I joined through "informal" (or COB) recruitment, and only went to AGD because I wasn't sure if greek life was for me and I didn't want to overwhelm myself with girls all over the place.
I really wish I had gone to all the houses. Don't get me wrong - I love my organization and everything about it, and joining was one of the best decisions in my life. But I'd also like to say that as I became more active in the panhellenic community, particularly by acting as a recruitment counselor as a junior and senior and sitting on the exec board of panhellenic - the women in every chapter on my campus were quality women with whom I'm sure I would have been comfortable had I joined any organization on campus.
I don't regret joining AGD, in fact I believe that given the opportunity to go through all the chapters I think I still would have joined AGD - but I also feel like I should have taken the chance to get to know the women in other chapters, and the PNMs for other chapters - it's always nice to have extra support besides your own new member class when you're going through the crazy busy process of a new member period.
I'm one of the lucky ones that can legitimately say that two of my best friends are my sisters from my own chapter, and two more are sisters from different chapters.
