Back in the olden days when I went through rush I had no idea there were inappropriate questions. No one in my family had been Greek while in school and neither had my friends, so I went into rush blind. I had no intentions of pledging-- only went through rush to move out of the house a week early since my mother and I were at each others throats.
I had been told by my mother who is a believer in all things rumored that I would not be able to pledge since there were no Jewish based houses on my campus at the time and no other house would take a Jewish girl. Since I had no intentions of pledging, I went into rush with a large Jewish star-- makes it easy to find an excuse to drop me.
Arrived at one of the houses for first day parties. This was about my 6th house of the day. Rusher and I took an instant dislike to each other for some unknown reason. While sitting there with "Miss Sorority, I am so fantastic", she asked me what "my daddy did for a living." I looked around the room and based on looks, stereotyped that every girl in that room was the daughter of a bank president, a doctor or a lawyer. I thought about my answer and decided that my non-bank president, doctor, lawyer dad needed to be something very special so I replied, "oh, he's the chief garbage collector for our town." Imagine her mouth falling to a non-existent basement. Then she looked at my star and said, "Ohhhhh, you're Jewish." The reply came back, "No, I'm Buddhist."
Guess which house never invited me back.
BTW, I only decided to stay in rush until the first house I went to decided to drop me. Imagine my surprise a zillion years later and I have still not been dropped by them.
