I know so many women who (reluctantly) joined their second, third or fourth-choice sorority and ended up loving their experience, often more than if they had gotten their first choice.

Completely agree. At my second choice, I talked with a girl who didn't originally want her sorority but grew to love it. It's really what you make it.

Yep. I think a lot of it stems from PNMs not truly knowing and understanding the process of recruitment and the true competitiveness of their school, in this case-Auburn. It could also be arrogance (I can make
any chapter I want even if I'm a senior with a kid, 1.3/4 GPA, possess no social skills, talk about how much I like to get drunk everyday, etc) but I think ignorance is a kinder excuse than narcissism.
I am so glad my school is not competitive. I can't even imagine going to a school where it's such an important aspect of social life and something that has been tradition for their families. It must be so stressful and upsetting (at some points).
