Now, being able to get involved in the clubs you want to is a distinct advantage of attending a smaller school! I imagine it's probably still the same at the SEC schools I went to but back in the day, you didn't just go to Auburn, say, and decide you wanted to be on the pom squad, in Angel Flight, or one of the campus guides. Nope, there was intense competition for those spots and scoring a member in one of those was a major deal for Greek groups. For several "big deal" organizations, each GLO would sponsor a certain number of members to try out and not many would make it...most who did were in the "big name" GLOs.
