As a PNM, I really want to be part of a group that's full of vivacious, talented, intelligent young women... and if the majority of them are good looking, well, that's just gravy, isn't it?

Wow, Annie, that just rocked!
Yes, of course, appearance is truly important...and yes, wanting women who look their best and are physically attractive is important. It's important in the "real world" so of course it is important to sororities and fraternities. But, it may not be "important" in the ways you may expect it to be. Appearance is looking
good--neat and clean clothing, no missing buttons, tears or rips ever. It's always putting your best face forward, sweaky clean, tasteful and neat makeup if you choose to wear it. It's general grooming, neat hair, a clean and sweet smelling person
.
Think about it, which is more attractive: a girl who looks like a supermodel with tons of makeup on and hems up to
here and necklines plunging to
there 
? Or is it a girl who looks pleasant, clean and neat at all times? If a girl shows through her appearance that she takes pride in herself, regardless of what genetics may or may not have given her, that rocks. It's the gorgeous girls and the plain janes who don't put their "best faces forward" that would concern me more than just a girl who's super sweet but not model-quality. Am I making sense?
A PNM may not be a beauty queen, but as long as she's well put together that's the most important thing for me. If she's not well put together, physically attractive or not, human nature tends to make you think less of her.
