lauradav,
this was what I referred to:

I read that as "I only want to join the big popular sorority where everything will be rosy, because I really don't want to bust my butt too much." A group of older (20 years old!
) women with experience of college life and knowledge of the campus could do a great deal to turn a struggling chapter around, and gain personal satisfaction as well. I wish that more sororities would do as DG is doing (see other thread) and reach out to these women with a concerted effort rather than give up on the chapter.
