Who is to say that they wouldn't choose the more "West Coast" sorority over the pearls and Bible sorority? Who are we as outsiders to judge what PNMs should value and like in a sorority?

Not necessarily in response to your comment alone, but also to a comment earlier in the thread about "judging" -- this seems a little disingenuous since recruitment is
all about judging.
PNMs are "judging" chapters, and chapters are "judging" PNMS. Every single day of recruitment. This is why PNMs are advised to clean up their social media, arrive with appropriate attire, and remember that they are trying to impress other women, not frat boys.
And this is why we can spend 2 forum pages discussing whether to wear a necklace and/or what kind of necklace to wear with a recruitment t-shirt. I do agree that these are first-world problems in the big scheme of things.
But we behave as if image and stereotypes
do matter -- if these don't, then certainly we are taking our Greek selves waaaay too seriously.
