why?

Why is this group so supportive of GLOs' exclusivity (see below comment) yet are closed to PNMs who show that SAME attitude by not "maximizing all of their options" by dropping out of recruitment when they don't like the houses they are left with? Could it be that some long-time GC members are (still) defensive about belonging to GLOs that are not "competitive" or are bottom ranked chapters?

I had to prep for recruitment by reading what's online and the tone on this site is toxic. Having now gone through the process and graduated, I do understand how rankings weaken greek life and how ALL girls in all groups, especially those at elite schools, are smart and high achievers. I also understand that not all girls have style or are outgoing or are as pretty as others, etc and how these things absolutely factor into rankings and why girls get cut and why girls drop certain chapters, because in the end, it IS a mutual selection process.

You older-sounding ladies on this site rank in your own way and with your own jargon but get upset when others do it (defensive much?). You also protect exclusivity and then don't accept it in PNMs'. Be consistent. Stop being rude to women who share their disappointment about not getting into a desired house. If girls want to be part of the chapter that has the prettiest or most stylish girls, they can shoot for WHICHEVER chapter they want because in the end, all groups develop a sisterhood and have fun experiences together, including the rich or pretty girls. And if someone gets cut from the chapter of choice, maybe you all can give them tips for getting in in other ways instead being hurt and rude.

Why?

These are private organizations who can pick WHOEVER they want. Rush just makes the process of finding which girls they want easier. There is no contract that says they have to choose ANY girls through formal rush.
