Just think: girl grows up in a college town. A friend from high school, a few years older than her, graduates, stays in town to go to college, and joins said fraternity. That's how the girl knows someone in the fraternity. She tells her mom that she's going to go spend the night over at her friend Suzy's house, but instead they go to the fraternity party, which they know about through the friend in the fraternity. It all goes from there.

Maybe it's just because I know a lot of people at my uni who also grew up in this town, but it sounds like a common enough situation to me. Doesn't make it right, just means that it does happen.

Yep, that girl was me. (hiding head in shame) My group of girlfriends and I spent just about every saturday night of our junior and senior years of high school at the Pitt fraternity houses when we were supposed to be at one another's houses.

Looking back, not a wise thing to do, right? But the bright side is that if either of my daughters ever try to pull that crap on me, I'll (hopefully) be one step ahead of them
