It's amazing how people change in four years, and as others have said, being around people with a good eye for fashion can really wear off on you. I remember there was an older girl in my chapter who was a knock-out and was really trendy. I came across her freshman composite and almost fell over! She didn't look like the same person -- we're talking Coke bottle glasses and big bangs! But with a little help, she really blossomed.
I often kept that in the back of my mind during rush when I'd have ill thoughts about someone's appearance. Things do change with time. Remember, beauty is not permanant. I saw some of the most beautiful freshmen turn into toads by their senior year because they drank too much, went tanning too much, and lived on a junk-food diet.
The only thing that seems to sustain itself is a sense of humor and compassion - those things rarely change.
