The chapters at my alma mater were full of all sorts of different women. There was not one that was the "prettier" one or anything. But there were two chapters that did pick the same types of women. They gravitated towards each other because they tended to party together, do drugs together, and knew the same guys. That was the saddest display of sisterhood and Greek Life I've ever seen.
Now, with this said, I think there is a really disturbing trend that I am seeing on the board. I am NOT talking about anyone in particular. I have seen this sort of thing posted "The guys/women picked tend to be prettier, it's just a fact." It's that "fact" part that I find to be a cop-out. The sun is a star, that's a fact. 2+2=4, that's a fact. The things you are talking about are things that can be changed, but no one does because they don't want to question the status quo. I think leaders emerge by challenging the status quo. Doesn't anyone want to be a leader? I hear such ennui and placency in that "it's just a fact" statement. I hope that attitude is not the standard in your chapters because it could be the death of your campus' Greek system!
