It comes down to this - we're a selective house, and we can't let them in just because one person wants them in, that's not being selective. People don't see the faults with their own friends, other people can. The fact that they're friends with my brother doesn't qualify them to be my brother.
So true. I see it too often in sorority rush. One member's best friend since forever and everyone else who knows/met the pnm can't stand her. The active takes it as a personal insult. She can't see that if we did cave to her pressure/drama and extend the pnm a bid, that pnm would never be happy. Nobody can stand the girl and her life would be miserable. Is that what you want for your friend? The pnm's much better off finding another group where she fits in with many more people than just the 1.
