My chapter was Sorority Intramural Champions in 2001, 2003 and 2004, so needless to say, we took our IMs very seriously.
We had a sister get kneeed in the face during a flag football game -after she had already been tackled, and was down on the ground. As a result, she lost 2 teeth, and had to be rushed to the emergency dentist. This game was against our rivals, and the game was ugly, especially after that. But my sister was tough, and came back that season, mouthpiece in hand...or mouth, if you will. From then on, we made posters that said "It's all fun and games until someone loses a tooth" and we would draw pictures of little teeth on them. Or we would write "Do it for (sister's name)!" and draw a little smiley face with blacked out teeth.
I remember a girl (in a sorority that shall remain nameless) having a temper tantrum on the field, and actually crying to an umpire at a softball game over what she thought was a bad call. The phrase "there's no crying in softball" was born, and we heckled her anytime she struck out, missed a catch, or got thrown out.
The 5K run is always the last IM event of the year that earns points for the championship total. You would get points for each person to finish the race, and of course more points if someone placed. One of our sisters was an awesome long distance runner. The whole race, everytime she would come up behind a girl, she would say "are you in a sorority?" and if they said yes, she would sprint past them! She kept doing that, and came in second place, but she was the first out of any sorority members. Needless to say, we won IMs that year.
We never brawled, but I think the song "Girl Fight" could be used if a montage was ever made about sorority IM games.
