The pressures for young women are always "difficult" but each campus is different.

We only want to make sure that they don't make these mistakes going in

What? Are you saying that there are schools where, during rush, sorority members will peer into rushees' clothing to check the label to see what sizes they are wearing?

I am not saying that at all I am saying we are offering rushees advice and that certain schools do place more emphasis on looks.

Where you joined your sisterhood may be different from the way things are done elsewhere...

I think what she's looking for is "did you go to a school with a competitive rush system?" so if you don't want to disclose your school, fine, but I think it's an interesting point to make.

I'm gonna step down from my soapbox now

It's an interesting point how?

Listen, I was responding to this comment:

a lot of times girls will buy a smaller size than they really are because they don't want anyone to know that they're bigger

I'm saying that in the rush context, that is ridiculous because unless you went to some jacked up school, no sorority member rushing you could possibly know what size clothing you are wearing.

young women have insecurities about their dress size, I was told you did not rush and are an AI and by that point hopeully looks and weight are not as imoportant when selecting women to join. It is just different

What's the point of creating a troll identity to make posts like these?

I don't think she was specifically referring to dress size when she ask the question, rather how much the sororities took appearance into consideration.

At my school, if you shacked with a fraternity boy, he would wake up in the middle of the night, cut the tags out of your jeans, and send them to all the sororities. By the time rush started, everybody knew that you were wearing a size two when you were actually a four. This is why you shouldn't shack, ladies.

And don't call my school jacked up. It's just a different culture here. You couldn't possibly understand it unless you went here.

I assure you I am not a troll. I have read the threads before and posted under an older name, but I do not remember the handle. You are an AI though correct? If bringing up that fact is offensive in anyways then I apologize, I did not mean to insult you by saying you were an AI.

OK WOW, before this gets way to heated. And, before we all make the "shallow sorority girl" theory correct. The point of appearance being important is that. . . .

LOOK as nice as you can in whatever you wear. You are more then likely joining a sorority that is the most "like you." Would you want to join a social orgainzation that doesn't take care of themselves? Would you want to join a chapter that doesnt know how to groom theirselves or doesn't know how to dress.

My personal experience on the sororities side is NOT that we didn't want "fat girls" it was that we didnt was "nasty girls."

There are some girls that went through recruitment that were maybe slim but not slim enough to wear a "shortie" skirt or a girl that should try to wear sleeves, instead of one of those "summer" sleeveless numbers. Not that we would release them but that would be all we would remember. I mean hello 1st impressions matter.

So, dress for success. Wear something comfortable and attractive. If a sorority releases you because you are wearing a 10 instead of a 6 then don't worry about it. (I don't think that happens)

I assure you you ARE.

Dee34 said girls would buy a smaller size because they don't want anyone to know they are bigger.

Valkyrie didn't understand what that has to do with the discussion because unless the sorority sisters are sticking their heads down your shirts and pants to see the tags, no one will know what size you're wearing,

It had NOTHING to do with whether or not appearance is important or AIs or skepi or Dalia Terry or anything, it had to do with Dee having a faulty line of logic.

Thank you, drive through.

That's just rude!

Why is it that you and Valkyrie just don't get what she's saying? No one suggested that the girls are going to look at anyone's clothing tags. What she was saying is don't try to squeeze into clothing that's too small for you.

Now THAT would be a story for the weird rush stories thread!

I see what ya'll are saying here but I do believe everyone misunderstood what she said. She is simply trying to say that PNMs (or anyone for that matter) should wear clothes that are flattering on their body type. Size doesnt matter in my opinion but if i were to see say a size 4 girl stuffed into a size 00 pants I wouldn't know what size she is wearing, however I would know that the pants are obviously too small.

Well ladies take care
