competition

[cookie]

This question is for the ladies of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority Inc. or other interests.
I have noticed that ladies who want to join this sorority always seem to be competing at meetings almost to the point of catfighting. People practically knock each other over to say the "right" answer first or impress all of the other members, etc. I have always heard that lines can be as big or as small as the members want. So I guess my question is, should I be "competing" with everyone else when they could be a potenial future line sister if I were to make it? The competing at my school doesn't seem to be very sisterly.
