The spring rush is invite only and I was invited, but I am very nervous because I am overweight (5'7 and 190 pounds) and rush is very competitive here. 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!!



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!

Nope! No fatties allowed! Get your @ss to the gym, tubby...

Sounds like a "bottom tier" girl tryin' to be in a "top tier" group...Maybe you should worry about doing well in school and not being such a loser online.

Why do all these girls who are "bottom tier" material insist on trying to be in "top tier" chapters? Guess what, even beautiful girls join "bottom tier" chapters because many of those girls join simply because they want the sisterhood and the chance to help out with Philanthropy (I'm talkin' to YOU Penn State Greeks who are doing THON soon)....

Just because a chapter is #1 on your campus doesn't mean it is #1 at another school around the corner! Get over yourself and work on having better self-esteem and not feeling the need to be picked up by the "popular" or "top tier" girls in order to feel like you matter. With your attitude, good luck getting into ANY sorority.
