The sorority you "see" during recruitment isn't always the sorority as it really is. They are trying to make an impression the same as PNMs. When you turn in an interest sheet, perhaps you listed "soccer". So, in an effort to make easy conversation ABC pairs you with Miss All American Soccer Queen when you had a miserable year, torn ligaments, ball hogs and parents who pushed you into the sport. You could easily walk away with the wrong impression of the sorority. Two girls over was the active who loved going to plays and hanging out in a casual atmosphere, JUST LIKE YOU...but you never had the chance to meet her.

I honestly think some reps hold truth, but don't make the mistake of lumping all the women together because of some chance pairing. Give them the same chance you would have them give you. No matter how many WONDERFUL PNMs go through recruitment, there are only so many openings available. In house legacies, legacies, the close friends of several active members are initially the highest on the dream list. In many cases, this doesn't leave a lot of room. (In a competative rush) Not everyone can be an ABC or XYZ...there simply isn't room even though in your heart you think/know you would make a PERFECT XYZ. If you keep an open mind, you may realize you ALSO make a "perfect" EFG!
