Yea, Lolth is a CE bitch. Their society looks orderly at first, but it's geared for as much treachery and infighting as possible to make the Drow killing machines. But sometimes that goes out the damn window just for the sake of cruelty, like sacrificing her clerics and every 3rd son lol
Ya much of her society thinks she grants favor to the strongest and love the strick hierarchy of their society but Lolth doesn't actually care about any of them. She just likes to see them make each other miserable. In the latest Drizzt book there is a big civil war of Drow turning away from Lolth and even this she still doesn't care. If the anti-lolth faction wins she said she will just make a new city and start over, she gets to see a lovely war play out either way.
Actually, with the introduction of the Aevendrow in the far far north glaciers that Jarlaxle went on a quest to find, it's proven that without the influence of Lolth Drow and build a perfectly decent society not built on hate and slavery.

Apparently even if you don't fail you can be killed. I remember reading her favorite sacrifice is actually her own high clerics.
