Choosiing a house is so incredibly personal, I know for me personally, I can't see anything other than how I feel when I'm with the sisters as influencing my decision. I never quite understood how someone could choose a house before you even met them.
It's like choosing a boyfriend. He can have tons of money or hard working, but doesnt mean he's right for you till you see each other for a bit.

I think you just answered PrettyKittieJ's question.
PKJ - sorry if that sounded harsher than intended - but the fee for rush doesn't guarantee anything and that is stated right up front. The experience of rush itself is what you are paying for. I don't know what exactly goes into that $50 or how many houses are involved, so it's hard to tell if that's low or high.
And yes - in NPHC everything is for ONE org - but my point was that for some ladies they never make it into that ONE org.
I think that part of the reason more emphasis is placed on getting along with the women in THAT SPECIFIC CHAPTER in NPC is because you usually have to live with them at some point. I didn't pick my group for its philanthropy or national rep, I picked it because those were the women I felt the most comfortable with and who I thought I could give the most to and vice versa.
