my hostess at one of the first houses
i visited when i went thru recruitment would've profitted from reading this thread. she was so unenthusiastic that it was not funny. she didn't even try to carry on a conversation with me and halfway thru the party said,"oh, i see someone i know over there. i'm going to say hello."and she did. i was left totally alone for the rest of the party(i don't blame the rest of the sorority, we were a big group and everyone was busy with a guest), but you can all imagine how i felt. i was close to tears.luckily, i went to the rest of the houses that day and had a wonderful time and by the end of the day was glad that i kept at it. my only regret is that i didn't get an invitation from them for their second party, because i was going to decline!!
my point to potential new members is, you may meet a rude person and she may be rude to you. do not take it personally. she did not know me,so how could it be personal? i was invited back to all the houses but that one
(16 out of 17 is not bad), got the maximum number of invites for the remainder of recruitment and ended up in the house i wanted, so she had the problem, not me!this same house(the one with the rude member) also dropped a friend of mine, who had her heart set on them, and she ended up dropping out of rush, only to pledge another sorority in the spring. this young woman ended up being homecoming queen our senior year. so sororities can make mistakes. don't let it ruin your life.
