Recruitment as a plus size girl
by: Offred
Hi y'all, I am going through formal recruitment this fall and I only see blonde, very thin, model-type girls rushing. What are the chances for someone who is a larger girl? Does that count against me since I am not your typical sorority girl? I am
Only looking for the right fit. I don't expect to find top tier houses after me.

But remember these houses all have qualities that others don’t too, and some excel beyond “top houses”/Old Row in areas. For example, ADPI and DG are both top 5 for grades and member retention. Obviously they’re doing something right even if people rank them lower. And all these houses are known for being more inclusive: racially, size, lgbtq, and geographically. (Not every one of those is inclusive in every area, but overall they’re more open minded). Anyone joining any of these should wear their letters proudly.

I mean its hard to say much when all I know about you is your weight... like "plus-size" doesn't say much about your personality, grades, style, ect ect ect which houses care about. Although I would say you might fit in best or have the greatest sense of belonging in theta or dg, if body positivity/ being plus size is important to you, and looks houses might make you feel alienated.

This summer scope out all of the houses social media. Do you see women of all shapes and sizes?
During recruitment evaluate each house you're interested in during philanthropy & sisterhood. Do you see girls of different body types who look different from each other? Or do you see girls where only one beauty standard is represented?
There are girls of every shape and size in top tier sororities - don't count yourself out. If they decide they aren't interested in you because of your size - you don't want to be there.

Your gpa is awesome, that will help you a lot in the first round where the largest cuts are made based on houses gpa requirements. I’m a curvy girl and I found a sorority I really feel at home in. No doubt sororities do not always represent the variety of body types in a house on social media, and hopefully during rush you’ll see across the 3,000+ pnms and however many actives there are lots of kinds of girls in every house. Focus on being positive, making connections with actives and being yourself- have faith you will be just fine I promise! 💖

But there is NOTHING wrong with these houses! Seriously, the "bottom" houses are great. Go with where you feel connected.
