And, I do think I hit a nerve or you wouldn't have felt the need to strike back personally.
It isn't elitism. It's careful selection of membership. That is a hallmark of sororities. They are not designed to be all-inclusive. If that was the intention of our founders, why have a private ritual? Why go through a recruitment process? Take anyone, willy-nilly, or have an open ritual. The reason we don't do that is because not anyone can or should be able to join.

Advise at a collegiate recruitment next year. Maybe that will help you understand.
