Obviously, it varies a lot from campus to campus, but the op-ed writer and the letter writer are just talking about theirs, and in her case, just her one chapter. Her pledge class did not need to learn anything about hair straightening or makeup or fitness -- or orthodontia or bone structure, for that matter. I'm not saying that they're all Miss Universe, but it's a really attractive group of freshmen.
I don't think it's inherently wrong to take that into account -- I just think it's wrong to do it and then deny it.
MUCH better. If she'd put it that way, I'd agree with her 100%, and the letter would have been a lot more convincing. She made it too easy to dismiss the whole letter as PR spin, so her good points won't get the weight they deserve.

You've also never seen an entire PNM pool that looks the way the ones in the SEC do. It's about self-selection.
It's not all about looks but looks can help if you have a lighter than average resume or no connections. Looks won't help you if you're an itch or known as your town's ho bag.
