As a member (and current president) of a sorority, I just wanted to say that not all sororities are like this. Nor are we dating pools for frat boys, although I understand where that stereotype comes from. I don't believe my sorority discriminates based on looks or weight (I'd consider myself a bit overweight so take that as you will). Also, our sorority (similar to most) is committed to developing members of poise and purpose, serving our community through philanthropy and service, fostering sisterhood, improving scholarship and providing leadership opportunities. We also promote athleticism/sports, social events and spirituality. We stress heritage and advocate our members taking advantage of leadership opportunities both within the sorority and outside of it.

Sororities (and fraternities) offer a multitude of positive enrichment for college students, but, as with most organizations, you can only get from it as much as you give to it.
