crashing the board here....
i wouldn't say that is really hazing just by having a weight limit, but i think you got it right by saying that weight has nothing to do with what AOII is about. i think you should say something. doesn't seem the advisor has a clue. is there a regional person you could talk to? maybe the advisor just needs to go if she is not dealing with other problems in the chapter.
it seems the chapter is/has lost it's focus of what the values and guiding principles of AOII are. you might be able to talk to a few of the chapters members and ask about this "crazy thing you heard and surely it can't be true b/c that is nowhere in our membership selection manual."
now, if they are marking people like the infamous lifetime tv movie, then yes. if they are being verbally abusive towards women who are overweight, yes.
are they inviting women into the chapter who are over the limit, then telling them to lose weight? or are they not giving bids to women who are over the set limit? are current members viewed as heavy and they don't to ruin their rep? sounds very odd to me, but maybe it's a competitive school and they are getting a bad rap for having overweight members.
