Mmm, I don't agree with this. My chapter was in a "New York" situation when I first joined and a number of my pledge sisters were less than enthusiastic about accepting their bids. These same girls got extremely involved, have all held high-ranking officer positions and learned to love the chapter while helping to immensely improve it. Heck, I was one of them! I went through recruitment with my heart set on another chapter, but re-rushing at my college doesn't yield any different results due to the "once-cut, always-cut" situation. I accepted my bid and haven't looked back.
And in terms of the dating analogy - you can date without getting married! I'm a big advocate of trying out the New Member period and dropping before Initiation if it truly doesn't work out*. I don't know of any group of sorority girls so heinous that a NM couldn't stand to hang out with them for a month or two (but I do know a few guys like that...
).
*This is only if you know you are not going to have another shot with a different chapter. If you might, then your chances could be ruined if you join one group and de-pledge before Initiation.
