[QUOTE=als463;2257820]So, first I agree with cinder and other posters that this was not an unfortunate situation. This young woman was sitting in a spot that another girl could have been in and she chose not to attend the parties. That sounds incredibly selfish. I feel no sympathy for her. Second, I want to point out your statement about being "18" and not knowing the game as you claim these women don't understand. You do realize you can join the military at 17 with a parent's signature--right? als463, how is that relevant? Well, if we have young men and women fighting for our country at an age we have all decided is adult enough to make decisions regarding life or death, I'm not going to sit here and boo-hoo because Suzy Snowflake decided not to maximize her options and now she has no sorority to call home. Maybe she should be a little less picky at a place where sorority recruitment sounds like a modern day Hunger Games.[/QUO
Don't really see any connection between military service and sororities.
My only point is 18 year olds make foolish decisions all the time. Not maximizing your options is as foolish as you can get in this recruitment, I agree. You can still have empathy for someone even though they chose badly. You can tell an 18 year over and over that she should go with any sorority that accepts her and she will find friends, but if she perceives that is not "cool" with her peers, she is not going to do it. I have empathy for them because they just don't have the life experience and maturity to make a good decision.
