But of course it was the dreaded "I just felt like I didn't fit in/click with chapter/s."
Those of us who have been on Greekchat for any length of time know that you're not complaining about being cut from the "top tier/beautiful model/rocket scientist/fraternity favorite/insert your tent talk hyperbole here chapter." It's because you didn't want the "struggling/smallest/fatty/ugly/lamest/insert your tent talk smash and bash here." The PNM was too good to be one of those.
You know what? Those were the women who wanted you; poor GPAs, lack of recs, poor social skills, out of state residence, body odor or other real or imagined issue. The truth is, the PNM rejected them and rejected the Bama Greek system. The Bama Greek system did not reject them.
Oh, and I am kind of astonished that anyone would think a 3.0 GPA coming out of high school equates with Phi Beta Kappa type expectations.

Another thank you for this. I know I weighed in on the grade issue before, and maybe this is harsh, but if you're coming into college with below a 3.0 these days, I would think that not getting into a sorority is not your biggest issue. My parents weren't Greek, so maybe they didn't care as much, but they sent me to college to get a degree. They are glad that I enjoyed my sorority experience, but would not have allowed me to continue if I didn't have the grades.
