That sucks that she wasn't able to join the chapter that was a better fit. But I know how friends can influence a decision. I would definitely be upset.
And just to make it clear in case some are reading into it, it's not that I'm looking to join the "top" chapter on campus...unless it was a fit of course
It's just that, when someone mentions a top-tier school (like...Harvard) vs. a low-tier school (Party U), I know what type of differences there would be (graduation rates, partying, admissions, etc...). With sororities, it seems like there are so many great people (in most cases) that it'd be hard to say one chapter is better than another.
