Tell me your best tent talk stories
 

I love the stories people tell on GC. Tell me your best tent talk stories (obviously with fake sorority letters and no actual campus names such as ABC at Big University).

Anyone have a good one? (As if I have to ask!) ;)

My memory is fading, but I remember some from when I was a recruitment counselor and having to correct the PNM's.


ABC requires you to go to Bible Study.

XYZ circles your fat.

OMG makes you lie in a coffin at initiation/you can only wear your underwear to initiation/there's a live lion at initiation.

LMN is on probation and they're closing.

If you're at RS and the sister who is rushing you puts her arm around you, its a signal to the other sisters that you're going to be cut.

Once you join VWX, you have mandatory etiquette and makeup lessons. Everyone has to wear makeup.

The biggest rumor: JKL got the wrong invite lists and it ruined their whole recruitment. They got back all the girls they dropped and released the ones they wanted and now they're stuck with them.

ABC hazes, their national president's daughter went through rush/pledged ABC and the president told them she wanted ABC to haze her daughter

A girl in PQ didn't know she was pregnant and gave birth in the bathroom

I have plenty more :)

OMG...you mean I missed out on a chapter with a live lion?? I feel cheated...we didn't even release the live doves at my SK initiation since I was an informal class. ;)

There was a running joke during the new member period about our initiation that "when you go before the lion, go low and to the left." Someone must have taken it seriously. She was clearly disappointed. The chapter put the kibosh on the joke with a stern admonition, but I can see where the rumor during recruitment may have started.

AB sorority requires their pledges to sleep with a fraternity man(or more than one) or the new member will NOT be initiated!

Sororities will offer you a Coke in a bottle at recruitment.

If you drink straight from the bottle, you are automatically cut because ladies NEVEH EVEH drink straight fom a bottle, even if dying of thirst.

If you demurely ask for a straw, preferably while clutching your pearls, you will be invited to the next round, since that proves that you are obviously a lady.

Honest....

If XY sisters cross their arms behind their back during a recruitment party, they are signaling the other sisters that you're cut and they shouldn't bother talking to you.

And if XY sisters cross their arms over FACING THE PNM during a recruitment party, they are signaling the other sisters that you're cut and they shouldn't bother talking to you.

Or is she just cold? I forget.

ABC is a bunch of lesbians and they have "topless fridays" in the house.

EFG google maps your parent's house to see if it's big and in a "rich area"

If you eat all of your dessert at HIJ they will cut you.

KLM makes all of their new members start tanning and they give them hair and makeup tutorials.

My favorite: Don't join NOP because every girl that joins gains like FIFTY POUNDS their first semester. (These actives were not even large, so I don't know where that one came from).

Yes and Yes.

ABC will do a Dun and Bradstreet on your parents, if not the entire family.

If you get a bag of popcorn at DEF, you're done. If you get a box of popcorn, you're bid-worthy.

Even though there are no national constraints, GHI will not pledge a woman who isn't (fill in the religion).

Your rec to JKL must be from an alumna of that particular chapter.

All MNOs cheat at cards, but are very good at it, too. They are also brunette PQRs (who are all blonde, or will be by graduation)!

If you need to use the ladies room at STU, you will walk by the posters marking how each PNM is doing. Figure out where your name would be so you can glance at it on the way!

Wearing open toed pumps was as good as wearing the Scarlet Letter.



(Yes, I went through Rush, not Recruitment, with even stricter rules, if you can imagine that!)

This one I thought was just gross:

Girls is ABC have to sit without underwear on newspaper and watch lesbian porn. The first one to get "turned on" (for lack of a better term) was called a lesbian and made fun of. :/

If you haven't met the chapter's president by skit round, you're cut.

Well none of the actives are in their first semester anymore, so they must have lost the weight before the next formal recruitment! Duh.

:p

Ugh, I have to look at D&B reports every day at work. I think I would have quit on day 1 if I had spent all my college years looking at them too!

ABC has a scale under their doormat and if your BMI is over (Something low, can't remember now) you will be cut.
DEF only takes ex cheerleaders.
GHI will take anyone because they are going to be closed due to low membership.
JKL requires your bank account numbers upon initiation.
MNO will drop you if you have ever talked to a member of a certain fraternity.
PQR has their rho gammas look at the invite list of STU and take their top girls/drop the shared girls.
