Wow! Some of you have had TERRIBLE experiences (funny as some of them might be). My worst wasn't quite so bad. It was my semi-formal while I was pledging so I definitely wanted someone I was confertable with and someone who would impress my new sisters
. I didn't really know who to take, so I called my best friend from home to come and go with me (it was a guy). I told him to leave around 1 PM to travel up. I figured he'd leave late, so I assumed he's get there by 6/6:30. It would give us time to get dinner, get dressed and then start hitting the pre-parties. Well......he left even later that I had assumed and THEN got stuck in major road construction. He ended up getting to me 20 minutes after the bus had left so we had to get dressed and drive over. It ended up being a great time, probably because we were sober, but everyone else was sloshed. It was kinda like the sweet 16 of you Irish friend with tons of relatives drunk out of their minds singing old pub songs and trying to dance the jig. As the time I was furious, but now, hey, whatev!
