My point was when a PNM is torn between two houses I dont really think its the philathrophy that sells one house over the other, I would think (and hope) how well they got along with the sisters and if she could see herself in that house would be more important factors.

On a funny note, one of my sisters went to Morningside which is Delta Epsilon. Ironically, one of the girls who became a incredibly active member was a two generation legacy to AOTT, the only other sorority on campus. But she had a daughter who when she was incredibly sick stayed at the RMH, b/c RMH is our philanthropy she chose ADPi instead of AOTT.
Just thought that was a cute little anecdote to share.
But you are right 95% of the PNM's will chose houses they are comfortable with and can see themselves fitting in, not b/c of the philanthropy. Those girls who do look at the philanthropy as a "pitch" I guess are few and far between.
