I'll try to go in order lol.

Preference Night is the final night of Formal Recruitment. The chapters that invite you are seriously considering you for membership. It is a beautiful night where all the sororities appeal to you to join, and basically, it's how you decide to rank the groups.

At the end of the night, you will rank the sororities you were invited back to. Some girls rank only one, and that is called suiciding. It's considered bad by some, but either way, it should only be done if you decide you are only comfortable with ONE sorority, and you would be miserable with the other ones. If you suicide, that one sorority is the only one that you can possibly receive a bid from. If you rank more than one you are eligible for a bid from any one of those groups on your preference card. Depending on where you appear on bid lists, and the order in which you rank the sororities will determine who you receive a bid from.

I'm not going to even get into bid matching, because even though I've been a sister for nearly 3 years, it's still just so incredibly complex.
