You need to get a life. constantly judging people by something so arbitary as looks is only going to give you superfiscal friends. You really need to consider judging people based on things such as personality, liked interest, etc.
Now I will admit to being somewhat self consious at times, but I don't chose friends based on looks. Of course I think all my friends are beautiful, and you may not agree.
How can you expect women to ever really gain equal footing with men in the "real world" if we always hold our selfs to such unrealistic views of perfection.
sorry I just get really pissed that women constantly feel the need to judge ourselves and teach younger women these same values!! 
I am done ranting.

Is it really necessary for you to be so hypercritical of a person who came on here to ask a legitimate question? Get a life is all you have to say? Have you never been 17 or 18 and concerned with your appearance? I deal with teen girls EVERY DAY who worry about this, and while I am a 28 year old woman, secure with who I am I remember how it felt to "not fit in" or not feel like I was pretty because of my own image issues. The only thing that I can tell these women is to start becoming secure with who they are and what they become, not to get a life. What kind of a mentor and teacher would I be if my response was like yours?
Honeymoon,
Yes, those things can be prevalent, but if you are a strong woman you can be who you are ans everything will be cool. Sororities don't "cause" bulimia, nor do they cause depression. If anything I find they are the women who will be there to help you out if a problem like that arises. Best wishes to you at USC, it's a great school and I'm sure that you will have a wonderful experience there. All of the sororities there are amazing!
Cheers!
