Sophie,
Though I'm only a rushee, I wanted to tell you that it sounds like to me that you know who you are. You are passionate about what you want and you seem to be for the most part happy with your appearence. Yes, so many girls our age struggle with weight issues and so many take it to the extreme. However, if you are secure with the person you are, and it sounds like you are to me, my advice would be to go for it. I know plenty of girls that aren't a size 4 (or anywhere near it) in some of the best sororities at my school. When it comes down to it, all you have to do is let your inner beauty shine through. If a group is not willing to overlook a few physical faults (when no one is perfect, even if they are skinny), then maybe that group is not the group for you. Yes, some groups do concern themselves with issues such as weight, but there are plenty that don't. Be yourself and don't worry about things you can't change. I am positive that you will find a group that likes you for YOU, and not because of the number of a clothing tag! Good luck! (ps what school are you rushing??)

Settle for unhappiness and slowly start to die, Hiding in the shadows with ghosts in your eyes, Yeah you're nearly out of time, you've got no reason got no rhyme,
Never too late to change your fate and walk that Narrow Line.
