But I tend to think the more authentically prominent you are, the less it matters. It's the social climbers who will be heartbroken.

I'm not saying that this is right, but this mentality is very real.

This may partially true, but I don't think that if your family already had the status, your GLO changes your fate.

I think family status often affects a girl's rush and if you expect to meet your spouse at college, which sorority you are in may affect which guys you meet. But for a girl from a family with high status, especially one with a bunch of brothers like the OP, I doubt it's going to matter that much.

This is why I said the crucial qualifier, "in some circles ."

I just didn't want people to take away that it was the most socially prominent circles. It's the circles that still need a whole lot of external validation who are most bummed.
