This story starts out horribly.........but has a happy ending! (oh and it's kinda long)
So for Formal this year, my then boyfriend, an SAE from Florida (as well as my high school sweetheart) was supposed to fly out to come with me to formal. Anywho, sorority organization being what it is, the formal got rescheduled for a later date and my bf couldn't come out. He got really mad at me (like it was my fault) and said that this was the last straw, yada yada yada. So we broke up.
My friend Milton (Delta Chi) came to the rescue and said that he would love to go with me. I was excited, despite having broke up with my bf, because I knew that Milton and I would have a good time. Three days before formal, Milton pulls me aside at a concert and tells me that he can't go because he was running for fraternity president, and it wouldn't look good if he missed part of initiation weekend.
So it is now three days before formal and I am dateless. So I head over to my campus SAE house to hang out with some of my friends. I tell my friend Scott, who was just elected to Sigma Kappa's Pearl Court, my situation (he is going with my best friend Laura), and he brings his little bro Chris over and tells him that he's going with me to formal. Works for me, I have a date, he's cute and fun. Or so I thought.
The morning of formal. Laura gets told by our exec. vice pres. and advisors that she can't go to formal because she didn't make grades. She comes over and starts bawling. While I am trying to comfort her, Chris calls and says that he has a pledge thing that he can't get out of and can't go with me.
So Laura calls Scott and tells him that he is now going with me. Fine. At this point I don't even want to go to formal. But, Laura convinces me to go, and when Scott picks me up to pre-party, he shows up with 8 different ties, because he wants to match my dress. That got me out of my bad mood.
When we show up to formal, there is a bouquet of pink roses sitting at my table. Turns out that Scott had a thing for me for a long time, but didn't do anything about it because I had a boyfriend.
Needless to say, Scott is now my boyfriend, and what started out as my worst formal ever turned into my best one.
