When I was dropped as a freshman, my Rho Chi said, "Oh my goodness!! This never happens!!" Well...that made me feel just great.  Yeah...don't say that.
(I am happy to report that I recovered well and got involved in many wonderful campus experiences.)

So way back when I was in undergrad, I said that to a hallmate! As an adult I cringe because THAT COMMENT WAS SUPER UNHELPFUL.

Some PNMs are so fabulous that I think they get dropped because everybody thought their sorority would never have a chance with her.

This too.
A lot of "She is not going to return here, her sister is DG." Or "Her mom is AZD, she's probably not interested in us."
I always try to remind collegians that connections are not always an indicator of interest. You never know how connected that PNM is to a sorority.
Ex: Yeah she may have an AZD aunt who wrote her a rec but sometimes it's just a courtesy and that PNM has no preference for AZD above any other chapter. Or an Alpha Chi Omega . grandma but they really just found out and it has no prevalence in the PNM's life.
That's different from say, a PNM whose mother is a former DZ chapter advisor and who grew up at sorority events. Different connection levels.
Many times, PNMs ARE legit trying to be open-minded because knowing someone is a XXXXX alumna on paper has no bearing on their decisions.

Misread this as a Chi Chi Chi Chi Chi alumna and just for a second was trying to figure out what sororities used 5 letters...

You mean like how some women will preemptively drop men because they figure they're too good to be true?
