I'll quote irishpipes in her recruitment story (one of my favorites) because I think she says it well...

I wouldn’t mind being the envy of my rush group and girls like Pam and Joelle. The thing that clinches it for me is a fleeting thought back to my high school. My high school was filled with very wealthy people. My own family had once done pretty well, but after my parents divorced things became more difficult. We weren't poor, but I was aware that things weren't as easy for us. I know in HS I intentionally worked at Marshall Fields because between the money I earned and the employee discount, I could “keep up” with the girls in school. Did I want that underlying feeling that I didn’t really fit in for 4 more years? I think too, I wanted to take control over the situation and rather than give them the opportunity to disappoint me, I would just cut them first. So, after thinking long and hard, I decide to just put one name down…
