I think carnation's last paragraph and hc's whole post are both absolutely correct. Especially for those girls who do give every sorority a closer look and keep an open mind.

However...as I've said before, a LOT of the time, it is girls saying "I'll pledge ABC or I won't pledge at all...I wouldn't lower myself to pledge XYZ." I have no pity for those people at all. Those people (and to a lesser degree, housing issues) are the reason we do have 400 person chapters - because they refuse to give a new chapter a chance.

Cutting quickly may create anti-greeks, but so does being strung along until pref and not getting a bid. The former at least makes things easier on the sororities.
