Hey Everybody!
Sorry I haven't been around to respond to all the stuff that has been going on! Seems like quite a conversation has been started about all the events that went down.
Some of the things I've read on here, I've been mildly offended by. I've been nothing but honest on these boards, and getting ripped for it kind of sucks. But it's alright, all of you are entitled to your opinions, and since none of you are close to the situation or know both sides, it's hard to make comments that are 100% valid to the whole ordeal.
In defense of my dignity, refering to it as the "hooters video", makes it sound much more salacious than it really was. It was quite literally three girls, wearing hooters Tee Shirts (not the tight little tank tops), standing behind a couch where the individual had his hands tied. We were fake hitting him and stuff, it was entirely comical, not even close to being sexual. It was most definitely all in good fun.
Obviously me vouching for my own character doesn't carry that much weight, just because no one is going to say bad things about herself. But everyone that knows me would tell you that I am a very friendly and open person. When I met the future rush chair I said hello, extended my hand for a handshake, she refused to shake it, looked me up and down and turned around and kind of burrowed herself in her boyfriends side.
Let me apologize up front for calling her what I did earlier. Everyone has their insecurities and personal problems and it's really not fair for me to judge. If she felt threatened by me or the situation, she was probably horrendously misinformed about my intentions and character. BUt you know what they say, until you walk a mile in their shoes....
A lot of you made interesting points regarding the rush chair's ability to "axe" an individual at their own discretion. I don't know the details about what went on in the house, but I know that girls liked me A LOT there. I could be entirely misinformed. Mabye all those girls couldn't stand me. But in my heart of hearts, I KNOW the rush chair, either by cutting me on her own, or by flaming me to the other members of the sorority, is the reason I am not a chi omega today.
I especially want to apologize to members of Chi Omega and Kappa. It was not my intention to disrespect Chi Omega, and DEFINTELY not my intention to disrespect my own house. I do love my sorority, especially the national strength it has. I get a great feeling of pride telling people I'm a Kappa. It's a wonderful sorority with wonderful traditions. I love my sisters and have made great friends at the house. You all can hate me for being honest, but if I could go back and change things, would I? There is a good chance I would. Chi Omega is a much stronger/larger/and more active house on campus. We are the 2nd smallest house on campus. And on this campus, numbers say A LOT. I think the girls in XO are probably more like me. Am I happy at Kappa though?? YES. Am I glad I pledged??? ABSOLUTELY. I AM THRILLED TO BE A KAPPA FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE.
And that's that.

ps- I haven't thought about this situation in a while, I'm pretty much over it. I just posted b/c I thought everyone who followed my rush story might find it interesting. It's also neat to think about how dramatically our lives shift in ways we don't even know without us realizing it. My whole life would be different if I had changed one thing. It's crazy to think what if...?
