To PhoenixAzul, I don't think it's so much being ashamed of members but rather understanding who the best reruiters are. If I remember correctly, you are a member of a local at a non-competitive school which probably explains the confusion. At larger, competitive schools it's not just competitive for the PNMs to get the chapters they want...it's also competitive for the chapters to get certain PNMs. Therefore some sisters are more effective recruiters than others and they are utilized more. I feel it's a by-product of frills recruitment...you want every advantage you can get.
I don't think this has nearly as much to do with looks as it does with conversation. We have several girls that have such incredible social skills that they can have effective conversations with everybody...they could make just about anybody feel like they had just met their long-lost twin. We also had drop-dead gorgeous girls who, although fun at chapter events, were shy or came off as stuck-up when recruiting women.
I think in more competitive recruitments the chapters have to work as a team...certain members are stellar recruiters and can convince star PNMs to join, certain members are extremely talented and can be utilized in skits, some are super organized and are a God-send behind the scenes, etc. It has nothing to do with their "worth" in the chapter.
