looks

I'd say look to girls' facbook groups and you'll see for the "look" they try to have themselves. It's pretty sad. I'd say you can mostly see this in AXO and DG.

As someone with siblings at other schools, I have to say that " looks" determine membership in top sororities in other places. "Looks" and social standing(social skills). Nothing new!

i think putting effort into yourself but staying true to yourself is the best thing. doing your makeup and hair nice is definitely good for any sorority. when i rushed they had pnms wear a tshirt everyday until pref and i was super worried about trying to stand out by wearing preppy accessories that i ended up taking off because theh weren't my style at all abd everyone was wearing jeans and sneakers. last year though they let people wear what they want on day 2 and i think showinf your personal style and looking nice will get you places. that being said, unless its a top tear and your dont have the personality to hold a conversation for 10 minutes, your "natural looks" wont matter too much

i know for a fact Sig Delt won't let you wear anything sdt/letters and won't let you table for your organization unless your hair and makeup are done. i think it's easy to put it on the top organizations but really it's not like that. for me i think xo/axo/dg are more likely to take a less attractive girl who is really cool/interesting than a pretty but blah girl (i feel like SK and AXID take those girls kind of often)

How do you think larger girls fit into this? Just curious because it never seems that any organizations have any ever at all.

I am sophomore and not in greek life but it is something I have observed especially in the "top tier" groups.

Don't look like you just rolled out of bed...just look like you put a little effort in and you'll be ok!

"Top tier" orgs at AU do not take larger girls or girls who are below average attractiveness. When they do, it's one or two token members a pledge class who have connections/legacy. Look at the girls and it's pretty obvious what the organization values.
