rush is 85% how you look and 15% everything else.

by:    

So there is a lot of non-sense on here about grades, activities, letters of rec, legacy etc. All of those things all together make up about 15% of the process. Most of what it is all about is how do you look. The reality is that you will probably end up in a sorority with people who have a similar level of look as you. It doesn't mean they look like you. But as far as what society considers attractive - they will be within the range you are. Are there outliers in the whole thing? Sure. Occasionally, you see a gorgeous woman in a "lower tier" and an unattractive woman in an "upper tier." But all in all, you end up with people who are of the same looks as you. So, realize the you can't do a whole lot about it. Relax. Have fun. And join a sisterhood.

Since you don't even know how to spell nonsense, it's clear you're not in a top tier house. Maybe if your house paid more attention to the academics and personalities of PNMs instead of only looks, you'd actually become a respected house.

PNMs, don't believe this nonsense. Top houses look at the total package.

You seem to be really talking this personally. The OP was actually telling it like it is. Of course the "total package" matters. But the package is mostly about looks. I'm in a top house. Would we take somebody who is gorgeous and rude? No way. But that doesn't happen much. Most people are fairly polite and amicable during rush. Rather it is conscience or not, it does mostly go on looks. Why do you think people spend so much time talk about bring blotting sheets and touch up?

People talk about blotting papers because they don't want to look and feel like crap when it's 100 degrees no matter how good looking they are. You all do a disservice to PNMs by saying it's only looks based because it isn't. I too am in one of the top houses (because yes, it is important. Anyone who says it isn't is in denial.) We wouldn't be a top house if we only cared about looks. We're much more concerned about character.

Maybe they judge you on looks in houses known for their beauty, but in all of the other houses, they don't

I think OP was just saying to chill out. Because you can't control all that much of where you end up. Just go into Rush, and of the houses that pic you, choose the one you like the best.
