I agree with this and i like your view. That could very well be the reason why people regret joining because I do think you can learn a lot from being in an organization full of strong women. Parties only get you so far. I do feel that working on your social life and social skills is important though for networking purposes and just getting you outside of your comfort zone. I am sure there are pros and cons to it, but hopefully the pros outweigh those cons.
