I don't think so. The point of recruitment is to find your niche and to join who you feel comfortable with.

No it doesn't... if you reread 33girl's post,you'll more than likely find out why.
I'm glad you only rushed the fraternity you related to because of their mission and value statements... and I'm glad you were able to join the brotherhood you felt was right for you.
However- when many young women go thru rush, say SuzyQ for example, they will only want ABC sorority because they are the "top tier" sorority on campus. They have the most mixers, with the best fraternities, they are the reigning flag football champions, they have the most homecoming queens, or they are just a popular sorority in that region (south, north, west, east).. whatever. Regardless of how or even *IF* SuzyQ connects with the women in that ABC chapter, that is all she wants and is unwilling to even consider a chapter of "lower status" filled with sisters she may actually connect to. In other words, she just wants ABC for the wrong reasons. For some people who join for the "wrong reasons", it ends up being a miserable experience anyway because they don't mesh well with the ladies who are already there, and may end up deactivating later. (Not saying it always happens, but it's definitely possible... esp. if the new member only joined for the "status" and not the people there)
Your reason for only rushing your fraternity and the reasoning of SuzyQ here are entirely different.
