What is pref night?

[OneHeartOneWay]

On my campus pref night for the fraternities is essentially a semi-formal dance. It's at the end of rush week, and it's after the bids have been extended and accepted. Kind of a way for the fraternities to show off their pledges, I guess? Guys all have dates and usually go to a somewhat nice place for dinner, followed by a dance at a hotel or somewhere similar. Often, it's more of a "Greek mixer"; lots of blind dates where the older brothers and sorority women find dates for their new members.

OK, to clear something up.

If fraternities are tabling in plain sight with other organizations, they CANNOT be called "underground." They may not be recognized by the IFC/the school, but they most likely are recognized by their national headquarters. Real underground fraternities are not recognized by the school OR their HQ and recruit and operate in secret (hence the name).

Sometimes groups aren't recognized by the school for stupid and bogus reasons. I wouldn't rule them out. I would ask if they are working toward becoming re-recognized. Although...if they're allowed to table at a school event, that kind of doesn't make any sense.

I have never heard of a fraternity pref night.
