And how is it strange that people do things differently??? I'm gonna ignore that one.
Yup. Cosign!

I'm going to add another cosign to this one. It's something that I truly loved about my sorority. I got to know everyone well. I couldn't believe it when some of my friends who went with the large panhels told me they didn't know everyone in their chapter. To me, that's strange...

Does bonding stop when the pledge period is over? Or does it continue as you work in the chapter--thus extending to more than just the pledge class?

I agree with you here; however, I too have heard from people in large chapters who don't know all of the people in the chapter -- I'm talking about not knowing them at all to the point that they are surprised when they see a woman in their letters on campus and find out that they're in the same chapter.

I've also heard from people who were part of large pledges classes/lines who barely know the others and maybe only know first names at best.

With the way some pledge programs are set up, cliques can occur within pledge classes causing people not to know those outside the clique very well.

That sums it up for me. We don't have to accept everyone on campus just because "Ooooh there sure are lots of Black people here." Give me a break.
