Too much knowledge?

I get why in NPC realm it would come off as "weird". What I guess I don't get about this story is that since there was significant "BUZZ" about her in your chapter and it seemed like she was a desired PNM, why it would then be off putting that she was as interested in your organization?
(I'm not counting that she did this for all orgs, since from your story it doesn't seem you knew that before you released her).

Stepping back out of NPC realm, if there was an aspirant that we were "highly interested in" and during the process of speaking to her she showed this level of interest in an appropriate manner, I don't think I'd remove her from consideration.

Fair enough question. We had received a rec for the woman and a couple sisters knew her from high school, so she was on our watch list for sure. But when heavier cuts had to be made, the "obsessiveness" and the fact that she hadn't given us a clue to her personality (simply talked about how she loved us) was called into question. The majority of the women in our chapter were very hesitant about releasing women whose accomplishments were still good (maybe not as good as hers, but still strong) and who had shown their personality to be the right fit and hadn't creeped out their rushers in place of this woman.

In NPC (well, at least my chapter), you see these amazing girls on paper and are very interested, BUT their personality has to fit too. But if it does, then she's definitely a keeper. I think in this case it was one of those situations where we knew her grades and accomplishments were good. From what we had heard about her from her rec and the girls that knew her we assumed her personality was going to be great too, and of course that would make it a no brainer and she would have had a very good chance of getting a bid. In turned out that she came off very poorly in person due to the fact that she would only talked about how she loved all these little obscure things we did, and nobody really knew what she was about. So I think she might have screwed herself over...I think even just pleasant conversation might have worked in her favor, but the recitation of facts just turned everybody off and nobody could see themselves wanting to spend time with her.
