Oh boy...I've shared this before but here we go again (and I'm still HORRIFIED that I did this).
There is this one house on campus that I absolutely KNEW I would not fit into. Not that theyre not an awesome house- au contrair, theyre one of the best on campus, just really not my type and I wasn't quite their type either. So went through house tour, and when we were sitting in their parlour, I noticed their taxidermied owls in the room. I was having a hard time making conversation, just striking out left and right, couldn't find anything to connect with...so finally I thought, "ok, let's try an interesting tid bit".
And I said, "you know, I come from a town with a lot of different ethnicities, and a lot of people believe that having owls or pictures of owls is a death omen".
Cue pin drop.
And I 100% didn't mean to insult them, and I KNEW the second it came out of my mouth that I had said something stupid. I was HONESTLY just trying to make conversation any way I could. Needless to say, I didn't get an invite from them. (my pledge sisters STILL won't forgive me for that).
