Re: replacing someone who drops out: What are the odds that an organization with 185 members and a campus total of 130 is actually going to even CONSIDER giving someone a bid if a woman drops out right before initiation? I don't think that would happen. When you're that big, does COB even exist to you?

What is really bothering me about this thread are the people who say stuff about how sisterhood is the most important part of sorority membership or I think the orgs. are all awesome or I hung out with other than the top fraternities and it was great or whatever so you should just SUCK IT UP AND DEAL. I mean, I might not understand any individual's reasons for wanting X, Y, or Z out of her sorority membership (and I did mention not understanding the importance placed on mixing with fraternities) because I might have different priorities. However, I don't think it's fair or productive for me to be overly critical of her for it. That would be like me going into someone's wedding thread and saying, "Oh man I would be perfectly happy getting married in jeans with two guests so you should just deal and forget the big wedding of your dreams." We all have different priorities and desires, so why not accept that other people don't necessarily value what you do?
