      Meaning that if a frat's sister soro is the fat soro on campus, the frat becomes the fat frat. They identify themselves, and get perspective rush candidates by how good their partner frat/soro is, because put simply, not alot[sic] of frat guys want to hook up with ugly girls. So the frats with the best sister soro will usually have people lining up to rush them, meaning they have the "cream of the crop".
