[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To be fair, joining a house with a dozen or so members is a very different sorority experience than joining one with 150 or 200 members.

The numbers are not exactly the case in this circumstance, but it can sure feel like it if the disparity is close to 50 or more. Or even if your PC is 8 when everyone else’s PC is 45 (just to choose a generic example).
And that’s hard to bounce back from, but not impossible.
The struggle for those who join the group at that point is that 60% of your membership experience becomes heavily focused on continuing to recruit new members informally so that they can close the gap as much as possible before the next recruitment in 12 months, while the experience for other groups is just to enjoy their sisterhood and focus on their existing programming for the next 11 months until it’s time for recruitment again. It’s definitely a different experience. By having been a member of a chapter that utilized continuous open bidding to narrow the membership gap, I cab attest that there are positives to this experience too. I made lots of non-Greek friends that I was encouraged to bring to things, and some of them ended up joining my sorority as result of that as well. And even girls who either decided not to join or weren’t asked to join still had a fun time hanging out together with my sisters and get to know what actual Greek life was like in a real-life setting instead of within the curated and carefully rehearsed formal recruitment process.
