I second everything AGDee said! I also want to add that in my experience, the women who regret joining or don't feel like it was worth the added expense are usually the ones who joined a chapter for the social life/parties. If someone goes into it focused on the superficial like how many fraternity parties or dances/date parties a chapter has that individual isn't going to value the personal growth aspects or the alumnae aspects.

I agree with this and i like your view. That could very well be the reason why people regret joining because I do think you can learn a lot from being in an organization full of strong women. Parties only get you so far. I do feel that working on your social life and social skills is important though for networking purposes and just getting you outside of your comfort zone. I am sure there are pros and cons to it, but hopefully the pros outweigh those cons.
