Please don't swear at a recruitment event.

Especially loudly.

Especially so loudly that everyone turns to stare.

Even if you are saying "YOUR HOUSE IS F-ING SWEET!!!!!!"

No matter how nice the intention, it won't win you brownie points.
In all honesty, a PNM who dropped the F Bomb tore our chapter apart. Enough sisters liked her to give her a bid, but it made things SO tense, we went from the second largest sorority on campus to half its size after Ms. Potty Mouth depledged. Had I to do it all over again, I would have definitely voted FOR the chapter on this one (and against her) - and so would many others I've sinced talked to.

Lesson learned: Never say anything that you wouldn't say in front of an alumna, as one may be standing just behind a door!
