Some of the stereotypes I had heard before recruitment were just based on dumb nicknames that could be made with a chapter's letters. Of course, this was from my dumb [male] friend, so I didn't really pay too much attention.

However, I definitely got some distinct first impressions. At one chapter I visited, the members I talked to seemed completely braindead. Looking back, I think it was probably because they were poorly prepared for recruitment (i.e. not knowing what to say and not to say), plus, they probably said dumb things out of being nervous (I know I have!).

I definitely know that I ended up in the best chapter for me. However, out of 14 chapters at my alma mater, I still think that I would have fit in very well in 3 others besides Sigma Kappa. I think that where I was invited to preference (with the exception of one chapter) was pretty much where I would fit. I think that the members know better than the PNMs who fits where. Also, I am still very close with my SK family and sometimes I wonder who would be in my family and who my closest friends would have been if I joined a different chapter.
