sorority chances?
by: FSUNOLEZOkay I really want to rush but I'm having second thoughts because of the way I look. I'm very tall and very overweight.. but I'm very well groomed and take pride in my personality and the way I dress, even though I'm not a typical skinny girl. I'm afraid that my weight will be the difference between me getting into a house or not. Do many sororities take weight into consideration?

Don't let your weight stop you from rushing! Yeah like I think theyll consider appearance, but I think it's more about if you would represent them well so if take care of yourself and take pride in your appearance then it's nothing to worry about...besides if a chapter would not invite you back only because of your weight that's stupid

Unfortunately it will def hurt your chances in all houses. Being honest with you, very few if any house will extend you a bid.
I am sure you are a nice person but sororities are superfluous organizations in general whether they admit it or not.
If you have your heart set on joining I would wait until next year and perhaps work on getting healthy. Save your self the heartache which is sure to come
Good luck

I am telling her the truth about fsu Greek life sweetie. There is a reason you don't see larger girls in any sorority PR posts. It's not the acceptable standard any house desires, ANY
Stop lying and be honest! It's not that she can't rush , she can and perhaps she may get a bid but her question pertained to her relative chances and those are somewhat slim based on the acceptable standards at this school.
I would rather err on the side of cautious truth than see a nice girl be subjected to relentless rejection and possible future psychological harm.
I'm glad your experience has been positive and you are pro Greek, I am too, however I have witnessed first hand , all too often the negative impact as well,
Whatever the op decides to do I wish her the best and know there is more to fsu than just being in a sorority

I beg you to not listen to some of these idiots and to give rushing a chance. if a sorority doesn't want you because of your weight, you don't want to be in that organization anyway. so rush and if it ever didn't work out or you didn't get any houses that you like, at least you tried. you can't sit back in fear of what other people thinking of you. i promise girls will care more about you confidence than your weight

Here is my question to the original poster....you said you are 'very tall and very overweight.' What is your definition of "very overweight"? If you are, let's say 75 pounds overweight, it is not going to be happening. Sometimes the truth hurts. If you are 20 pounds overweight, and that's what you're calling "very overweight", then it's a whole different story. No one is being mean here. People are being realistic.

I am shocked at how skinny the majority of pledges are this fall 2017. 75% are size 0 or 2. These gurls obviously got a message that weight clearly matters. So don't try to sell that Sorority s aren't begind he super skinny aesthetic.
