Obviously this wouldn't be true for some sororities, i know that; i'm just going off of what i've read/heard. I originally wanted to try and join one to meet new people but now i'm nervous they will take one look at me and make up their minds - i couldn't stand that kind of humiliation. So what i am asking if for HONEST opinions, will i be rejected from a sorority because i'm fat? Are most of the girls in a sorority skinny? Will i be judged?

This is one of those things where you just have to do it and see what happens. If you don't try, you definitely won't get a bid.

I will say this though: Think about it. it's statistcally impossible for every woman in a school's entire Greek system to be a stick skinny girl. So the "all the girls in sororities are skinny" thing is a myth.

Another thing to note: if you aren't confident in yourself and don't present yourself well because you're worried about your weight, that can hurt you more than anything.
