Should you join a "lower tier" sorority?

Exactly.

Sometimes, I think a PNM will pref on group that's a little different than her other two, but generally, your tier options are all about the same.

The choice is low tier or don't be greek, not low tier or higher tier, for most PNMs.

Yep.

And really, if you'd rather not be Greek at all, you probably shouldn't join.

However, if you even think you'll spend the rest of your college years saying "I want to be in a sorority soooo badly" it is definitely worth a shot.

Depending on the school, the whole "lower tier or not being Greek at all" thing is an easy choice for some.

At others, it really is tough to make that decision because a large % of the student body is Greek and that one bid is likely the only one they will get (there is no "I'll try again next year.")

Ah, but many PNMs don't realize this.
