This idea that girls will get more involved on campus (join a sports team or write for the school paper or start a anime club, etc.) than they would have if they were in a sorority first semester has not held up.

First semester recruitment DOES help smaller chapters. Girls that are new to the system are more willing to take a chance on a group. It also means girls are less likely to drop out of recruitment if they don't get their first choice. First semester recruitment cuts back on drama.

Most importantly, first semester recruitment DOES prevent dirty rushing - as in "if you don't do X - I'll make sure you never pledge ABC or you HAVE to do this everybody does it."

Been there - done that. Have the T-shirt.
I grew up in a Greek family, and my big bro and his friends were like "ABC is the snobby bitches and DEF is the nice-girl losers and all the other chapters aren't Jewish". So yes, I got some negative stereotypes from my bro, but I guess my take-away was more "wow, every chapter has a downside or something negative that people say about them".
