I had another thought rereading your question and I think you're interpreting the tough odds of getting into XO, KD, or DDD (I'm guessing here - fill in the blank with your sorority of choice) as a result of being from OOS. I don't actually think recruitment decisions are based on that logic. The more accurate logic is that the members (or adults, who actually make the decisions) KNOW the girls and their mothers from their hometowns/ camp/ school/ etc. I realize that is a slight distinction. I was surprised to learn that the PNMs who are a known quantity are more highly favored because the houses have a definite sense of who they want in their pledge class. For many of these houses, you should know that the actual members do not vote on invitation lists. I don't know if that's helpful, but it should give you a better sense of how some decisions are made and show that if you're not invited back it may have absolutely nothing to do with you or your conversations. It's not so much a reflection on you as one the way recruitment is done. It's a very messed up system. I wish I'd gone in more open minded because I would have enjoyed the process a lot more.
