Do you think that I have a chance of getting in since I have friends who will be pushing for me? Or will the sorority just not allow it because an overweight girl could ruin their reputation? Thankyou for your help!!

I'd say it's more like slithering out from under rocks.

I'm assuming your friend's sorority is "top-tier". Sure your friends can push for you, but the whole sorority has to decide whether they like you enough to extend you a bid. If other sororities are doing informal recruitment, I would highly suggest you check them out too. Don't just join a sorority because they are "top-tier" and have your friends in it. What if you really fall in love with another sorority participating in recruitment?
Wow. Why did I log in this screen name again?

EDIT::
I'm sorry for saying "top tier", I was just trying to get out the point that It is a competitive sorority here and if anyone else who was overweight had any luck or knows anyone who had any luck getting into a "top tier" sorority at their school when they were overweight? And I am not just rushing because my friends are in the sorority I just like the sorority alot and the girls in it seem really nice. I have met alot of them and they have been really nice to me. Im just worried that they will not be able to accept me because I AM overweight? But is that not as big of a deal as I think? Thankyou!

They invited you to an event, not to get married to them. All you can do is go and be yourself. Do you really want to be part of a group that would exclude you for your weight anyway?

No I think the real question is who is Bree Bree and how many times did she rush and not recieve a bid? My guess is at least twice.

Seriously - and why on earth did the OP use her IRL name?
jcubb713, I really try hard not to be the joy killer here, but you pretty much ruined your own chances. Ironically, more because of the Yahoo! question than here, but the super sleuths here did give a larger audience to it.
I wish you luck, but would advise you to maximize your options to the fullest.
