Sororities cause body shame

Girls who successfully join sororities have higher levels of self-objectification (apparently this means believing what others think about your body) and eating disorders than girls who don't try to get into a sorority, both before and after the application process. A month later, girls who get into sororities have elevated levels of body shame.

Apparently the other sisters really want you to be skinny. People who are surprised raise your hands. I thought not.
