Exactly. There will be people you don't even understand how they are part of the same group as the folks you hang out with in a larger Chapter. In order for the group to be effective, it takes all kinds of personalities. If everyone was just alike on the inside, then the Chapter would be awful at one or more things it needed to do well. This is a time to explore, give them a chance. If it's not right then you haven't lost anything by giving them a chance, and in fact you might gain something. And Informal recruitment? Might or might not happen. Juniors rarely get bids at big SEC schools.
