As far as I know Ms. Chicago never joined a house. Did she rush again as a sophomore? No, I would have seen her. At that time, at SC it was unusual to rush as a junior. And while sororities were strong at SC even then, it wasn't imperative for a girl like her to have joined. (I mean "like her" in the sense that her family had a strong Greek/waspy tradition to uphold. She, and her family I guess, could have excused her lack of affiliation by saying that Ms. Chicago didn't want to join. I don't know what they did.) I agree with you 1000% about joining a "second tier" house is better than nothing if you want to join in the first place. But some people don't look at this or life like that. It's all or nothing, and I'll take my marbles and go home. And, in hindsight, it is the quality of the people you are friends with and not the superficial stuff that determine how a friendship(s) endure.
