I also believe Xi has missed the complete irony of her judgmental posts. Tee-hee. Not to mention the original question, which was NOT should I be judged by my tattoo but WILL I be in a competitive SEC rush. Maybe Xi would prefer HPRL - I'm sure no one there pays any mind to appearance THERE. I just wonder, too, how a pnm in a Lilly and with her Vera bag would fare at Xi's UC-Berkley chapter.. She'd never admit it, but I'm willing to be the chapter would make a judgment based on her appearance because EVERYONE DOES. Those who think they don't are just fooling themselves.
http://www.asylum.com/photos/ink-that-stinks/481213/ If you do this to yourself, you are SCREAMING "Look at me! Look at me!" - so don't be surprised when people do, and draw conclusions.
And the lofty age of 25 is still awfully soon to say you will never regret your tattoos. Maybe you won't - and that's fine. But as DSTChaos has pointed out, this is not about YOU. You are a new poster - may I recommend you lurk a bit and interest yourself in some other topics? At this point you are coming off as both defensive and offensive - and although you've said essentially you are out of this argument, I will be interested to see if you can indeed just let this thread be about the op, and not in some justification of yourself.
Ah, to be young again.
eta - and of what sorority are you a member, Xibutterfly? I notice that Alpha Xi Delta is no longer there.
