Way better than those recruitment videos they do these days!
Perhaps those recruitment videos are what I'm picturing, because those tend to be the norm when perusing YouTube and a good number of sorority websites. I would like to think that the vast majority are turning over and speaking truly about what sorority life actually means.

The posts show pride in their sister's accomplishments - academic, athletic, leadership...

Of course everyone posts their best pictures on social media, and these posts are no different, but they are images of real young women with captions written by real young women that present a positive, genuine image of sorority life.

If this is true, great!

But again, I don't want to think that a PNM's experience is negatively affected because it's incorrectly perceived that she's following one sorority's page over another.

Also, consider KSUviolet's latest post, which considers what happens when recruitment is over: http://www.greekchat.com/gcforums/sh...d.php?t=244367
