She's loud, rude, obnoxious, swears like a sailor, has rank B.O., no manners, sloppy clothes, bad reputation, criminal record, whatever. The exact opposite of a lady.
isnt that kinda sexist and elitist? or is it okay, because youre "allowed" to include/exclude on these grounds?

what if a potential rushee has some of these attributes as a legacy (or even if she wasnt)?

ex. lets say she smells really bad, klutzy, swears, and committed a crime. shes a great person otherwise, has the GPA, and a legacy. then what? i mean, a lot of girls swear, greek or not. and a lot of girls smell, greek or not. is said prospective not a lady, therefore not greek-worthy? of course its not cut and dry, but some of these attributes cant be helped, maybe they arent aware its a problem, or cant help it (the less fortunate tend to have sloppier clothes, and i can legitimately say this.)

another example: lets say shes fat. and by fat im talking obese (once again in can legitimately say this) technically this isnt considered 'ladylike,' but do u exclude her? or how about if she had a short buzz cut? how abot 9 tattoos, and piercings on her face? not things u exactly associate with being a lady, but do u exclude these ppl?

dont insult her femininity or self worth on the basis of her flaws or what you dont think is ladylike. (cause we all have them)


i could go on and on. just my 2cents.
