Isn't Elle too short to be sorority leader??


I mean I'm not judging or anything, but Reese Witherspoon's only 5'1, that's the height that would never been valued in the sorority world. Are the traditional sorority leaders tall and skinny blondes like between 5'6-5'10, like Ali Larter height, not Reese Witherspoon heeight.

Elle was so bubbly that they didn't care how short she was to be a Sorority Leader. :) There were lots of chattering gossip remarks from other Model contestants about how short Eva Pigford was 5'7 in her America's Next Top Model Cycle 3 compared to the 5'10 Model contestants and she not only won her cycle, she became one of the most iconic ANTM winners of all time. :)

Drake is repetitive. He just raps the same thing over and over as if he is in an insane asylum!LOL:D

Yes but there's a huge difference between being 5'2 and 5'7, with a 5'2 body your body would never be considered hot since your legs are viewed as too stubby. That's how the sorority works, normally they wouldn't admit anyone that's lower than 5'5 let alone elect her as sorority queen, that's just how it works in the sorority.

FACT: Sororities that have height requirements are sororities whose members are incapable of logical thinking. Prove me wrong.

Bit insulting?? She wouldn't be allowed because she's short??

That's how the sorority works. Normally they wouldn't admit girls who are lower than 5'5 or too chubby, let alone elect her as sorority queen.

Jesus christ - i am so glad i dont live in USA where they do stupid things like this. Whats the point? Its meaningless crap, electing people for president etc (not allowing them for being to chubby, short, fat, thin etc) what a great way to improve girls self esteem!!

I am 5'1 and had no problem getting into a sorority. Many people who make assumptions about sororities never had anything to do with them. Are there sororities that are like that? Probably. But the vast majority care about the girl's personality. I can remember my sorority turning down girls who were absolutely beautiful but had dreadful personalities.

kellymariekitty, yeah, we're also glad you don't live in the USA.

And, we feel pretty sorry for the country you do live in.

What are you even talking about? I was in a sorority. I'm not going to say that there's not some crazy sorority like that out there, but for you to decide this is a universal rule is just insane.

reply

You are dead wrong. I went to college at a school in southern California, a school with an extremely good looking student body, and I knew lots of short girls in the best sororities. They tended to be very pretty girls, like the taller girls in the sorority, but to state that sororities like that don't take short girls is absolutely absurd.

I have seen plenty of women around 5'2" who are VERY hot. Playboy has featured plenty of women around that size.

The popular sororities where I went to school didn't tend to take chubby girls, you are right about that. But they took plenty of girls who were pretty but short. I really have no idea where you are getting these ideas. The sororities where I went to school did not care how tall girls were.

Where did you get this information? Because not only is it wrong, it’s ridiculous.

reply

Elle was part of a sorority that wasn't very judgmental, though (at least that's the vibe I got).

Just because they were all mostly blonde and pretty with perfect bodies, doesn't mean they were that typical sorority where they judge people in order to get in. She was really nice and friendly to everyone she met, regardless of what they looked like.

reply

I was vice president of my sorority and I am only 5'1. Not all sorority girls are superficial bimbos like you seem to think they are.

reply

lmao what the *beep* are you talking about, sororities don't give af about your height, you sound stupid.

reply

Vladimir Putin is too short to be an autocratic leader, so he isn't. The president of Russia is Ivan Drago.

reply

She had money, great body, bubbly personality, and the votes. Didn't matter that she wasn't tall.

reply

That makes no sense whatsoever.
