I haven't been through formal yet, and I don't think we can really blackball, anyway, but I have another story about another guy I know...
There was this guy who went through formal rush his freshman year. He got a bid to Sig Ep (a really good fraternity at USC). After knowing him for a little while, I couldn't see why they'd give him a bid, and then I thought back to when I first met him, and I could see why...
He was a decent-looking guy, from California, extremely wealthy, and made very good first impressions. The problem was, after a while the guys noticed things about him that were NOT right. He was just... uh... a little odd. So, eventually they balled him. Now, I don't know the whole story, one of my good friends is Sig Ep, but he's very good about keeping the whole secrecy of the fraternity, but I could tell that he was really mad at this guy and couldn't stand him... apparently after he got balled, he was really bitter about it and did nothing but trash the fraternity for a long time...
But, the story is not over. This guy went through rush again, and this time went DU. Well, I don't know any DU's, so I'm really unsure of the story, but apparently either he didn't get a bid, or got balled from this fraternity as well.
So, third time's a charm? He's currently pledging another fraternity, and he's hung on so far, but he's had quite a few little "talks" with the president (who happens to be my ex-boyfriend and the guy's big brother) and has come really close to being balled. I told my ex that taking him would be a big mistake, but he just replied "we believe in giving everyone a chance." Apparently, though, a lot of the brothers can't stand him... In my opinion, he's making this other fraternity look really bad, but apparently one of the brothers is really fighting to keep him in.
