To be honest, it probably does help a rushee to be "attractive", just like it helps a job applicant. That may not be an official criteria for either sorority rushing or job application, but its definitely a factor. This does not mean that anyone is ruled out or judged negatively if they aren't "cute". And, it also doesn't mean that a girl gets in just because she is cute. But, it does mean that all things being equal, it helps.
Face it, people with good looks do have an edge socially. People with lots of money do too. So do people who have influence (i.e., their brother is a big rock star or their dad is a U.S. Senator).
But does any of this change the overall mix. I don't think so. Most sororites have a nice blend of different personalities, backgrounds, financial status, religions, and looks. There arent that many budding Miss Americas who are rich and are a daughter to the Governor coming through rush. That leaves pleanty of room for the rest of us.
