People that put down a sorority for having girls that aren't quite so pretty. Or that are overweight. Or whatever. And I don't see this really with the other sororities, but with independants.

I mean, sisters love each other for WHO THEY ARE, not what they look like. The reason I'm saying all this is because one of the NPC sororities here always gets slammed because they are diverse in their looks--some skinny, some overweight, some supermodel types, some not quite as pretty, whatever. However, they are the sweetest girls, very down-to-earth. I love them to death.

Yet people will slam them just because some of the girls don't look like supermodels. Well, what the HELL does that matter??! I applaud them for seeing beyond the surface and loving each other for who they are, and for being themselves and being proud of it!

Any other thoughts?

sairose, I agree 200%! Sisterhood should based on the heart, not on appearances. I love and respect all my sisters regardless of where they come from and what they look like.

I think that the media (MTV's Sorority Life look and sound familiar?) is also the culprit in proliferating these stereotypic images. It angers and annoys me that a lot of GDIs buy into this and close their minds to the truth.
