My story is, basically I went to two open parties and I decided to join!

 Likewise.  Early 70s. Small private school.  NPC women were assigned as pen pals to incoming freshman women over the summer.  It was a "welcome to school" and not a targeted rush - I didn't even realize my pen pal was greek until we got to school. 
We didn't have to attend all chapters' parties.  Perhaps I was invited to others' but I don't remember.  Went to a few DG parties and accepted my bid.  It was the right move for me; I would not have fit in the other chapters.  Of course, our entire greek system at the time was about 120 women among 5 chapters so each had a distinct personality.
My pen pal?  Became my grand-big (though we never used that term), lives about 90 minutes away from me, and we get together a couple of times a year.
