While I would never wish a recruitment disaster on any chapter, and certainly not the kind of tragedy Peppy posted about, I will say that seeing how a chapter handles these sorts of things would give you a real glimpse into their sisterhood. It's just like any other relationship - stress brings out the best and worst in people, and can give you insight into their true natures.

I've written before about the coldness shown me by a legacy chapter during my recruitment when I broke down because I had just been told my aunt had died at the age of 32. I saw a side of those women that no one else did; it wasn't pretty. I knew then that they would never be my sisters because in the face of genuine grief they were unsympathetic. I guess that's my recruitment disaster - but in a way, Bev's death helped me find a true sisterhood.
