ONGOING RECRUITMENT ISSUES

[NYCMS]

Does anyone know how this policy evolved? Not asking for confidential info, but if anyone has some inkling.

I heard about this "looks" standard a few years ago when some of my Gamma Phi sisters had daughters rush at our alma mater, Arizona. Looking at pics of the Arizona Alpha Phi chapter, they seem to meet the standard in what the ELC wants - they all resemble each other, tall, long hair, very pretty. I noted the same look at one of their newest SEC chapters. I heard that Kourtney Khardashian was a member at the Arizona chapter years ago - wondering if that added a glamour factor that evolved into what we know now. I've heard that this is the chapter where this all began.

When I was at Arizona in the late 70's, Alpha Phi was a great group of girls with lots of academic talent, campus involvement, etc. And like all the chapters on campus - some very pretty girls, some cute, some a bit average, all solid sisters, not focused on looks. What a difference a few decades make.

Yes. I follow this account. It is good information. Everyone should follow that account IMO if they want to better understand how and why Alpha Phi is what it is. Creepy and horrible to its volunteers.

I noted the same look exactly at one of their newest SEC chapters. One thing I heard about the Arizona chapter is that Kourtney Khardashian was a member years ago - wondering if that added a glamour factor that evolved into what we know now.

If you go to the Link Tree account thingy for @FriendInHeaven, you can find all the documentation. I think the most comprehensive explanation is the Michigan blog post. It's long but is very comprehensive. There are other good documents there. There are also some good discussions on this topic elsewhere in GreekChat.

There are also some threads on Reddit that are pretty good reading. Of course, that is where the OP got the initial link for this thread. But there are other threads on Reddit as well.

That should keep you busy for a while.
