I don't think that ANYONE truly knows who "slipped through"-- the folks in the background only know these women on paper, and the ones on the front lines only know ladies from conversations. A chapter is made up of women from diverse backgrounds, but more often than not there is a certain homogenized look-- a preference for certain clothing brands, the slang you use, etc... sometimes there are members who stand out from this... and those are suspected of "slipping through the cracks." It's not a fair assumption, but most every chapter suspects this phenomenon... and given that most chapters -if not all - destroy recruitment stats and records post-recruitment, no one knows her standing on the bid lists... and we should just accept "you're here, you were wanted and you are our sister." But you can't stop people from second-guessing themselves and you can't stop idle speculation and gossip-- such is life.
