Also, the time till initiation is increasingly short - and as we've seen here, sometimes the amount of "real life" the NMs are exposed to is somewhat limited. Everything's great for 6 weeks and then boom - you HAVE to go to everything, you find out the chapter politics and it isn't Happy Pony Rainbow Land anymore.

That is definitely true...but do you think you have a better chance of figuring these things out in under a week? Giving NM orientation a chance gives you a much, much, much more realistic idea of a chapter than a few rush parties. As for the size of a group, sure large chapters should be easy for anyone to fit into, but even 30 girls can't be all exactly the same. You get that many women together, and the group will be diverse just because of the way each woman was raised. Assuming you know everything about every member of a group because you talked to three people during rush is RIDICULOUS!
