ITA with your comments, but someone who is 17 or 18 may have a difficult time clearly seeing, understanding, and processing this point.^^
Also, back in my days, depending what area you may have been from before entering college/university makes a huge difference on what you know about Greek Life. I was a very openminded person, but I was made aware of only 2 or 3 sororities on whole. It was like the remainder was all a blank.
I was told numerous reasons why I should pledge one of the three I knew about. A young person may get that in their head and without alot of time to truly learn all about Greek Life it is not so simple. I was also never taught Greek Life is "for life" before I entered college.
Remember, alot is going on in their young lives at that very moment. If you are not raised in a Greek house or know many Greeks or even have a good Alum Group in your area to educate you it becomes a completely different story. Even after being involved in Greek Life there were some sororities that were not on my campus and I knew very little to nothing about.
It is like everything in life and you must be educated about it. Recruitment week does not educate you enough and bring all the points home to be processed. Maybe it has changed now, but not from what I recall.
