We had to deal with a complete psycho one year... I've told her story elsewhere. Long story short, she came through formal rush desperate to join a sorority, and got cut across the board before pref. One of my sisters really liked her, though, and invited her to a COB rush we held a few weeks later. Again, a decision was made not to extend a bid. I think she wanted to try to COB again in the spring but was talked out of it...

We had one girl I remember that tried to pull that stunt. I think she came through rush my soph year and was cut by everyone. She was in the same extracurricular activities as me and some other sisters and she always freaking asked us when the next COB was or if we wanted to go out to dinner with her, or, if you can believe this, she once asked me and another sister if we were ever going to pledge her or if she should just start coming to meetings. :eek: :eek: WTF? Fuh-reak. She finally stopped asking when we just started ignoring her.

Question.
 

Say Suzie PNM goes through rush at her campus multiple times but does not get a bid. For some reason, there's something about her that sororities don't like because they don't extend bids to her.

And then you find out that not only is Suzie PNM transferring to another campus with Greek Life, but she's planning to go through rush again. One can't help but wonder if she's just doing this to be accepted in a sorority.

Psycho...? Or no?

I dunno if it is psycho. It is not unheard of for PNM to transfer from a school with a competitive Greek system

It would depend. If Suzie's school is very Greek influenced, there's nothing to do if you're not Greek, and she's miserable because of it, well, I kinda wouldn't blame her.

But she's transferring to the new school JUST to rush and the academic programs are nothing remotely like what she wants....yes, psycho.

Gwyn-
I read your story in the AI thread... and you know... national groups have rules about kicking people out of a chapter (there are VERY few reasons why you can hold a pledge pack from initation). What they did was probably not allowed according to their constitution. I'm sorry that happened to you!!!!!

Superfreak, superfreak, she's super freaky...

For somebody to have rushed multiple times, they're an upperclassman. Transferring that late in the game is pretty unusual.

33girl-It would depend. If Suzie's school is very Greek influenced, there's nothing to do if you're not Greek, and she's miserable because of it, well, I kinda wouldn't blame her.

I am 100% with this statement. People tend to forget how much the recruitment experience meant, either good or bad. I know a lot of these stories sound really...well odd to be honest. Still, these are very young girls who may come from families that have no concept of what rush is all about. Lack of maturity, lack of polish, lack of knowledge- I say give them a chance UNLESS it's REALLY scary behavior that needs the attention of a professional.
BUT sometimes recruitment is so successful, the numbers don't bode well for anyone who "missteps".

Co-sign!

WOW!!!! You win!!!! That is weird :eek:

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!

Re: Question.
 

if that's the only reason she transferred was to pledge a sorority, then yes I think she's a psycho......or has priorities messed up.

Geez, you Sigmas sure are popular! hehe.

wow.. that's SCARY.

I think it works just the same as, say, a new sorority that forms that bases everything they do/symbols off that of a national sorority that they "like".

It's like they are trying so hard, that it just becomes a major turnoff.
