Shouldn't sororities also be able to find pnms that match their interests, values, and personalities? (Rhetorical question - no need to answer.) Sororities are more than mere social clubs - they embody a set of ideals, a standard embodied by their creeds, symphonies, etc. It is not enough to be "nice" - you must meet the standards of membership (which no NPC woman is going to go into with any except her sisters) in order to represent the vision the groups' founders first expressed some hundred or so years ago. That is the awesome responsiblity of membership selection, and I'd wager a guess that the vast majority of NPC women take it VERY seriously.

I'm very glad NPC has a mutual selection system that, while not perfect, works for the vast majority of potential new members. I am also glad the NPC has "tweaked" the system, and that it continues to improve.

IBTL!
