Okay, so this isn't a story about the GLO that cut me during rush, but this is about the opposite...The GLO that feared I would cut them during rush because of their blooper.
I was rushing a couple GLOs during informal rush. I was at ADPi's preference party at the local hotel enjoying great conversations. They had several round tables throughout the room where several sisters could sit and rush a girl at the same time, instead of one on one. Well I was sitting with the sisters, eating cheese and whatnot, when one of the girls asked what brought me to UNT. Well I mentioned that some of my family had gone there and that I i basically was going there because of vacinity to home. She then proceeded to ask my major and tell me hers. She was an Interior Design major. I mentioned that my aunt was the same and that she had just graduated. Well this brought on a whole other conversation. She then asked if my aunt had ever mentioned this one lady in there class, since we are almost sure she and this sister were classmates. I said no and she proceeded to tell me how horrible she was and how she would bring her teenage children to class. They were disruptive and undisciplined. SHe went on and on...then mentioned this lady was only getting a degree to look good in the political eye. And, that she was running for some local office.
At this point in the conversation, I let the sister know that not only had she run for a local office, but that she had gotten it. And that the teenage children were probably there for a good reason, or she wouldn't have brought them. And that I would tell my Aunt hi for her the next time I see her.
The table fell silent. At this point, i know they were kicking themselves and assuring themselves that I would not take a bid from them. Funny thing though, i thought it was hilarious. I didn't particular care for that aunt either. LOL It turned into a great story at future rush workshops of what not to say at rush parties. The sister and I became good friends and always laugh about this every year during recruitment.
And in case you cant tell...I took the bid.
The great aunt I do care about was rather pleased. (She was ADpi in 36)
