I'm just amazed that with how litigious our society has become, a young woman who was voted down on her favorite house hasn't sued. In the work force if a skinny beautiful woman got the job over a fat ugly woman, that second woman could potentially sue and WIN.

Thoughts?
I believe that because sororities and fraternities are private organizations, they can choose to include who they want to include, for whatever reasons.

Look at the controversy over women members at Augusta--Augusta National has the legal right to limit its membership to men. Martha Burke was hoping to sway public opinion and put pressure on the corporations who's executives are members. She didn't go to court to sue, because she wouldn't get very far. (She did go to court over the location of her protest, however.)
