Shelacious, I didn't know you were an SFSU alumna too! When did you graduate? What was your major?

I can't believe some of these chickies!!!!! (Or lil' roosters in the case of the drag queen!!!) The "Doctor's daughter" story killed me....unfortunately there were a lot of those coming through our rushes....I don't know who these girls think they're impressing.....half the time the person the're bragging to has a lifestyle that makes theirs look like pond scum in comparison.

I swear, someone like the rollin' eyes girl would drive me to say "You know what? I think we're finished here....why don't you go on outside???"

On our float ride through the Homecoming parade this morning, several of my sisters and I were talking and somehow ended up discussing Mullets. LOL! Well, anyhow, I posed the question, "What would you do if someone came through rush with a mullet?" Miss President jokingly said something to the affect of "Oh, that's something we'll discuss after Initiation...How if someone has a mullet or not determines whether they get a bid." LMAO So I was like (again, jokingly), "Yeah if I see someone with a mullet come through rush next year I'll tell them 'wow, you'd be perfect for XYZ sorority' ". This is one (sorority) that we were kind of scared by during their performance at the Sigma Chi Derby Days thing a few weeks ago LOL! None of them have mullets, mind you, but they (not to be mean or anything) pretty much accept anyone who wants to join.

ZetaLuvBunny -- be prepared for the sorority rush voting process. It's pretty brutal.

Bump for our summer reading enjoyment!

ZetaLuvBunny · #6 11-05-2001, 02:21 PM

so I heard

I'm just glad I don't have to be a rushee again, though. I'm sure there were people who said nasty things about everyone, including me.

Okay...it's been awhile so I feel like I can say this. Summer of 2000 I was a Rho Chi and there was this girl in my group. Smart, lots of activities, normal looking. Seemed pretty nice. She was deathly afraid of getting cut. Her mom called me at home the day before rush started to ask me who how when why of getting cut. Anyway, she got invitations and stuff and she had really started to fall in love with this one sorority. She didn't like the others. So I am waiting outside of the ABC sorority room with my Rho Chi partner and one of the advisors comes out and looks mortified. Apparently the rushee had decided to lie down on the floor, take her shoes off and make the girls rush her while she was on the floor just laying on her back. HELLO!!!!! What the hell was she thinking!?! This girl received only one invitation the next day and one to pref and was consequently not offered a bid. So anyway, we call her and tell her that she has no bid so that she won't come to bid revealing and be humiliated. She shows up anyway and confronts me and the panhel pres bawling, freaking out! Asking why? I wanted to say..."Uh, why do you think Rude McStupid!?" Anyway, she then went up the stairs where the sororities were awaiting their new members and proceeded to confront the sorority that she wanted and ask for answers. The sad thing...this girl went though rush again this year. No bid.

Ok, Ok, how's about I inject a bit of testosterone into this sea of sorority rush stories (other than that experience by our friend in San Francisco, that is)!

My chapter had a guy that was all about becoming a Pike, and was always coming around the house and trying to hang out with the Brothers at the bars.
The chapter did not want to rush or bid this guy because he had a questionable reputation as someone who mistreated women (was a bit too agressive sexually), and could become a bit of a violent drunk when drinking.

Apparently, his father or someone knew someone that either worked at our international headquarters or knew someone who knew someone (you get the picture). But somehow, he comes up with a BID signed by this person at Headquarters!!!! For about a week he went around campus saying, "Hi, I'm Mike the Pike!"...I couldn't believe it! He even tried to show up for a Chapter meeting (not a pledge meeting, mind you, a regular Inititate-only Chapter meeting!)

Finally, we cornered this guy and abruptly told him that HE WAS NOT IN THE FRATERNITY! The bid he "received" was not valid, and did not make him a part of the chapter. Boy it was a nightmare!

I think he eventually went through formal rush and ended up pledging another chapter.

"Hi, I'm Mike the Pike!"...I couldn't believe it

That is too much, isn't it funny how some people will go to any extremes to try and get in ...

I really don't have any bad rush stories ( knock on wood) but ya never know.. happy holidays to everyone

carnation · #11 12-14-2001, 02:22 PM

Okay, the DZs (dzrose93 and dzsai) are definitely winning the weird rush story contest! Can anyone top them?

Parsifal · #12 12-14-2001, 02:27 PM

Worst. Rushee. Ever.

