Like I said, I totally agree with being upset at the ones who withdraw because they're "too good" for certain houses. I said that and I agree.

The ones I'm talking about (and maybe it's the rare ones I bolded you for) are usually someone who comes back as a Sophomore and says "well, recruitment didn't work out for me last year, I went to one pref party and decided to withdraw..." and the group jumps on them to say "Well, you missed your one shot at greek life, you really screwed up." Sure, if it's Bama, it might have been. Or it might not have, but the girl is asking for tips on THIS year, not LAST year, move on from last year.

And maybe I'm misreading. Seriously, could be. But to bash after the fact seems pointless and dogpile-ish to me. Again, I'm sure I belong in rainbow-poopy-land.
