I knew a girl at Auburn--a beautiful girl, who had been the biggest fish ever at her high school, and whether this is PC to say or not, the high school happened to be on the "wrong side of the tracks" (she grew up in my hometown, and back then the alums had a lot to say about who their SEC actives rushed) and was dropped by all the "top tier" sororities, and for whatever reason got released from rush. Come bid day she took a snap bid to one of the "not good" sororities. This girl was beautiful, articulate, intelligent, and quite frankly the prettiest girl in that sorority. They put her up for EVERYTHING, and being outstanding as she was, she got EVERYTHING..this made quite an impression on me. I saw many girls who had been huge fish in their high school ponds become just another fish in the pond in their "top tier" groups, while this girl racked up many prestigious honors, like War Eagle Girl and Glom Beauty. When my girls were going through rush I made sure they knew this story because there are lots of lessons here, and sometimes being a "big fish in a little pond" is not a bad place to be!

I think this is an awesome sentiment! I think a lot of these girls think they are above these non-"top tier" chapters. Too bad...they often miss out on a lot if they refuse to join a chapter that actually wants them!

I tried to Google and it asked me if I meant "Glam Beauty". Typo maybe?
ETA: I think she means this...

The Glomerata is Auburn's yearbook. So a "Glom Beauty" is a yearbook beauty.

no, definitely not a typo. guess you'd have to be from the south to know what miss glomerata was at auburn! it's like a beauty pageant. all the sororities nominate girls to represent their chapter at the event. it's sponsored by the year book.

If I remember correctly, the winner goes on to compete in the Miss Auburn University pagent (whitch feeds into Miss Alabama and then Miss America.). I think Delta Sigma Phi's Miss Fall Rush pageant does as well.
