Thank you. Yes. Exactly.

You can either get real, or you can stay in fantasy-land and lose out on being Greek at all. And as you said - even if the girl squeaks in, she'll probably spend 2/3 of her time as an active worrying about every move she makes and whether she is "measuring up."

As a side note, the old movie "Inside Daisy Clover" was on last night. It's the story of a tomboy who gets discovered by a movie studio who proceeds to change everything about her. Of course, then she's miserable. That just seemed rather pertinent to this discussion.

Right, and generally speaking, no girl can really keep this up.

They'll stay through the NM period and initiate even though they don't like playing "catch up" because they'll think "this is Top House and who in their right mind would depledge Top House?"

Anyone I have ever know in that sort of situation stuck it out maybe that first year, but terminated by next fall. Of course, by then it's too late to try again.
