either a two- or three-Preference event schedule.

• Youmay choose to list any sororitywhose preference (last) event you attended and fromwhomyou are
willing to accept an invitation to membership (a bid).

join any other NPC group during formal recruitment should you not be placed with your single (only)

fraternity/sorority that you have listed.

cannot be altered or changed.
