Based on speaking with several Cornell alums, the recruitment is competitive and connections are important but comparing it with recruitment at Southern schools like Bama, Auburn and UT, it's a different competitiveness.
Also, these are some of the brightest students in the country. When recruiting as actives, they are really interested in what PNMs want to do with their life and they don't mean joining Junior League.
Junior League? Nobody wants to hear that down here! I can't think of anyone who would say that during recruitment!
That would've gotten you weird look at Auburn or Arkansas even way back in the day.
Fair enough. She had a good response too the question along the line of, "why would I want to do that?". She ended up in one of the top chapters at Texas and did not return to the one that mentioned Junior League. She graduated at the top of her class and passed all 4 parts of the CPA exam on the first try.

Laughing because my cousin is an alumna of Cornell's Kappa Kappa Gamma chapter and has always been involved in Junior league post graduation in 1985.
Both of her daughters attended Cornell as well and are now alumnae members of Pi Beta Phi though I don't believe that either are involved in Junior league yet.
See, women would certainly join it when they're older. It's just that you wouldn't bring it up in recruitment--it would be like suggesting that's all you're good for.
