewise be forming impressions of you. Your preferred chapters may end up high on your list, or not. Likewise you may end up on their invite lists, or not. It is best to be prepared for some disappointments along the way. It is also common to change your mind (often for the better) about a chapter as you continue the process.
Your best chances for a successful recruitment come if you realize that the chapter that is the best fit for you may be one of which you have little or no knowledge at present. That's why you'll keep hearing the excellent advice, "keep an open mind." You don't want to get so emotionally attached to your favorites that you miss the hidden gems along the way.
