Okay, I have watched this thread and kept quiet. I agree with a lot of what others have said about superficial PNMs.
Preface: I am not stick thin, nor obese, just me, size 10-12 American Woman.
No one has yet to say that:
WE LIVE IN AN OVERWEIGHT SOCIETY
You can search the web, listen to the news, whatever. It is no secret. I couldn't find exact percentages for 18 year old women. But, we all know that all over America, we have a weight problem, SEC or not.
Admittedly, no one wants to join to "fat chick" house. But, I remember a sister of mine who was thin and 6 feet and told the anorexic blond popular house during rush that her father was in "waste management" so she wouldn't get invited back. Her father actually had a different job, so, yah she lied, but, you get the point.
By having these weight standards and removing the fat chicks, greeks are further enhancing their elitist image and distancing themselves from the true reality of our society. Instead this could be an opportunity for greeks to step up.
I see a lot about legacies, daughter, sisters, nieces, and other PNM going through recruitment that they judge houses, let alone people, based on weight.
What are we doing to teach our legacies, daughters, sisters, nieces, and other PNM not to judge houses, let alone people, based on weight?
We can say it is just their age, but, it starts somewhere, not necessarily at home, but, somewhere.
As for the SEC, ironically, this is one of the most overweight regions in the country. This link is dated but will do the trick;
