It's unfortunate that there are organizations out there that will recruit women based solely on the size of their jeans and how beautiful they are. I am not nieve, I know this goes on. However if this goes on on your campus, you have to ask yourself if this is the kind of organization that I want to belong to? If it is fine. To each his or her own. If it's not, then find somewhere else to go, or start an organization of your own. It can be done. I think it's great idea if GLO's discussed healthy lifesyles. Being at university is tough on everyone and it's difficult to find time to excersise and eat right. However, forcing your pledges to go on a weight loss program is awful. Being "overweight" doesn not mean that you cannot look beautiful, feel great, dress nicely, etc, etc. If a sorority has to force girls to go on a weightloss program because they are not living up to XYZ's ideals, maybe XYZ has to rethink it's ideal.
