try telling a woman who has been heavily cut during recruitment but still got a bid from the house that truly was for her that she isn't aware of the importance of being a select few. i promise you that you'll get a completely different answer.

Try telling someone who has been pledging for three weeks that his grades weren't what he thought they were and we would be forced to drop from the program. I gaurentee you it'll mean a HELL of a lot more. And it did. This happened to my Little. When someone doesn't get a bid, they'll get over it, however upset they may be at the time. If you're dropped for a reason like that after actually WORKING FOR YOUR LETTERS for a time, you feel it much much more deeply.
**edited to add**
Next semester if he comes back and makes it to the end of the program I gaurentee you he will appreciate it more than the example you used.
Sorry, but you're wrong. No matter what you say someone who is handed letters will NEVER appreciate them as much as one who has earned them. Bottom line. End of argument.
