There's a difference between not giving a group a chance and giving them a chance and just not finding a connection. Regardless of whether this was the OPs situation or not, just because a group wants someone doesn't mean that person will feel comfortable with them, and they shouldn't feel obligated to join just to join.
Jen, I have to somewhat disagree. Maybe the dating analogy wasn't very good (I'm not always good at giving perfect analogies), but we can all agree that (for the most part) women who go through recruitment and say they didn't "feel comfortable" or didn't "fit in" it is because they thought they were "Too Good" to be in that organization. I fail to believe that of all the NPC chapters there (which all have something incredible to offer) she couldn't find ANYTHING good about that one particular organization.

Please realize that I have no idea where she goes to school. She may go to a school with no chapter of my organization, so this isn't about getting defensive about my GLO-it is about how disgusted I am that women say they go in with an open mind, yet they decide to drop out because the chapter that actually wanted them didn't "fit" them. I don't believe it. I don't feel sorry for her. She will not be getting any sympathy from me.
