Not thinking that you would fit in or not wanting to be a part of a certain chapter doesn't mean that you believe you are "too good" for that sorority. Sure, there are women who think they are "too good" for lower-tier groups but that is not always the case. For what it's worth, when I went through recruitment there were a couple of chapters that were considered very "top tier" that I personally didn't feel like I would fit in with at all - so it's not always about feeling "too good" for a chapter.
Every woman's situation is different and every woman going through recruitment needs to do what is right for her. In my opinion, it's better to suicide if you only want a bid from one chapter and would decline a bid from another chapter because then you're not taking a spot away from a girl who would love to be in the chapter you're not interested in. Quit being so harsh - you don't know anyone's particular situation and this poster didn't provide us with enough information to start drawing conclusions.
OP, actions have consequences. I'm sorry that recruitment didn't work out the way you wanted it to, and I wish you the best of luck in your college career.

Agree with Macon Magnolia. Generally speaking, I think most people who SIP aren't being open minded.... but there are exceptions! When I went through recruitment, I had a friend who SIP'd because the other chapter on her list was home to her ex-boyfriend's new girlfriend, and it was an uncomfortable situation for her. I thought it was very strange that they invited my friend back, but she was a legacy and I had the sense that the chapter wasn't able to release her based on their return rates. Nonetheless, my friend SIP'd, and I thought she had a pretty good reason.
