Should you make it to Preference DAy, you will be invited to attend the Pref parties of 3 chapters who have invited you back based on previous days.

You attend them, then you rank them in order of which you would most prefer to receive a bid from.

At the same time, chapters rank PNMs who attended their parties.

You submit your rankings, the chapters submit their lists, and a computer program matches you with one of the 3 chapters you ranked for Pref.

Ex: if you are invited to ABC, DEF, and XYZ for Pref, you will submit a final ranking depending on how you feel about each chapter after Pref.

So you might rank:

1. ABC
2. DEF
3. XYZ

Then these chapter submit lists of PNMs.

The computer takes your first choice and tries to find you on their list. If it reaches your name before ABC hits quota (and cannot take anymore girls) then you get a bid to ABC.

However, if ABC is full before the comp gets to your name, you were too low on their list. It then moves on and tries to place you with DEF.

If the comp reaches your name on DEF's list before they reach quota, you get a bid to DEF.
