We are the only local at our school and it wasn't until we started trying to go National that I even considered if we were competing with the natls. We pull from a completely different group than the Nationals do. Only about three or four of our girls went through formal recruitment. We offer a different sort of experience through recruitment, and through the sisterhood. Not better, just different. Part of that being that we're Jewish, and though about half of our members are not Jewish, we embrace the morals and holidays as a group which changes things a lot. When we approached our school's PHC about expansion though, we were told that there are a lot of Jewish Girls in the greek system already, and that we shouldn't be in the place to compete with the other sororities that have brought in Jewish girls.
