I know several women who would probably now be in a "middle" chapter rather than a "bottom" chapter (which many dropped out of within days or weeks) had they played the game like that. Unfortunately, those of us who could see it coming had no way we could bring it up to the women or their moms! ("Sarah Jo, we perceive you as a middle level rushee and here's how you should play recruitment.")
Many of them think they're at the top of the game because they were that in their high school or their town. That does not = top of the pile in a large school's recruitment. A couple of exciting days of parties with hardly any cuts reinforces this. Then BAM! The "top" groups have disappeared from their list.
