"Pref Party" is short for Preference Party. On most campuses during formal recruitment Preference is the last round of parties. There are usually two or three Preference Parties depending on the campus.
Preference night is a very special night of recruitment. It is a time when the PNM's make a decision about how they want to rank where they want to pledge (out of whose Pref parties they attended) and the chapters make similar decisions. On a lot of campuses the collegiate panhellenic has rules that require all women who attend Preference Parties to be matched to one of the groups whose parties she attends. This is to prevent what are otherwise known as cross-cuts. If you go through formal recruitment your recruitment counselor or greek advisor can answer any questions you might have about how Preference works on your individual campus.
There are various threads that discuss Preference, how many parties campuses should have and cross-cuts in the rush forum. You should check out the different threads on rush and feel free to PM me if you have any questions.
