Preference is a time to talk one on one with a potential. The key is to make sure that the girl you are preffing is someone that you have actually carried on a conversation with during rush and would feel comfortable talking to alone for the duration of the preference ceremony. When talking to her, remember to be real. Share your own experiences with her, ask her what she's looking for in a sorority, and do NOT ask her where she wants to go. Some potentials will offer up that information on their own, but others may feel as though they are being pressured to say they are going your way. Also, don't be afraid to let the conversation stray from sorority. She needs to feel as though you want her as your friend, not just as your sister. By getting to know each other, it makes her feel more comfortable to open up about the whole sorority topic.
