That in and of itself is "different" enough to scare rushees away from the chapter, if we're operating on the principle that different = kiss of death.
Bottom line, if your chapter's numbers are a lot smaller than the other groups' to begin with, keeping the "image impaired" ladies away from rush isn't going to help your recruitment. You have to explain it in some way and it would be better to use your time thinking of a positive spin to put on that than figuring out who's skinny enough to rush and who is not.

You make a great point here. If the chapter has 100 as opposed to another chapter's 150, one missing member might not be a huge deal because the chapter isn't THAT much smaller. But what if the chapter does have 80 when the others have 200? At a lot of schools, in-the-know PNMs are probably going in planning to cut this house after round one anyway, so it probably wouldn't help or hurt to have this member rushing people.
