Rather than try to start something with an ad hominem attack, why don't you pm me if you have any issues with me, whoever you are?

I judge from past posts in different forums.

If you know that to be true, is it worth it to hurt a sister's feelings? My answer is yes. The only way for a small chapter to recover at a big school is to increase numbers.
I know I will get a lot of responses about quality over quantity, but you simply can not be a strong chapter if you are much smaller than the others. You don't have the money, you don't have the number of women volunteering their time as officers, and you don't have the presence on campus.
It's unfortunate, but it has to be done.

You are my sister and I should try to be respectful, but since what you said really offended me, I don't care. I am thankful that the women who are on our executive board are of different sizes, shapes, hair color, eye color, etc. They are unique in their own ways when it comes to looks. I would hope that NONE of them share the same opinion you have.
I am SO thankful that my chapter sisters weren't shallow. We've always accepted anyone as long as they were a fit to the chapter. Maybe there were a few here and there who were definately shallow, but for the most part everyone was welcomed.
If someone, skinny or plus size, had an odd personality that turned everyone off (and I mean EVERYONE because I've known at least one person from every sorority I've ever met that has been like this) then I can see finding something in the back for them to do. But don't tell them. There is no need for hurt feelings. These women are your SISTERS. You are supposed to have a bond with them whether you like them or not. And anyone who feels otherwise should be ashamed of themselves.
