Well, I would say the cheerleading squad and such are choosing based on talent and skill.

Umm, let me tell you about my friend who held multiple state twirling championships yet didn't make my college's majorette squad. She was told she didn't have the "right look."
Or my sister who won a lead role in a theater production because she was perfect for it, but had to give up one of her performances to her understudy because she wasn't a theater major and her understudy was.
There are politics and shallowness in every single group and every single facet of life. Greeks need to stop beating ourselves up. We simply want to live and spend time with people who we're comfortable with - and if a girl who is a super duper clothing person and is totally interested in fashion comes through rush dressed like a rag bag, it's just as fake as the girl who doesn't care about clothes who gets all super glam. Some greek systems as a whole put more emphasis on image than others. IMO that's no different than some schools putting more emphasis on athletics than others. Think about what you want out of a school before you choose.
