I don't know about this. I think I can say that I would, IF. I would if I just plain old LIKED the girl with the 2.25 and no activities better. I understand that groups want women with good grades and activites, but when it comes down to picking sisters with whom you will be sitting up all night in your pajamas eating ice cream and crying over heartbreak, who in the heck cares if she was on student council in high school? Maybe I'm weird, but I don't see how that woman makes a better sister. I do understand that grades matter in that they are a requirement, but I'm talking about the rest of the stuff. And the whole beauty queen thing -- I know it does matter at some schools, but how in the heck does being a beauty queen make someone appealing as a SISTER?
I see it as more of a zen thing I guess. If you're talking to someone and you just *like* her, you feel it and I don't think that other stuff matters so much. To quote from the awesome History of the Alpha Phi Fraternity book I just received, our founders felt the "need of a social center, a place of conference, a tie which should unite, a circle of friends who could sympathize with one another in their perplexities." By worrying about activities and what not, aren't we actually getting away from the true meaning of sisterhood?
