Leaked USC sorority email reveals sisterhood's intense physical requirements

A recently leaked email shows the intense physical requirements behind the Alpha Chi Omega sorority chapter at the University of Southern California.

In the email obtained by Jezebel, members of the sorority were encouraged to wear spanx, have no visible roots in their hair, maintain required makeup, and to not wear glasses during recruitment periods.

"Even if you are very thin, Spanx will give you a better 'line' when you wear clothes (no awkward bumps!) Plus you don't have to worry about sucking in all the time or being bloated!" the email read.

"Remember: your hair needs to be one normal color. No crazy ombre, no color you wouldn't see in nature . . . you cannot have roots during recruitment"

"For recruitment, your hair has to be curly or straight. No waves."

"You need to have foundation, concealer, something pinky/neutral for the lips (stain, gloss, etc), BLOT POWDER/OIL BLOTTERS, eyeliner (BLACK or BROWN only), mascara, neutral eyeshadows, bronzer, and (optional but recommended) blush. If you are not wearing the required makeup, I will stop you and apply it myself. I don't care if you're late for class. I don't care if you're a sophomore or a super senior. I will stop you."

One particular passage of the email requested members with glasses to consider wearing contacts during recruitment.

"We would like to strongly encourage that you wear contacts during recruitment. Obviously if that is not an option for you or if you are uncomfortable doing so it is by no means mandatory. However, we want the PNMs to be able to see your lovely eyes the best they can and strongly encourage wearing contacts over glasses. Poking your eyes is worth it just this once, promise!"

The entire email message was sent to Alpha Chi Omega members back in 2013, but was only published by Jezebel today. ABC7 Los Angeles has reached out to USC's Alpha Chi Omega chapter and Alpha Chi Omega's national office and will update when they respond.
