I can see where PNMs are coming from with this. Maybe they were huge leaders in their small town high school but they were cut from the groups that are the known leaders on campus solely because no one knew them. Maybe they went to such a huge high school that they weren't able to show what awesome leaders they were. It may or may not have occurred to them that yeah, they might be able to turn the currently less involved sorority around--but right now, they want to jump into a sorority that's known for their campus involvement. And on most campuses, there are some like that.
I also don't believe for one instant that "the sororities know where you'll fit in". They are not magic and/or all-seeing, they're quite fallible. Every year, members of various sororities at big schools tell me that they usually have no idea which girls they kept until they walk in the door for the next party. It's kind of like they submit their votes and some giant machine cranks out the lists and here are these members all dumbfounded because they thought they had enough support for their favorites to keep them. Apparently not.
Not to mention that on big campuses with over 100 members, the girls aren't cookie cutters. Some people would have us believe that to join AB or CD at Big SEC school, you must have gone to a private school and been on the dance team and have a 4.5 and know 75% of the members. Not so.
There is often no clear rhyme or reason why a PNM is cut.
