Yes and no. Probably more yes than no. (Yes as in, I got my first choice)
I say this because "first choice" doesn't necessarily mean first choice on your preference card. Many PNMs get cut from a chapter that they considered their first choice before preference.
When I went through, I was enamored with one chapter and they cut me before preference. I did cry, I was upset, but I also got over it pretty quickly. After going to all of my preference parties, I knew I could find my home in any of the chapters that invited me back. I ranked Sigma Kappa first, so yes I did get my first choice and I was psyched to be there on bid day.

I was thinking "first choice from among your pref. parties" - sorry for any confusion. But I guess it works either way - however you wish to interpret it.

I answered yes because at the time of filling out our pref cards, I wasn't stuck on trying to get another chance with the chapter that had cut me.

Do you want non-formal recruitment girls to answer? I mean, I was a COB girl so I only rushed one sorority, and I got a bid. So technically, I got my first choice, lol.

Sure - the more the merrier. If you want to explain a bit, do. I thought it would be interesting for pnms to see the range of experiences we've had.
eta - As of now, it's 50/50 between first choice and non-first choice but it worked out GREAT.

Same here. We were a local at the time that I went through COB but I received a bid and started jumping up and down.  We then affiliated with ASA so I'm a proud founder of my chapter.

Ditto here - I was in love with with a chapter (and only slightly less enamored with another) before pref, but neither invited me back for pref. So while I did get my first choice at pref, it wasn't necessarily my first choice overall. Though of course now I'm enamored with choice 
And I voted same as you VP
