I can't say that I've "rejected" or not voted for someone because they were ugly, fat, or even disabled, but I also won't get all Delta self-righteous and say it never happens. That's a part of life and greek organizations can succumb to that as well. But I am strongly affected by the way an applicant presents herself in an interview - especially at the alumnae level. It can be hard to forget stuttering, ghetto speech, a lisp or someone who isn't dressed well. Especially when you move around - in some places certain hairstyles and clothing are considered "business-like" and those same styles are considered "party clothes" or "ghetto hair" someplace else. If I see someone at a Rush or an interview with an updo that looks like a person can fit inside, I think it's tacky, but someone else might think it's nice. I'm also bothered by the "natural hair" trend when the hair is unruly - I don't have a problem with un-permed hair, but keep it neat!!
