ROFL! I've been reading this thread off and on for a few days now. I wanted to spread the chuckles out over time.
Guess I'll add some more:
- I dropped a house because it was a friend's sister's house. She was the most plastic, fake, self centered b**** I have ever met in my life. Since she'd graduated just 2 years earlier I assumed everybody in that chapter was like that. I later became friends with a couple of girls from that house and they told me that everyone hated her too.
- Someone in my rush group kept going back to a house because (at that time) it was one of the only houses that was air conditioned. She had no intention of pledging them, just wanted a break from the heat.
- A friend, who went to another campus, dropped a house because she said it had one of the ugliest living rooms she'd ever seen. Massive, ugly floral prints everywhere. The drapes, couches, throw pillows, even the carpet had flowers on them. She said it looked like the FTD man had thrown up in there. She couldn't imagine looking at that room every day for the next 4 years. Another case of bad judgement because she told me that the very next year they redecorated and it was absolutely beautiful.
