I still think there are ways this could work, but a come to Jesus with yourself is step one, and then admitting the cold hard facts to the expansion team is step 2.
We also don't know if the existing panhellenic thinks poorly of her for having quit. Maybe they do; maybe they don't. There are a LOT of variables here we aren't hearing. She hasn't said anything negative about her local (which is the right thing to do) but they could be awful, on the verge of folding, the campus laughing stocks, big ole hazers, etc. Then her primary problem would be why she hung around so long.
But I would say, more than the other non-affiliated girls, you better have some very clear answers for them. And that isn't the answers you think they want to hear, but the ACTUAL answers. You may have just a sort of vague idea in your head that something wasn't right and you're looking for something else. A "regular" PNM could say they want to join for "sisterhood" and "involvement" which are both way too vague to actually mean anything. You are going to have to spell out your exact history and goals.
Oh, and 33girl, all 4 members of the Beatles said the same thing. All 4 of them said in interviews that at one point or another they were going to quit because the other 3 were such good friends and they felt left out.
