Many qualified candidates may apply for the position, but the hiring is limited. It doesn't even HAVE to mean "we" don't like them, it's just that there are others "we" like better or relate to more readily.

I would just like to mention that it is illegal not to hire someone or to fire someone because they are pregnant, specifically because employers were using the same justifications on this board to discriminate against pregnant women. Women spent lots of time fighting to make that type of discrimination illegal, which makes it very ironic that educated college women themselves would be engaging in this type of discrimination.
I'm not saying I'm perfect or that it wouldn't probably take me a minute to overcome my natural prejudices ("she won't have the time or money for a sorority") but I hope that I would have the intelligence to look past that and judge her on her personality and ability to be a good sister.
