You're right. It's not in the spirit of sisterhood.
I wouldn't be sorry about speaking my mind (as you have done) - I'd be sorry that I didn't give sisterhood a chance, and get to know my pledge-sister. You obviouly look up to the sorority, you accepted their bid.
Do you know everything of your sorority's vision, their purpose, their goals? Do you really know yet what they're looking for in a sister? If you're not an intiated member yet (I presume not, since you just received your bid, I'm assuming you're still going through education), then you don't know it in full. It's not yours (or anyone else's) place to question why a particular girl got a bid. Obviously, your future sisters found her to be a valuable future sister. Being greek is a privilege, not a right...
one that both you and your pledge sister have earned.
Find respect for the sisterhood that extended you a bid, and find respect for
yourself. And please, do some soul-searching. The myth about greek life being all glamour and looks stems from just this kind of close-minded prejudice.
This is an opportunity for you, in more ways than one - be sure and make the most of it.
