That's a great line, but I'm sorry, I call BS on the notion that "Joining a sorority is not about the way someone looks. It is about their confidence in themselves, grades from high school, involvement in extracurriculars and reputation throughout a community." If you look at the pledge class pictures from this letter-writer's chapter, it's obvious that selection is about confidence, grades, involvement, reputation, AND looks. Does she really think it's plausible that a group of 250+ young women chosen blindly would have so many size 4s with great hair and gorgeous smiles out of pure coincidence? (The SEC has a lot of pretty girls, but come on -- they aren't all 8s and 9s.) Would it be so bad to acknowledge reality and say that looks are one of many factors that can play a role in rush, and defend why sororities are worthwhile anyway?
