Personally, I'd almost rather that she not tell us which chapter it is. Her "brutal honesty" about them isn't particularly flattering, though I doubt that the chapter deserves it. I'd rather not see them embarrassed here.

There's a phrase that people use regarding wealth/beauty/popularity that escapes me right now. It goes something like, if you really have "it", you don't need to talk about it.
If this is true, that the OP preferred one sorority over most because of the way the girls looked at the parties, she's in for a shock. Relationships based on superficial things don't go anywhere. According to her story, she made choices based on something that is skin-deep.
The models in Elle and other fashion magazines spend hours in a makeup chair getting their faces spackled and their hair tortured and teased. It takes a team of professionals hours to make the already beautiful/thin/striking girls into the glamour dolls you see in advertisements.
I'd laugh if half the girls weren't as "put together" most days as they were in recruitment (there are people that keep that up, but the likelihood that 200 of them are in any one organization). They, too, were putting on appearances. But what about the other 51 weeks a year? What if someone had a nasty acne outbreak? Would the OP avoid being seen with her? Or if one of the girl's parents lost a high-paying job and couldn't get her mani/pedi/facial/massage/tanning every week or had to stop buying designer clothes?
Lastly, I looked at some of the pictures of the new Auburn pledge classes, and visited a bunch of the chapter websites. While every one had a lot of pretty girls, none of them were full of "model-types" or full of "frumpy" girls.
