All I was saying with the concern about overweight people was that: I would seriously consider them on basis of personality above all, since I know that overeating is indeed a compulsive disorder stemming from loneliness. I know, because I suffer from it too.
HOWEVER I reserve the right to express my concern over NMs and actives who moan and groan and do nothing to show they've tried. I would care if I knew of medical problems their family suffered from (in which case I'd go into ultra-mommy mode- I swear, I need a pet to channel my energies into) If they keep to a healthy diet and exercise but still can't bring their weight down, then more power to them for being healthier than some of my skinnier sisters.
At the same time, those who don't eat healthily enough, either in variety or quantity, often find themselves being gently coaxed into an extra dish of much needed nutrients. We had a bulimic sister who subsisted on nothing but doritos and diet coke. This was of HUGE concern to everyone and we did our best to help her.
I think I'm meandering here, but I'll say it again: I don't care about the weight of PNMs (if I worried about everyone I came across I'd be exhausted), but once they become my sisters, they're family. And being family means you do your best for one another.
I'm glad everyone on here is openminded. That SigepStud guy has, unfortunately, a point: I love SigEps as much as anyone, but on some campuses looks are indeed a factor. Isn't that at least partially true at the uber competitive schools? I'm guessing from the all the comments on GC about huge southern rushes, since I go to school in the north.
