i totally agree with what sairose said. just because a girl is overwieght does not mean that she will make a bad sister...and it also does not mean that they do not "take care of themselves". sometimes people really do just have a wieght problem and it has nothing to do with how they eat or if the exercise, etc. girls come in all different shapes and sizes...there is not one mold!...that is what makes being in a sorority so great...you get to hang out with all types of girls and that helps you to learn about what life is like for others. i also agree with what sairose said about the not taking care of yourself thing about drinking...i drink...so in that sense i do not take care of myself either...but my sisters, both the ones who do drink, and the ones who don't, do not discriminate against me because of it. they don't tell me that i don't take care of myself because i drink. we all have different ways of taking care of ourselves...maybe that is something that should be realized. i'm sure that we all do unhealthy things every now and then, so why critize someone else for that it?

Thanks for agreeing. We ALL do things that are unhealthy sometimes. And I guess the overweight thing hit too close to home, because when I pledged in spring 2001 I was nearly 60 pounds overweight. I'm proud to say I worked hard and lost over 50 pounds, but you know what? My sisters loved me just the same when I was a big girl. And I love them for it!
