I'm of the opinion that (especially an 18-20 year old) opinions can change daily. As such, I think that it is important to stick it out through the cuts in recruitment, accept a bid if offered, and decide in the few weeks prior to initiation if (NPC) sororotiy membership is right for the individual. Also, I don't see a huge difference between the groups on a national level, it just depends on the right fit with the individual collegiate chapters and that too (the chapter's personality) can change over time depending on it's membership. Further, as PNMs become members, graduate and become alumns, they learn to get along with more and more people and become the leaders that make change in their organizations. Suddenly, the differences in the letters you wear on your chest (your top vs. other choice sorority as a 20 year old) become less important than the role you have as an adult and leader in your community.
