I apologize if one of my earlier posts totally hijacked this thread, but...

Being from a group with a strong national/international presence could help in networking/finding out about job openings/finding a mentor in your field.

I agree with that sentiment... Being in a sorority can open many doors for you when it comes to job opportunities...
after college. I think where this topic started was with the supposed "tiers" that are talked about on certain campuses and how many girls choose to completely drop out of recruitment, because if they couldn't be an XYZ, it wasn't worth it.
What I was pointing out in my original post about this was that it's a shame that many of these girls don't realize is that in the long run, it's really NOT that important. College is about education first and foremost. Yes, socializing is an important aspect of college life, but getting into XYZ should not be your primary focus of why you are going to college in the first place.
If there weren't these tiered rankings that get talked about on certain campuses, many of the smaller chapters would have a chance to grow. They could really show the PNM's that although they might be a smaller chapter, they are wonderful girls who would make just as wonderful sisters (if not better in some cases)...however, these stereotypes are perpetuated not only by campus mythology but also by family members of the PNM's in some cases...
I'm sorry to have gotten way off track on this...It's been a slow day at work!
