I'm facing this with a friend from my book club, where several of us attended Penn State and were members of different sororities.
One of the women has a daughter we'll call Susie who is heading off there in the Fall, and I told her how brutal it was there now - that a woman I know had a daughter cut from her top tier sorority even though was a double legacy (mom and grandmom) and had been Homecoming Queen at her high school (meaning she had to have been a halfway decent and attractive percent to get elected by her peers).
My friend just looked at me, and said "Susie WILL be an ABC!". Even though ABC is also top tier. (The one advantage to Penn State is that there are spots in plenty of other, perfectly-good sororities for everyone; the disadvantage is that it sounds like a lot of girls drop out if they don't get into one of the few seen as "top tier").
I'm afraid the two of them may be in for some heartache....
