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.)

There's a difference between being a woman and being ladylike which you don't seem to grasp.
And anyway - taking care of yourself, as in taking regular showers or baths, and not cussing like crazy in front of people you barely know isn't just ladylike - it's peoplelike!! If you haven't mastered these basic social skills perhaps an institution of higher learning (let alone a Greek org) is not the place for you. If she's a "great person" I would think she would be cognizant enough to pick up on the fact that these things will hinder her in life.
Even if you're in debt up to your eyeballs, if you can manage to get to college you can keep yourself clean and neat and be polite.
