My advice is to appeal to your chapter for an excused absence but make it clear that you'll pay whatever fine (or however they deal) for missing Pref and Bid Day.
Just my opinion.

I went to the USNA ring dance years ago with a good friend, and while I love my sorority sisters, there's no way I would have missed that dance!
OP, I understand your chapter may have consequences for missing part of recruitment, but IMO, it would be worth it. To attend a dance like that is a once in a lifetime opportunity.
It was such an amazing event.
Just my $.02.
