Well, maybe that's discrimination, too.

Well what if this girl is an emotional overeater and she eats because she is lonely and all she wants is a group of close friends. Maybe if she was able to be a part of a sisterhood she would be able to lose the weight because she would have the support and friendship she was looking for.
I read your other post and you said that you're sisters called you "mom". I'm glad you're concerned for you sisters well being, and that's great. But it doesn't make any sense that you would turn away an overweight girl because you were concerned about her. "I'm sorry, you'd make a great sister but we can't have you be a part of our house because we're concerned about your health." How odd does that sound. I would think if the chapter thought she would make a great sister you would welcome her with open arms and say something like "welcome to the chapter. We're really glad you here. A couple of sisters and I are going to work out next week then try this new healthy recipie I found. Why don't you join us". You might find that all this girl needed was a friend who cared to get her going to getting down to a more healthy weight.
