There's a thread a few years old all about filler girls. I'm sure someone reading this comment will bump the post. If not you can google it. But basically filler girls are not what you just described them as. Yes, there are MANY great, well rounded girls who were not on a house's radar prior to rush. Said girls then get bids to generally respected houses and that's that. However, those aren't filler girls. Filler girls are girls who are generally average. Average grades - B/C's and average test scores. Average high school involvement - maybe they played a sport or two in high school but they weren't a apart of any major clubs and didn't do a lot or any volunteer work. And average in looks. And little to no in house connections. Filler girls are the girls who got a bid to a house because that house needed to meet quota. Most filler girls aren't PNMs of substance... No offense. Filler girls get a bid from a house based on dumb luck as opposed to qualifications or connections. And that's why having a lot of filler girls isn't a good thing. It causes discrepancies in pledge classes and rifts in the overall image. The clash of different types also usually leads to split sisterhoods, seen in many OR houses. The instate girls, who got in by connections, tend to think of themselves more highly than the filler girls, who got in by necessity.
