I went through recruitment as a freshman. I had met the girls only through recruitment.
They fixed their hair and wore make-up during recruitment. Once recruitment ended, so did the grooming.
I wasn't so shallow as to let that stop me from initiating. I love my sorority, what it represents, etc. I also love the women in it. But, and trust me, I know how bad it sounds, we would be a much stronger chapter if people took better care of themselves.
I realize that there are problems in the "barbie doll" sororities. I also realize that there are great things those groups do besides looking good. My point behind bringing them up was simply to indicate that there is enough interest in greek life at my school to turn out sororities who meet quota. I never once made reference to any groups appearance other than my own.
I'm not trying to stir up the pot. I'm really just trying to get ideas for improving my chapter.
