It's cool to have opinions of chapters as you go through recruitment. That is why you'll write them down in your notebook, especially if there are many chapters on your campus. However, it is not advisable to act rude at any chapter, because word does get around and you don't want to be "that girl". Besides, your mind can change, and you don't want to burn any bridges by acting rude initially and then finding out that you like that chapter later. Just write it down.

To further the guy analogy, think about it this way: let's say you meet this great guy and you seem to be hitting it off. However, then he hears how mean and bitchy you are to other guys and wonders if you'll be like that to him and then he's not interested. Conversely, if he heard that you are nice and polite to everyone, you might go on another date with him. Same goes in recruitment.

It is true that we don't know you and we don't know where you will be going to school. We don't know which chapters you'd be interested in and where would be a good fit. Not all schools are equally competitive. You may still be the star if you are going to a small/noncompetitive school, or if you to to a large, competitive flagship state school with a big Greek system, you will find that you are one of the many pretty popular cheer captains with a fantastic GPA. That's why you were admitted.

Recruitment is also like a job interview. You can have an impressive resume, but if the interview is a flop, you're not getting the job. Things like grades, test scores, activities, (recs too---you didn't mention those!) etc. get you a "foot in the door", but if you don't have a good conversation or they don't think your personality fits, you're not going to get a bid.
