As crazy as this sounds, yes, some girls do chose the color of their pref dresses based on which sorority they are hoping to receive a bid from. This practice is especially popular with in state girls who already have a good idea what house they will likely get a bid from. (Then they cross their fingers and say a prayer and hope for the best)
Best advice, mom to mom, buy your daughter a little black dress or perhaps a navy one as mentioned earlier. A Little Black Dress is the best investment as she will likely attend many formals where the LBD will come in handy. My daughter wore her pref dress to three fraternity formals and one of her sororities date parties. Because it was nice and basic, nobody could really tell she was wearing the same dress over and over again. She just changed her shoes and jewelry. You can't do that with a bold color dress!
Save the color dress for skit parties and wear a neutral color to pref. it's better safe than sorry.
