I attend a majority school in Texas, and things are much different at our school. People show up to rush just looking any ole sort of way....

...well my defining moment at MY RUSH was when I snagged my stockings during the drive to campus, so me and 2 of my future line sisters panicked, but we just said we were going to sit in the back....low and behold, the moment we sat down, sorors were like "ya'll come up front, we want to see you all".
So there I am in the front row, with a track meet going down my leg (several runs)....so during the individual introductions, I just stood up and said, my name is so and so and I have a huge run in my stocking!:D Why did about 3 of them say "we know, we can see it from way back here!" and they started laughing!
I was so emburrusssed :(
but...it turned out OK!

:D :D

Soror, maybe I'm just too mean but in my opinion, if a woman doesn't know enough to dress professionally for Rush, perhaps she isn't ready to be a woman of Alpha Kappa Alpha. I say that these women need a little more time to come up to par on their own b/c they are clearly not ready. Maybe I need to learn to be more understanding but I say that the sorority is just not for everyone.

You and I are on the same page. I kept saying the same thing. That is when the seasoned sorors were like "that is why they need mentors like you to help them." My reply was "they don't need ME, they need Jesus". I was serious, what would possess anyone to wear a see-through shirt to any professional event. This is not a night club. I really wanted to just reschedule the rush for another day, I didn't feel like any of them were ready. But, alas, I didn't have a vote. Plus, I was only about 2 weeks old myself, *shrugging shoulders* what do I know?

I am finished with you!!!:o :p :D LOL. Poor Baby.

I don't necessarily think you're mean. You make a good point.

Me too! I thought to myself, wow, that is quick turnover :)

Thanks Soror Steeltrap! :)

I know folks want to join in on my DST MIP thread but to keep it Delta only, it's going to stay closed, but here is a thread where others in the NPHC can throw in their off the wall MIP questions as well as off the wall rush memories. I might split it later.

Ok, here it goes. When I was in school, we had our first informational since Spring '97 was intitiated. We weren't looking forward to bringing in any more girls (you know neos are territorial). Anyway, these girls come in and greet us by saying "Hey future Soror, when can I get my packet?"

This is one story from the many I have hidden in my "I don't want to go there today" file.

Me too! I think there should be a rule: You are not allowed to wear white stockings unless you are a baby or a nurse. ;):D

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!

Why oh WHy did she have to preface her statement with that. She may have been fine if she left that part off. I take it she didn't make that line.

How bout my phone would not have even come it.

I agree. While I do believe that one should grow within their organization, I do not believe that a GLO should be a training ground or boot camp for the entire girl-to-woman transition. Some of these stories boil down to the lack of common sense...but like my grandmother used to say, common sense ain't common. ((sighing and shaking my head)):(

I was JUST talking about how common sense ain't common. What is wrong with young people today?
