I tell girls who are going through Recruitment that even if they do not get a/the house that they want, sisterhood is what they make of it. They are happy because this house wanted them. I don't think I have had a girl go through Recruitment saying that they want a house for its national policies/philanthropy/reputation. Once in a while one will say things like
I like pink so I want to be a Phi Mu
My mom was a KD so I want to be a KD
I feel strongly about St Jude's so I want DDD
But usually their decision is based on mutual compatibility.
Our $30 application fee goes to buy supplies for the woman's shelter after all of the bills are paid.
I would have been so scared to participate in recruitment if I had known that it was for one sorority and in an all or nothing scenario. I also know that is something that you are either comfotable with or not. I know girls whose rush is that way can't see why I would want a bid "for the sake of just being in a sorority"
