I completely understand about wanting sisters that are there for you and don't just look good on paper... HOWEVER.. there is the reverse of that... sisters that are GREAT friends.. but aren't that good to the chapter as a whole. This is the sister that is soo great and fun to hang out with... but doesn't pay her dues.. will take your 3 am phone call when you need to talk... but didn't send in that report to national on time. This causes problems as well....
I really don't know what the answer is because you definitely want the best of both worlds when looking for members... HOWEVER you can't tell if that woman who looks great on paper (pays her dues.. 4.0, is president of this activity and that AND feeds the homeless in her "spare time" etc...) and seems friendly and sweet when you talk to her for a total of 4 hours (maybe) by the end of rush week is REALLY going to be there for you...
You also can't tell if that girl you really connect with that is SUPER nice and loyal and just gives a really friendly vibe is going to flake out on the more "businessy" responsibilities of belonging to the chapter.
