I think I am going to have to make a new thread re-framing this scenario better. It appears that all the readers are seeing the scenario differently and many are personalizing it.
All women that I know think they are fatter than they should be. Even the ones in objectively stellar condition, not just thin, but athletic. In an absolute sense I suppose they are all correct.
Even among figure models and other people genuinely viewed as aesthetically pleasing there is always room for improvement.
Oddly, the people in the best shape are often the most obsessed with striving for being better. And the people that are actually and obviously fatter tend to be the most defensive about it.
So if you tell a fitness person they are fat they agree with you and talk about their plan to correct the problem. If you tell your average fatter person they are fat they often wax indignant. Odd eh?
In this case I think people see someone say that heavier girls might be excluded from Rush and they either think of themselves, or picture heavy as something "less heavy" than is probably meant. Especially in a world where "Muffin Tops" may now be "average."

Where there is a will, there is a way, and people don't have to sacrifice ideals to recruit successfully. If people do away with basic principles, then they are doing no great service to their founders, who probably sacrificed greatly to found the organization in the first place.
