These dozens of girls had decided that they were going to be the "alternative" sorority. Group 3 was okay with this.
Groups 1 and 2 didn't want to deal with the ongoing problems that an alternative chapter can have. They put their heads together and gave very "blonde" presentations. As they hoped, group 3, with their presentation tailored for these girls, was selected. The chapter still exists but is very unlike the others and is much smaller than the rest. They're lucky because a chapter like that would struggle at most big Southern schools.

It's nice to know that group #3 actually cared about giving these "alternative"
girls a sisterhood where they would feel welcome and is OK with being smaller instead of just condeming them. As long as you aren't biting off more than you can chew with a ginourmous house, the only reason smaller chapters have a bad sorority experience is usually because their national$ are con$tantly telling them they suck because they're smaller. It's hard to rush successfully when the people who you pay dues to, ostensibly to lift you up, are always putting you down.
