I think we all know that generally attractive people have an advantage and that it seems that weight would figure in to that too.
But we all know overweight people or less attractive people who we know are very competent or who on a personal level we even, dare I say it, love?
That's what's so craptacular about what was suggested in the first post. Despite actually choosing and knowing this young woman as a sorority sister, the group said simply and apparently without much explanation that she should just stay away. And even recognizing that you have to sometimes hurt people's feelings to have a good recruitment, that's just not acceptable.
