I think her perception is fair. The problem is part of our unspoken mission is to fix some perceptions. While there certainly are more than enough examples of very strong, competitive chapters also being the stereotypical tall thin blondes on campus, repeating it is not helpful. It's not panhellenic and doesn't support "our mission" of helping all women of quality become successful members of their sororities, regardless of size or perceived strength of the chapter. It's kind of like talking about the family you're not part of. It's fair to see those stereotypes; it's not to repeat it here.
As an academic, I think she probably does have valuable insight to provide. Just not in this aspect of sorority life. The guys will occasionally insert an outsider's perspective, for instance, and what they say can be valid. But telling us how it is in membership selection? They would get called out too. And have.
