The spring rush is invite only and I was invited, but I am very nervous because I am overweight (5'7 and 190 pounds) and rush is very competitive here. Do you think that I have a chance of getting in since I have friends who will be pushing for me? Or will the sorority just not allow it because an overweight girl could ruin their reputation? Thankyou for your help!!



EDIT::
I'm sorry for saying "top tier", I was just trying to get out the point that It is a competitive sorority here and if anyone else who was overweight had any luck or knows anyone who had any luck getting into a "top tier" sorority at their school when they were overweight? And I am not just rushing because my friends are in the sorority I just like the sorority alot and the girls in it seem really nice. I have met alot of them and they have been really nice to me. Im just worried that they will not be able to accept me because I AM overweight? But is that not as big of a deal as I think? Thankyou!

Nope! No fatties allowed! Get your @ss to the gym, tubby...

Sounds like a "bottom tier" girl tryin' to be in a "top tier" group...Maybe you should worry about doing well in school and not being such a loser online.

Why do all these girls who are "bottom tier" material insist on trying to be in "top tier" chapters? Guess what, even beautiful girls join "bottom tier" chapters because many of those girls join simply because they want the sisterhood and the chance to help out with Philanthropy (I'm talkin' to YOU Penn State Greeks who are doing THON soon)....

Just because a chapter is #1 on your campus doesn't mean it is #1 at another school around the corner! Get over yourself and work on having better self-esteem and not feeling the need to be picked up by the "popular" or "top tier" girls in order to feel like you matter. With your attitude, good luck getting into ANY sorority.

Way harsh, Tai.

I disagree anf think you are being harsh. Sounds like an inexperienced freshman transfer (weren't we all inexperienced at one point?) who wants to fit in. The group she wants may not even be top tier but she thinks they are wonderful. I also didn't think this girl was one of the slugs we've seen - she may be legit. I think the yahoo answers people are far more entertaining!

Sounds like you wouldn't let her into your Junior League chapter either - well, she can join my top tier Junior League chapter then.

This made NO sense. We are talking about GLOs and not Junior Leagues. I guess I was unaware that the Junior League chapters were ranked in tiers, as well. For you to make that comment makes me wonder what that means you are saying about the chapter of your GLO in comparison to your Junior League chapter. I love my Junior League chapter, as well as, my collegiate and alumnae chapters of my GLO. What an odd comment to make.

FWIW, I wouldn't trash talk your GLO, either. Because my cousin is a member of your organization, I wouldn't say anything hateful about it. Keep that in mind.

As far as this girl wanting to be in a "top tier" chapter, you said that the group she wants may not even be top tier. Ummmm...Did you READ the TITLE of the thread? If you did, I'm sure you'd see why I said what I said.
