Although I appreciate your effort to have girls keep an open mind, this is just the kind of thing that ends up biting girls in the ass. Yes, it CAN (and in your example did) happen, but by selling this as a possibility you convince a lot of girls to write down chapters they have no intention of joining.
I would much rather suggest to these girls that unless they really super duper couldn't ever see any way of EVER making it work with the second or third choice, you should write down all of your options. But that is not the same as write down the chapter you despise in hopes of being a QA to the chapter you love.
Take a deep breath, take a moment to consider what it means to be a sister and a friend, and outside of rush what those qualifications would entail, and then maybe think if that 2nd or 3rd choice really doesn't offer that. I would hope that a lot of girls would go, you're right, I don't choose my friends based on how well they do skits or how well they can match clothes with 50 other girls! But some will still only be willing to accept 1 sorority based on whatever her personal criteria are, even if we think she's wrong, narrow-minded or childish. And blowing sunshine up her skirt over possible happy endings doesn't help either her or the chapter she doesn't want.
