I was sitting in a math tutorial the day that bids came out, totally wound up with excitement.
I started babbling to a little freshman girl who had the misfortune to be sitting next to me. At that time, very few freshman rushed, so I didn't even bring it up. The TA read the roll, and one of the names was the guy I had been stalking the previous year. I was mortified, and told the freshman the whole sordid tale. At one point she loudly blurts out: "so who IS this Albert guy??", and he tapped her on the shoulder and pointed to himself (he had slid in behind us without me seeing). I tried to crawl under my desk and hide.
That afternoon, as the new pledges assembled in the ASA suite, I hear "Hey!!! It's my Math Buddy!!!" and there's the little freshman - one of only 2 in our pledge class.
She told me later that she came VERY close to turning around and leaving when she saw "that insane chick from math class" sitting in the suite when she arrived, but decided to tough it out.
And we're still friends years later.
