I think most chapters would prefer a cheerleader over someone in the honors program, to be honest.

Hey, both these girls were both!

I'm sure we all know brilliant kids, valedictorians even, who went to college and flunked out for various reasons. Maybe that's what the sororities feared, or else that the girls wouldn't have the time to devote to the house.

I thought it was interesting that the only guy who went Greek did have to drop out of his house and off the tennis team because he was flunking out. I don't even remember if he finished the program but it seems like only half of the originals did.

Is that because cheerleaders are typically attractive/good body and a girl in a honors program is assumed to not be a hottie?

Being a cheerleader these days is about a LOT more than being attractive, especially if your HS/university has a competitive cheer squad. I mean obviously you'll be fit and in shape but some competitive cheerleaders are far from the drop dead gorgeous stereotype. It's about your skills and athleticism, not your face.

Disagree. I think it depends on the chapter/campus. Sure, chapter members who are visible and involved on campus are a plus, but grades are very important. So someone who has been accepted to a prestigous honors program would be desirable, imo.
