Here's an interesting twist (that, and few dudes have posted recently):
Sometimes, we get stuff like this from sororities, or from 'perception' problems. Let me explain: we've had potential rushees get bad information from sorority girls, or just random girls (usually 'friends' with another house), or ex-pledges of our house or other houses . . . the rumor mill is ridiculous, but equally so is the game of first impressions.
We've had guys tell us, "XYZ girls say you're the best house" or "ABC says that you guys have the second-best exchanges" or "IJK says that you guys are geeks" or drug use or grades or drinking or rich or poor or all-white or really diverse . . . either way, in some situations behavior can be taken out of context. I'd still give them another chance - saying "no one important" could just be an extremely poor choice of words, if he/she was just desperately looking for 2 people who had her keys. See what I'm saying? Opinions, tact, behavior, all of these are subjective and relative - so pool the group behavior together, and allow yourself to make the decision on that. One person's poor choice of words, or discomfort with being a rush-er, may not reflect on their abilities to be your sister/brother.
Wow - hope that makes sense.
