Sophie-
Unfortunately there are chapters that take appearance more into consideration than personality, grades and activities.
Be confident, upbeat and interested. Make sure your clothes fit well, are clean, pressed, etc. and go for it. Don't try and wear the same trendy stuff you might see on a size 2. Wear things that are flattering and comfortable for YOU, not the current Seventeen cover model. Check out a copy of Girl or Mode magazine if you haven't already. Those mags are FANTASTIC. :-)
I have always been more,hmm, shapely than most and never found it to be a hindrance. If a chapter cut me because they didn't like my dress size, then screw 'em - it's not a group I'd want to be associated with in the first place.
From one real woman to another - good luck!
