I say this because once you choose to affiliate, you can't go back. You have to pay dues and be active in the chapter until you graduate or depledge. If you hang out for awhile and find out that the girls are not like you, you save yourself a lot of hassle and preserve your AOII membership.
Bolding for emphasis. This is the best advice, and I would give it a very strong endorsement. I've seen the heartbreak of an affiilate having to resign for financial reasons; had she not affiliated, she'd still have her lifetime membership.