It was the last party on the first day and the girl would NOT STOP COMPLAINING. "I'm so tired, I just want to go to bed, all my high school friends are in XYZ and I can't imagine myself anywhere else, I've been having the same stupid conversation all day, why don't they break up the first round into two days, I can't do this all week long, I just want to be in a house already..."

Ahhhhhh!!!!!!!!!

And it was my birthday.

Oh, God. Thanks everyone for keeping my laughing when I was feeling aboslutely terrible from the flu!

This year, I had the wonderful opportunity (

) to rush absolute pain-in the butts.

One girl was totally intent on becoming a Theta. At Rush, she was like, "OK, so, when I become a Theta, right, I will, like, have tons of chances to, like, *she giggles* rendezvous - as in sexual relations - with the SAEs and Pike, right? Those are total hotties. Yumm! I know that you guys do lots of stuff with them *she pushes me backwards b/c she's giggling so hilariously*." I am shocked. I tell her that we are good friends with the SAEs and Pikes, BUT that it is not an appropriate time or place to talk about our relations with them, ESPECIALLY because they are nothing but rumors. We are not sluts. Then she goes, "So...I am blonde, blue-eyed, gorgeous (UGHHH!! The nerve of her!), and rich. I'm perfect Theta material, right? I can't wait till initiation!"

Then she goes on and on about how being a Theta will totally make her life perfect, blah blah blah blah. I tell her, "Honey, if I have anything to do with it, you will not be going Theta!" She turns beet-red and angrily yells, "DAMMIT! If my father has anything to do with it, he'll make sure I get into Theta!" Her outburst is so loud that everyone turns and points.

Turns out every sorority turned her down, b/c supposedly she kept on talking about Theta this, Theta that at every sorority's party. Plus, the others could tell she was a total psycho.

The next horrible rushee. Ugh. She was also adamant about becoming a Kappa Alpha Theta. At first, she seemed great, because I could tell that she was enthusiastic about all of Theta's ideals and philanthropy and sisterhood. But then, her enthusiasm turned into obsession. She wore to every rush party our colors (black and gold) and bought a kite pin and actually brought our flower (!!!!) with her every single day. She was like, "See, you guys should let me in, I already have all your stuff already!" We were a bit scared, if you know what I mean. And that's not the worst part. Next, she had the nerve to say, "You know what, I'm not scared if I get hazed by you guys. I hear that you guys circle your pledges' fat and make your pledges have sex with the frat guys. And that you make your pledges do everything for you, everything from homework to your chores. But you know what, I'm ready for it because I want to be a Kappa Alpha Theta!!!! I want to wear the letters! When do I get your sweatshirt? I wanna wear it! And, on Bid Day, I'll get Theta paraphernalia right? Pens and notepads to show everyone that I'm a Theta?" My blood was boiling by that point. My mouth was literally wide-open for like 20 seconds. My response was, "Firstly, WE DO NOT HAZE. Kappa Alpha Theta is too classy and too womanly to haze any of our members. Secondly, Kappa Alpha Theta would never, ever want a person like you to be a sister of our wonderful organization! Our organization is based on sisterly love, unlike what you think. Please do not dress in our colors anymore and bring our flower everywhere you go. You are not a Theta." I had to compose myself and ended up having a sister taking over, who also proceeded to have her blood boil by the rushee's comments!

Needless to say, she was cut immediately

and every other sorority cut her because again, all she would talk about was Theta's colors/symbols/her intent on becoming a Theta, etc.

Ughh.

Luckily, our new sisters from this year's Rush are all AWESOME and represent Kappa Alpha Theta beautifully! I guess we have to deal with wackos to get quality girls!

I can't remember if I told you all this, but the first year that I was a rusher, we had a ton of people at pref, so I had to pref this girl that I had not met before. We are talking and eating and all of a sudden she runs out (falling on the way) and I follow her and she tells me not to. Turns out she spent the next half hour puking in the bathroom...the DZs who were in the kitchen (right next to the bathroom) DID follow her. Anyway, she returned in time enough to join our ceremony/song circle and after about 5 minutes, she covered her mouth and ran away again. It was soooo horrible. Of course, we didn't get enough info out of her to know if we should bid her, so she was not given a bid. She did however get a bid from her other pref sorority. I felt really sorry for her. I talked to the Rho Chis after bid day and they said that she was fine at her other party and that they thought she was just super nervous! I think she was too, 'cause she apparently really liked us.
