All we know about the situation in question is that at least one person made a mean poster, and that at least one person didn’t like how the girls were lined up for a video.
We can read into it all the middle school motivation that we want, and certainly the pig poster makes you wonder, but considering image during recruitment, which like it or not, is a pretty image driven process in a lot of cases, in the form of thinking through how to line up for the video might not make a whole group of girls “stupid bitches.”
Is appearance alone how I think decisions should be made? No. Are appearance and reputation big factors in recruitment? yeah.

Personally I keep it clean so I can keep my letters in my signature...but seriously I think it's deserved. It's not fair to call the entire chapter that at all, but someone (I bet it wasn't just ONE person, either) put up that poster...and they deserve the title.
Like I said, I don't agree with hurting people's feelings for a recruitment video, but I've seen people intentionally left out of pictures or recruitment...at least they were included...and we also don't know the whole story on that one. I don't think that's something to pass judgement on yet.
But the poster? Yes I pass judgement and no, there's no excuse, whether or not we have the whole story.
