Lots of good points.
This is what I want all PNMs to know: Have enough confidence in yourself to realize YOU could be the one NM to start the pendulum swinging in the other direction if the "best" GLO releases you and you are offered a bid from another GLO. We've all heard that it only takes one or two pledge classes to make or break a GLO and a lot of us have firsthand knowledge of this, whether in our own or another GLO. Whatever GLO you join, put your heart and soul into it. Your enthusiasm will make a difference.
I know someone who joined a smaller GLO while a supposed friend of hers joined a larger one that they both were interested in. They both wanted leadership opportunities, but my friend got them in spades while the other girl was just another face in the crowd. She resented my friend, and they grew apart. My friend is so glad now that she gave her GLO a chance--what opportunities she would have lost by pining away for a GLO that released her instead of joining the one she did!
Yes, I realize there are times when joining a 2nd, 3rd, or more choice is just not going to work out . . . but sometimes it does.
