[QUOTE=silverpearls;1844113]One of them I'm not sure about, since she has kind of a rough history with sorority life. She went through the first two days of FR last winter, then dropped. We invited her to COB, but she said no because she didn't want to join an NPC group. She then pledged a local, got a big sister and lasted over a month, but dropped before Initiation. At the booth she told us that she de-pledged because she realized she really wanted to be in an NPC (specifically, Venus). I didn't get a chance to meet her, but I'm curious to. I don't know how things ended with the local, but she de-tagged herself in every single picture that had to do with them... which could be a red flag? Anyway, since I'm going to name a few PNMs I know will be coming through, I'll call her Greta.

While I can't speak for everyone, I can tell you that this does happen. I didn't go through FR to start, but I pledged a local, got a big (the give you a big the night you get pinned as a pledge) and lasted 6 weeks. We knew when we were getting in (none of us were stupid and there were way to many hints), 3 weeks later...and I dropped. I dropped for different reasons (no one is going to tell me I have to miss my sister's surprise sweet 16 or drop) but just because she pledged and dropped a local doesn't automatically make her a bad choice.

Keep an eye on her but give her a fair shot!
