Your personal decision to not use your connection isn't evidence that connections aren't important. Girls often say "I didn't know anyone, I just picked where it felt like a good fit" without realizing (or admitting) that they met some criteria that the chapter wants. For ex, girls that are OOS and went to good schools are very attractive to top houses. Why? Bc they know that they're smart and will likely be a good asset academically for the chapter (for the chapter GPA) and for the chapter's overall image (OOS members are often wealthier than in-state, and often are involved in impressive internships/activities during their college career). For in-state girls, it is only natural that the girls who are from the biggest feeder areas (CLT, Raleigh, Durham/CH, Wilmington, & Winston argubly) and went to schools that members went to (probably private schools or best public schools) will have an advantage for today houses because the members have heard of them or know them, and the chapters know that these girls will have a lot of connections at the school with other freshman and other members of their PC, making them an asset socially. A lot of mid tier chapters tend to also prioritize these qualities in an effort to get "top tier" level pnms. So, you may think that you got into your sorority solely because you "fit" there the best, but it is far more likely that you "fit" because you met some criteria that was advantageous to the chapter's overall recruiting strategy.
