I may be a total dork, but I LOVE the snapping!! People talk less when they snap than when they clap, and that's why our chapter does it. It really does make a difference. Plus, it gives new meaning to the phrase, "Two snaps up!"
Hmmm.... when I went through rush there was one house that kept calling me by the wrong name. I was wearing a nametag that CLEARLY said "Maya" and they all kept calling me "Mary"... I corrected them numerous times and they still kept calling me Mary. It wasn't a house I was going to pledge anyways, but that just topped it off.
Of the 4 houses that interested me, I cut one because (among other reasons) a couple of girls were very heroin-chic looking- long lank hair, uber-skinny, with pounds of black eyeliner and dark shadow. They looked.... kind of dead. It scared me, so I cut them. Now I'm best friends with that sorority's president, though, and they are a great bunch of girls.
