Here's some advice-take it or leave it.
Don't ever be RUDE to ANY chapter!
The reason I say this is because I've noticed there may be PNMs that come through recruitment already decided on what chapter they want to be in. The truth is-you should go in with an open mind. As an Alumna, I think its interesting to see that sorority chapter XYZ may be #1 at State U but, when you go to Private U, it's bottom on the totem pole. In fact, you should be polite throughout recruitment because my personal belief is that if you get an invite from ANY NPC-you should be thankful because to be a member of such an incredible organization is an honor in itself.
Remember, these women in these organizations are practicing years and years of tradition. They have upheld such high standards.
When I come across a member of ABC or XYZ sorority / fraternity-I don't say, "So, was this considered a top tier chapter on your campus?" That would be dumb! Instead, I think, "Wow-this person probably gave so much to their community and university while staying involved."
Just because the chapter of your choice did not choose you and there is a chapter of lower status on your campus that truly likes you-give them real consideration because remember-these organizations would not have lasted for so long if they did rock at some campuses around the nation! Every NPC has their "not so great chapters" but, they also have their "awesome" chapters! Keep that in mind!
