That word "rude," I do not think it means what the OP thinks it means.

Rude: "I'm not surprised you got cut by XYZ. They only take the most stellar girls and girlfriends of football players. You're so much better off, you were dumb to think you had a chance. Suck it up and deal with what you have left."

What is usually said on GC: "I'm so sorry you got cut from XYZ. I hope you will keep an open mind and look at the chapters that are still inviting you back to parties with fresh eyes rather than comparing them to XYZ."

No one here is saying that less popular chapters have some sort of moral high ground over the more popular chapters. We're simply saying that only looking at the most popular chapters (or jobs, cities, houses, anything in life) will result in losing out on a lot. If you honestly would rather not be Greek than be a member of a less popular chapter or you only want one group, you can come to that decision and that's your choice, but then don't come back and cry and whine about how much you wish you were Greek.
