I definately think that looks have an impact on who is invited back and extended membership...but I also think that looks make an even bigger difference from the rushees standpoint. Coming from a school where the top 4 sororities are incredibly selective, and the rest are forced to basically take anyone, I see rushees judging sororities on looks a lot more harshly. For example, girls after being forced to meet all the sororities often choose only to go back to the "pretty ones"...this is a shame since the smaller, "less attractive" sororities are overlooked by girls, and some of these girls are overlooked by the bigger sororities... so there are always a lot of girls that don't get bids from any of their top choices and a lot of sororities that don't get quota. Its really a shame. Even though my chapter is considered "pretty", we in no way discuss the girls looks at rush...although I definately agree that all things being equal, a prettier rushee would most likely get a bid. Does anyone else feel that the rushees are more likely to judge based on looks than the sororities?
