Grrr.. I HATE it when the girls are mean during rush
I had a girl I was preffing roll her eyes during the ceremony.. and I was singing!!!!!!! I was shocked. Fortuantely, she went somewhere else!

I didn't go through formal rush, I was a COB. My RA (a KD) invited me to a COB event at the house. I went, thinking I would just check it out and probably not like it. Well I had a blast. We ate pizza, eatched freinds and just hung out. It also happened to be big sis week for the pledges. They received gifts and clues everyday and some were given items they had to wear all week (this was before it was considered hazing). Everyone was joking with them, trying to confuse them about who their big was. Well, I was talking to Sara and I asked her why Erinn was wearing mardi gras beads in November? And she said "Oh, I gave them to her for Big Sis week" and I said (loudly) "So you're Erinn's big sister?" I thought for sure they wouldn't like me after that. Later that night I got a phone call offering me a bid! Oh, and I didn't blow it-Kathy was Erinn's Big! Sara ended up being my great grand big though!

you know, in an odd way the girls who were outright rude eye-rollers and such were refreshing. we knew they weren't interested, so we didn't have to waste time debating on them. as opposed to the rushees who made us think they wanted us badly and then turned on a dime. grrrrr.

That's true...plus, eye-rollers are good for gossip. :p

As I said before, when I went in as a freshman, I knew NOTHING. After we got the Orientation books, before school even started, I liked Zeta because their letters were recognizable. Greek letters confused me. I almost asked someone where the "e" in ZTA was.... Thank God I kept my mouth shut and saved myself that humiliation... I thought Chi Omega was pronouced "CHEE Omega." I was the first person in my family to go to college, so I never heard abou Greek life. My mom had never said a word about sororities until the day I moved on campus. Now she wants me to rush so badly she's offered to buy the new clothes I'll need for rush. (But Mom, I do need 6 pairs of jeans, a bunch of dresses, all these shirts, and at least 5 pairs of shoes!) ;)

Yeah, but the worst is when they come back again the following year!

We had a girl come through formal who didn't seem all that interested in our sorority. I didn't think that it was us necessarily, but everytime she came through our house, she did something crazy to get the entire party's attention focused on her. We thought, "Ok...obviously, this girl doesn't want us because she is acting like such a fool." I mean, our rush is pretty relaxed, but this was ridiculous! We cut her, then she cried because we didn't invite her back. Umm...not inviting someone back who was more interested in dancing on your food table than talking to sisters didn't seem all that strange at the time.

There are some people who just aren't meant to be Greek. There was this girl on my campus who was, um, weird. (Like she would have group fondling orgies in the lobby of my dorm. Really.) Supposedly she went through rush the year before me - and brought her twin sister, who didn't even go to a school near us.

I suppose she rushed because her boyfriend was Greek, and she was their sweetheart - at least until they banned her from the house, along with her boyfriend's best friend/fraternity brother, because, yes, she was cheating with him. She was one in a string of sweethearts they regretted later.

I'm getting off topic, but this girl ... anyway, I don't mind the random psychos coming through. It makes that decision of who to cut that much easier!

Hehehehehe :D

Last year, I saw a girl come through rush who had pledged us the previous year but dropped soon after Bid Day because she wasn't satisfied with our sorority--she had her heart set on one of the biggest houses on campus. Well, I noticed her on Open House day...but my jaw about hit the floor when I saw her back the next day! :eek: Evidently she slipped through the cracks and we didn't realize who she was or she would've been cut, but I couldn't believe she had the nerve to come back. Why? If I were her, I would've begged off sick or something, just so I wouldn't have to go back in the house I had dropped...especially if they knew the reason why. She did get cut after that round, though, I think, and I don't think she ever pledged anywhere.

why anyone would not want to be a DZ at UK is beyond me....you guys are super fun! :) ;) :D what a silly, silly girl she must be....

what??
 

OMG! That is crazy..... I would love to have been a DZ if i had pledged a social sorority. You girls rock!!! But I bet I can guess which one she wanted? ;) She should have stuck with you girls....she would've had way more fun!!!

Thanks, AlphaGamDiva and UKDaisy! You two are so sweet. :D

I didn't get cut when I rushed, but during formal recruitment the semester before, I was out driving around with my friends one night and I got a call from this sorority in campus asking me if I wanted to go to a COB with them. The sorority that called wasnt exactly what I was looking for in a sisterhood (they have 15 girls and only pledge maybe 3 and initiate at most 1 or 2 a sem, while most of the other chapters have 60-80 and pledge classes of 20+), but what freaked me out more than anything was how they got my number... not my dorm number... not my house number... by my CELL PHONE NUMBER... being a first sem frosh, its not like I knew anyone in the house and none of my friends knew any of them... From that day on I just avoided all those girls and then signed up for informal recruitment in the spring cuz I wanted to pledge, but they really scared me... I know that sounds really snotty, but I was really freaked out... :(

I don't blame you for being freaked out. If a whole bunch of people I didn't know got ahold of my cell number, I'd be pretty freaked too. I'd be wondering what sort of bizarre things they had to do to find it! :eek:
