Too fat to recruit: or, DePauw, the Sequel

[33girl]

Well, say she and the other fat/fugly/what have you girls stay away from rush. The sorority does great with their "new image" and gets a pledge class full of adorable girls.

Then when those adorable girls show up for bid day, they notice that there are 1) sorority members that they haven't met before 2) most of those members are less attractive than the members who rushed them.

What are these new girls going to think? Don't you think they'll feel more than a bit taken, hoodwinked, bamboozled, etc? I would.

AnchorAlumna, what if this girl has a sparkling personality and tells the funniest stories ever and can put any rushee at ease? What if the "pretty" girls are bumps on logs? I wonder if the national consultant looked at that.

Just a thought: What if your "fat/fugly/what have you girls" are Rho Gammas? They would show up at Bid Day, too. They may have met some of the NMs but not all. Are all Rho Gammas volunteers or do their GLOs choose them?

That's another story--unfortunately, some are voted on, and can be forced into the duty by a chapter, too.
