This is what I tend to notice in chapters who have the "fat" reputation. Pretty much EVERYTHING in sorority stereotyping is an exaggeration.

It's never like XYZ has 50 women and 40 of them are the same size as Mimi from the Drew Carey show.

It's like XYZ has 50 women and 40 of them = size 6 or 8. Then 10 them are like a size 10-12 tops (or something bigger than the average-ish 6 or 8.)

Ergo, XYZ is "fat."

It's really funny, actually. Because the way people talk about the "fat" sorority, you'd think every single girl in the chapter was a burger away from a gastric bypass. It's all exaggerated.

Just like (example) out of 50 women, ONE girl in ABC drives a silver Lexus and has a Birkin bag. And you always see that one ABC in her new range rover that was a graduation present and you saw her being rude to the Starbucks guy one day before class. Ergo ABC is now the rich, snobby bitch sorority.
