Yeah, I used to think that too, until I heard about the people who join a small chapter they have no intention of staying at, just so they can get in the large prominent chapter through the "back door." You're in effect screwing over TWO chapters, and if a sorority's had it happen a lot, I can understand why the "get acquainted" rules were put in place.
I think that the not fitting happens at alum chapters too, and I think that way too many times, rather than everyone working together, people either 1) drop out of being involved completely or 2) start a new chapter when it would be better to have one big strong one rather than a bunch of smaller ones. #2 drives me nuts, but it might just be something specific to my GLO.
