But the girls going through at Auburn aren't a representative sample of young women, or even young women at Auburn. They're a group of people who self-selected to be part of this system. For the most part they have 3.5+ GPA coming out of high school and a lot of activities. Because they've heard how competitive recruitment is, they will be presenting themselves physically as well as they can with great clothes, hair, etc.
Sure on bid day, some girls with bids won't be any "better" than some girls who got cut or dropped out. But the girls who got bids may have known young women in the groups before recruitment even started, have more influential home town connections, better recs, whatever. They may have been picked up and shown around by members who were better at drawing them out and held more positive influence in the group. Who knows?
Don't drive yourself crazy with the junk you can't control.
It's an SEC recruitment. It is what it is.
