So, your org takes anyone who walks through the door? Interesting . . .
and might I add that NPC membership selection is 1.) private and 2.) more complicated than a tattoo. The op asked a question, and it was answered realistically. In competitive recruitments small things may matter. EVERYONE makes judgements on seemingly small things - if you apply for some jobs a tattoo will count against you. Whether it is fair or not, the fact is that the first impression you make is hard to overcome if it is negative.

I dont know if you were talking about me but if you were, of course the answer is no. We take ladies that show a legitimate interest in our organization, live their life according to the morals set forth by our org, and will be a benefit to our sisterhood. c'mon now. just because we dont deny people for frivolous reasons (which is the point i've been trying to make by the way) doesnt mean we dont deny people at all. as im sure is true with most organizations, greek or not.

As you stated, you have NO IDEA what goes into NPC membership selection. You admitted that, but can't seem to stop commenting. You are not helping the original poster - so what is your point?
NPC groups have literally hundreds - sometimes thousands - of young women who want to be members. In order to preserve the sisterhood that is such an important part of our groups, we have to limit our size. Just because that isn't your GLO's problem doesn't mean you should comment on those groups who do have it. We can have so many otherwise qualified women coming thorugh recruitment that seemingly small things like tattoos might come into play. And again, appearance does count, in recruitment, in job interviews, in life. It is neither good nor bad, it just IS. And if your appearance is going to reflect on our group, then it is something that has to be considered. It shouldn't, imho, be the most important, but realistically speaking it is a factor. Everyone here has stated that it shouldn't cost you a bid, but it could count against you. So, original poster, covering it up would be in your best interest.

So you never ever ever denied someone membership because you just plain didn't like her - even if she fit all the above requirements?

Yep. That's what I thought.
