Unless you have a chapter full of clones, or unless the PNM is completely impossible and anti-social, any chapter of any size will have something to offer a PNM.
I had anywhere from 100-140 sisters in my 4 years of college life. I wasn't dearest friends with every one of them. There were some I didn't like very much, nor did they like me. And that's OK.
But did I fit in? Sure - because in my house, there was room for all of us - the studiers, the partiers, the reformed partiers who became studiers. The girls who wore Birkenstocks and the girls who wore Laura Ashley (I'm dating myself, but still).
Fitting in is the ability to be comfortable in your own skin and allowing the people around you to be comfortable in theirs.
I'm not saying the OP wasn't crushed and doesn't have the right to be crushed. She's welcome to feel how she feels - I think we're hopefully trying to encourage and offer perspective.
The beauty of sisterhood is that there's room for all kinds of people. And that becomes even more apparent after college - because maybe DEF has the reputation of being the preppy house at Learnmore U., but they're allegedly the granola girl house at X State. I've met enough of my sisters from other chapters and they're as different as can be. Which is great - because it's more interesting that way.
It would be easy for me to say, "But I just KNOW I would have made a great ABC." That's possibly true, but that's not the point. The point is that ABC didn't think I'd make a great ABC, and I could sit around and wonder why, or I could get out there and have some fun as a DEF.
I know what I would pick.
