Very interesting thread...

I hate to bring up the weight issue again, but I had a thought for why overweight girls are more likely to be cut than "ugly" girls.

There seems to be a perception in society that "fat people" are only fat because they are lazy.

Therefore, girls may cut girls who are overweight because subconsciously, they feel like the have no motivation and are "lazy couch potatoes" - therefore would not be good sisters.

I know that for SoCal rush (especially USC and UCLA) image is a huge part for many of the sororities. A lot of it is that in Southern California, there are so many beautiful girls, who also have amazing personalities to boot.
Eh, I doubt anyone is really thinking in terms of lazy. I think it's purely superficial. I also think that it's much easier to tell, objectively, whether someone is overweight or obese than it is to tell if someone is ugly. "Ugly" is subjective.

I hate to even be saying this, but you know, we should be honest that at some schools, looks matter. A lot.
