Defend your sorors...don't let ANYONE say bad things about them! I don't care if the whole damn chapter has full figured women!!! Don't let the physical superficiality of many men (and women) be an imposition to the whole sorority...and this goes for all D9 organizations.

GREAT POST!!!!!!

I know most people think that being fat means you are unattractive so that is why everyone is up in arms about the so called sterotypes. What I would like to hear is instead of my smaller sorors taking these comments as a insult, say So what I have some full-figured sorors but we are all beautiful.

Lets not let these comments divide us into "the attractive SGRHOS" and "the unattractive SGRHOS" We all LOOK GOOD trust me

Soror I understand what you are saying, but my anger is focused more on the comments that are saying that some of us look like an AKA or a Delta rather than a SGRHO, in other words they are saying that AKA and Delta look better than SGRHOs and that is what I take to be an offense. My point was that we are all shapes and sizes and we are all beautiful no matter the org. SGRHOs or Deltas/AKA/Zeta for that matter are all not to be boxed in to some stereotype of what others feel we should look like. By no means am I saying that our full figured sorors are not as attractive as smaller sorors. I hope I did not come off that way and if I did then please excuse me Soror.
