(I know there was at least one of those when I was active!) And the last time I checked, we're members for life, not just for a couple years in college.

But the thing is - college is when you're going to be living with the psycho and dealing with the psycho on a regular basis. It's not worth saying "maybe she'll be faboo when she's 30" if she's going to make your whole collegiate sorority experience miserable and cause a divide in your chapter. And some of these "psycho sisters" we've referenced - that's EXACTLY what they do. We're not talking about little quirks like someone who never replaces the toilet paper.
I think that unhoused (or undormed) chapters can probably accept a greater diversity of women than those that are housed - if you don't have to live with someone they have to do quite a bit more to drive you nuts.
