While this girl wasn’t rude to our faces, she still was probably the rudest girl my sorority has had to deal with in a while. (sorry the back story is long, but my undergrad’s recruitment is set-up a little differently than most schools)
At my undergrad, recruitment events are held during the evening of the week as well as weekends. If a girl cannot make an event (because she has class, is sick, can’t get off of work, etc) but is still interested in a particular sorority, they are told to send a note to that group’s house (after the first day, girls are not required to visit all groups).
Our recruitment is semi-structured so that each group has a certain time slot and no groups overlap for the first week of recruitment (recruitment is 2 ½ weeks long). However my junior year a student passed away and the memorial service was scheduled for the same time as one of our events. Since many of my sisters were friends with the girl & wanted to be at the service, the Greek advisor moved our time slot to the same time as one of the other sororities.
That night, when it came time for voting, our recruitment chair read any notes we had received for that event. When we got to one girl’s note it read ‘Hi, I would love to be at your event tonight but it’s the same time as XY and I’d rather be at their event.’
I’m pretty sure she did not get an invite for the upcoming closed event (we alternate between open & closed events) but she showed up to the next open saying how much she has missed us. Fast forward a week and she did get a bid to the sorority she told us she rather be at. However, she did show-up our events almost to the end.
