Facades Are Life

Delta Zeta sorority has dismissed twenty-three members of their Depauw University chapter. The expelled included overweight and minority sisters. Discharging someone on a physical appearance basis is objectionable. With that stated, sororities are social organizations. Their functions are partying and networking. Therefore, cuteness is a consideration.

“Image is the new racism.” This released member’s assessment is excessive. Each day, decisions are made based upon appearance. Potential dates, friends, and conversations are accepted or rejected from personal preference. I sympathize with these students. However, one must judge books by covers. They cannot be read unseen.

Given the negative energy that these women have expressed, I suspect that regardless of their "covers" the books were not very positive or fun to be around. Anyone can be engaging, friendly and helpful and someone other people enjoy being around. It sounds to me like these bitter members never really wanted to be part of a sorority in the first place and just wanted to be with a small group of friends.
