KSU, you are one of my favorite posters, but I think I will have to respectively disagree with you here.
I do agree that in MOST places, the statements I quoted above are true... but there ARE some people and/or areas where people just plain don't grow up.
Even if they are 30 years out of college, tiers still matter in their mind either on a school basis or "overall" (e.g. "you don't want to be in THAT sorority! They aren't that big nationally, they only have X chapters and are mainly focused in (---certain geographical area here----)
I've seen plenty of those people here on GC and it amazes me, especially given that those people are alums from a super long time ago.
So in summary, I do agree with you that in a lot of places what you said is true. When we are late-20's or whatever no one gives a flying squirrel who was part of what and what "tier" they were in back in college, but if you are in one of those hard-core sorority regions it DOES matter b/c in their little bubble of the universe status is the only thing they care about.
So if ppl in :those: regions want to cut groups b/c they aren't "top tier" I can't say I have any sympathy for them not being matched.
