[/QUOTE]As you said, this is a very old post. The sister who was best friends with her needed to do all that, NOT the rest of the sorority. My guess is that the girl was clingy and the sister in question liked having the rest of the sorority around to "diffuse" her clinginess. And ditto what carnation said, you never know when someone is going to go full on whackadoo.[/QUOTE]

I agree that it should be the girls friend and not the entire chapter. I didn't mean to imply that the whole chapter should be involved but it seems the girl in the first situation just really was looking to make friends. This might sound crazy, but there are still huge populations of girls who go to college without know anyone in a sorority (or anything about them) so the only thing they see are the websites and what the chapters are like in the first few days. If she's seeing photos and hearing propaganda she developed an image of what they would want in their organization and is just trying to fit in.

As for the girls who need mental help, I didn't read the entire thread so that's probably obvious in some situations.
