rushing as an overweight girl

by: Cool

What’s the reality of being overweight and rushing? Am I only limited to a couple of chapters? I know some girls who went through the process last year got dropped completely and couldn’t even get picked up in COB. I know I need to be positive and excited but I can’t help but feel nervous and anxious about what’s going to happen.

Use this summer to get as fit as possible and to find clothes that fit and make you look great. That will help your self confidence. As to houses where you might fit, I would just leave that worry and see what happens next August. Tbh you wouldn't want to be in a house that was shallow enough to drop you for your size. You couldn't enjoy life in the house if you thought people were judging you for every morsel you put in your mouth for four years. Right? You'll find your people. Just don't expect to get back the house that solely concentrates on looks.

unfortunately, a lot of the rush process is really superficial and there are a lot of shallow girls in charge of making the cuts. With that being said, a lot of the chapters aren't like this and don't care about looks/weight as much as they do personality and involvement, grades, etc. If you have good grades and a full resume, you should be just fine! And like the person above said... don't be too upset if you get cut, because if those houses are so shallow you wouldn't want to be there anyway.
I will be honest with you and say that there are a few houses that pick their girls heavily on looks/weight... Kappa, APhi, ChiO, Pi Phi to name a few. I don't mean any hate to these houses, but they are generally the ones with really pretty, fit girls. As for the other houses, appearance doesn't matter quite as much. I know lots of overweight girls in several different sororities here!!!
My advice would be to wear clothes you feel good in and go in with confidence! Chapters will get a much better impression of you if you seem confident and comfortable in your own skin. Good luck, you'll do great!!

Actually all those houses have overweight girls except for A Phi. I don't know if you were trying to praise some houses for having beauties but if so it backfired

Depends how overweight you are honestly. If you’re a lil pudgy, I wouldn’t worry but if you are biggest loser size, then I would say to not even put yourself in the rush process. I’m sorry but there’s no point in rushing when all of your cuts and invites back will be solely biased upon your weight.

Okay well OP asked how her weight would affect her rush process and people had to answer. The rush process will have critical girls and the appearance of every girl matters. I promise you that in most houses, a really overweight girl’s size WILL MATTER. And if someone is biggest loser size, then they really should look at their health and evaluate.
