2. Sororities generally have more in common with one another
At least, the NPC seems to have pretty much standardized a lot of aspects of NPC sorority life on a national basis, so they have a lot of common ground that they can start topics about. Fraternities seem to have a lot more variation in style from place to place.

3. There's more to talk about with a sorority, rather than a fraternity
This is the "recruitment story" syndrome. It seems like many women have a long, drawn-out recruitment experience, with lots of ups and but a lot of IFC "recruitment stories" would go something like this:

Day 1:
Went to a few houses, didn't really like them.
Day 2:
Went to a few more houses, a couple were pretty cool.
Day 3:
Went back to the houses I liked, one of them offered me a bid, I took it. I guess I'm a pledge now.

There's just not the drama there, y'know?

LMAO.

You nailed it.
