Nothing gives you the connotation that you're already a member or that you could potentially be one until it actually happens. So I can't see where one has the opportunity to feel say, entitled to be an AKA.
Does that make sense?

Yes it makes sense. But you are trying to bring sense to the senseless.
True the term PNM is a term that I would not use for our process the same way you would, but the breakdown and the games are still the same regardless of the structure.
For instance though we don't have the listing, I would say because interested members have it in their heart since they were little (more so with sororities than fraternities from family members, friends, teachers, social leaders) that they are gonna be XYZ that being rejected by XYZ sorority can sometimes cause a firestorm.
When they receive the rejection letter the reactions are still the same especially if they are legacy (again more so in sororities). Just like with you all, it is not the majority but that minority is the most vocal from legacy parents calling the chapter to depression to how could they reject me.
I've seen (not literally, never been invited but the NPHC greek world is small) of girls coming to teas inappropriately, Girls that feel that because they have the grades they are shoo ins, and girls that had in their heart for so long they pretty much feel they are greek, they just need it to be official.
I've witnessed first hand where a girl was rejected from XYZ sorority and her mother being a member of XYZ sorority made it her mission to get that chapter suspended.
Real story (And an episode of As the Sands Burn).
