And unlike a lot of girls had a lot of call backs (or whatever it's called). She only dropped these particular ones because she didn't get the same good feeling after her visits and they were asked which ones they would like to eliminate. Because she is already busy, she wondered if she should join a group that she really didn't "connect" with. Ultimately, it is her decision and she will do what is best for her. I just wanted some feedback because I am trying to understand how things work. Is being a sophomore a disadvantage when there are over 1700 girls rushing?
I'll let the ladies from Bama respond to that but, from an outsider's perspective, I would say that SEC recruitment is quite competitive. Because of that, even if you don't get a "top-tiered" chapter, you should still be thankful that ANYONE wanted to invite you back. With 1700 girls going through recruitment, your unique snowflake doesn't exactly appear to be unique. She is like every other goregous PNM with awesome grades and extra-curriculars. Not "connecting" with the girls is just another way to say she thinks she is "too good" for the chapters she doesn't find desirable. Many of us can read between the lines.
