[QUOTE=BabyPiNK_FL;1476197][QUOTE=AlphaGamUGAAlum;1476179]Well, one of the things that might surprise you is the relatively cute appearance of the girls that we might be talking about. What's not up to standard at some SEC chapters might be considered a cute member and good rusher somewhere else (see the regional war, Southern greeks vs. California, etc, threads for further development of this point). And the reverse might be true too; southern girls could seem insubstantial at a mid western recruitment, maybe.

This post reminds me of SEPC (Southeast Panhellenic Conference). I went this year and I saw girls from some of this "Super Southern" chapters that no-offense would have been shunned at my school. They had caked on foundation and blush and looked like children playing dress up with their faces. With spider eye lashes from so much mascara. (Not every single one of them, but some were awful!) I was expecting them to look like...I'm not sure, but better than what I saw simply because their rushes are so cuthroat. I couldn't help but think that if they could wipe some goop off they'd look so much nicer. But I knew that at their school maybe everyone tried to look like that so I just tried my hardest to keep an open mind. I know that if they'd come to my school they'd be schocked at what we wear/do too. Especially cos everyone's Hispanic pretty much. It's all a matter of perception.

Yep, and when people describe what they wear to recruitment, some big difference are evident too.
It's just funny because some chapter's problem members in terms of appearance wouldn't be "problems" by most people's standards, it's just a reflection of whom they are being compared to.
