I've not been a fan of pink (or super girly things in general...don't get me wrong, I wear dresses, straighten my hair, talk about guys, and occasionally paint my nails, but I hate One Tree Hill and doing aerobics together makes me ill) for a long time. I also didn't want to be in any group where the way I looked/acted was monitored to the point where I would feel like a part of the group MORE than an individual. These were deal breakers to me in regards to one group in particular on campus. In another case I saw the same issues to a smaller degree...but the fact that their skit was about shoes was my deal breaker! Sounds stupid, but I couldn't help it. Not my thing.
One of the sororities I dropped was a "top" sorority on campus that members of my current sorority thought I would want first, so that probably saved me from getting dropped in turn by everyone else as a lost cause. In the two I preffed, I didn't choose one because the girl who was preffing me said I would "feel right" about my choice when I made it and I looked around to a room full of crying girls...that was a deal breaker right there. I wasn't close to shedding any tears. Ironically it was that girl who helped me pick my chapter...she's a complete sweetheart and made it hard, but in the end I ended up in the right place.
