Because of these comments, I was determined to get to know some of the girls and form my own opinion of them. I so far have absolutely LOVED what I have seen and learned. I hope this is somewhat encouraging to you. People are mean and point out the supposed negative aspects of others because they think it makes them look better by comparison. They are more often than not sadly mistaken.

i really wish that ALL pnms had this viewpoint! there are plenty of them out there, but not enough. i really hate when one sorority is being "bashed" by the others. being small is not equal to being bad. coming from the smaller chapter, i know that it takes a lot of work. when i rushed there were 13 sisters (3 years after its founding)....my class added 11 more. the following year, we added 16.....then we added 6. have you ever had to tell your chapter that after bid matching, you only matched 1 girl???? i did. people were devestated. just when we thought we were going in the right direction, something happened. ten years after our founding, we are still the "smallest" chapter. we are up to close to 50....i think, before graduation. the other chapters are at 75.
sarah, hang in there. through all of the "crap" that came with being in the smaller chapter, like having 3 offices and hearing nonsense, i would NEVER EVER have made a different choice! being in the smaller group takes a lot of hard work and dedication. isn't it great that the girls who are NOT willing to put in that time and effort are going to other groups?
(please note, i am not saying that the big groups are filled with people who don't care)
