She might get into pref and there may be other PNM's that feel the same way and they are all great girls. It might be the start of a great pledge class and the turning point for the group and she'll be the one with her pledge class that has made a difference.

AXOrushadvisor, thanks for saying this, and I bolded your statement because I've seen it happen. And it works both ways: a pledge class can run a chapter in the opposite direction.
TriDeltaSallie, you are amazing. I have no idea where you are geographically but if you're ever in my neck of the woods I'd love to take you to lunch.
Soapbox: There are No Bad Chapters. Period. Every GLO is amazing. I understand that we are talking about 18 year olds (mostly) for whom other peoples' opinions are paramount. But I know better. I for one am fed up with all this tier talk. Can I stop it? Probably not. But I think it is disrespectful, hurtful, and damaging on multiple levels. I have never met a GLO member, of any letters, NPC OR NPHC, that I wouldn't love to call my sister. Membership is for a lifetime, and the connections we all share are invaluable.
Whatever the outcome, I send best wishes to all the Auburn PNMs and their families. This thread has taught me a lot.
