I think sometimes people are trying to be funny or find a common link, and something that sounded really good in their head doesn't sounds at all good when it is said out loud.
Recruitment is like a job interview; I've been asked my favorite holiday and why, if I was a brand of ice cream what would I be, etc--- people like to see how you respond as a means to get a sense of your inner self.
I would be willing to guess that any sorority member asked the above questions about what holiday/ice cream her sorority would be, she would reply 1) Multicultiral Appreciation Month, b/c we're so diverse! and 2) Rainbow Sherbert because we're so diverse!
That's not to offend anyone; I think it is univerally acknowledged and a bit of an insiders joke that we sorority women strive for diverse membership so that we're not bland vanilla ice cream with everyone being the same.
Smiles to all! I have gotten some and given some interesting answers over the years....
And for the record, I love mint chocolate chip and my birthday is my favorite holiday!
