While I don't have a copy of the book in front of me -- the passage goes something like this:

"My mama was a Chi O, my aunts were all Chi Os and my cousins are all Chi Os. If I don't get a bid from Chi O...I'll just die. I'll have to move to Pittsburgh!"

My apologies to the nice people of Pittsburgh and to all the fine sororities at Ole Miss, but my point is -- some families DO take it very seriously.
