I agree totally with your statement, and I tried to make that point above. I wish every chapter on every campus could totally be themselves, and make quota doing so, but that just isn't the case.

I'm also starting to think that you mean a freak show level of unattractiveness rather than simply being less than ideal. At the point that someone is turning people off the group from across the room, maybe we're not talking about the same thing.
ETA: I'm really thinking about it. I've never known a member I(or a severely limited number of members) who was so different from the rest of the group in appearance that you could "hide" her or them and gain a big advantage. Describe what we're talking about here DBB. I'm not going to judge you for it, I promise.

Hahaha, I am not going to post pics or anything, but let's say you have a chapter of 30 and 2 women are fairly overweight. I know they may be great girls, but those two women would be enough, on some campuses, to earn you the reputation of "the fat sorority".
You bring up a whole separate issue, though. Is it better to not bid these women at all than to bid them and then ask them to be your computer committee the following year?

That's fine, but I certainly hope you don't need 50 women paying rent to keep your chapter house. Some of us do.
