The differing points of view and the insights shared on this thread have been interesting and helpful to me, and frankly, these types of threads are one of the reasons I stay connected to GC. I am one who would typically encourage a PNM to list all of her options, give it a try, etc, and tell a collegian that there is "no way you won't find friends in a 100+ member chapter."
But as several have pointed out, there ARE valid reasons to SIP--and what seem to us to be invalid reasons, may still be vital to the 18/19 year old woman who is living this experience. It's also a good reminder for me that when we are sharing experience and giving advice to PNMs, there is a clear cut difference between hand slapping and lecturing and stating cause/effect and laying out realistic options.
