Worst Greek date experience

PM_Mama00 · #1 01-06-2002, 02:08 PM

Ok...there were a few posts about this before, but I wanted to bring the topic up again. What is the worst semi/formal/date party experience you've had since being a Greek?

Mine? Last semi formal, the night went great and I went with a GDI who I had liked for a while, and he was friends with a lot of the girls in my sorority so I didn't have to babysit him. Well we had the after party at his house, and he ended up inviting over this girl that he was dating. I know we're just friends, but come on?

This past semi formal, I was bringing this guy that I had liked for about a year, and we were really good friends, even though we fought a lot. I had asked him to numerous date parties, and he finally said yes. We got into a fight a week before semi formal, and he told me he didn't want to go anymore. This all after I had bought a really pretty dress and made my hair appointment. I work at the salon, and everytime I saw my appointment in the book, I started crying (because him going iwth me meant a lot). The week of he changes his mind and decides to still go with me. Then on that Thursday nite, he changes his mind again. Two days before and I'm left without a date. My friends told me to ask one of his brothers who wanted to go to our semi formal, so I did. Barely talked to him at all that nite, but he hung out with one of his brothers, and I hung out wtih my sister who brought the brother.

Moral: Boys...always startin trouble!

I have a story!!!!

I brought this guy with me to my date function who was pledging XYZ fraternity. A lot of my sisters brought guys from XYZ on the date function.
The whole time all the older brothers decided to do their pledge stuff with him. My date was so drunk that he wasn't even aware of what was going on. The guys would be like, "Hey Pledge! Stand here and watch my food for about hour. Make sure no one touches it." And he would do it! So, I just left him and hung out with my sisters. He finally caught up with me an hour later when another brother was like, "Hey Pledge! You need to watch my food now." He was such a wimp that he didn't have the guts to say no. So, I turned to the brother and said, "This is my date function! You are not doing your little pledge stuff here! Not on my time!" I dragged my date away. My date wouldn't talk to me for the rest of the night because he said that I embarrassed him in front of his brothers because he needed a girl to stick up for him.

We ignored each other for the rest of the night and never spoke again.

This actually happened to a friend of mine, but I'll share anyways.

We had pledged together the fall of our sophomore year. So when it was time for Spring Formal, we were all excited to get to go. I took a friend of mine, who happened to be friends with a lot of the people in Phi Beta. My friend, we'll call her Sara, had been quasi-dating this guy from Quebec for months, so she took him.

We got to the place and had dinner, and then it was time to dance. Well, Sara's date wouldn't dance at all. (My date, on the other hand, danced with everyone

... good thing he's my friend!) So she was just sitting at the table with him. About 10 or 10:30p.m. he says he's tired and wants to go upstairs to bed!!! So, he LEAVES SARA at the party, and goes up to their room. Of course, she's upset and tells me and a few other friends, so we all go upstairs and wake him up. He never did come back down to the party I don't think. Ugh.. stupid Quebec boys

OK, I've got one. This past semester, I invited my out-of-state boyfriend to our Fall Formal, and he was thrilled about going. He was having a friend drive him down (because he's an international student who has no car) and everything was all sorted, so I spent all evening getting ready. He was supposed to pick me up at 7:30, but when he was a little late I didn't worry because I knew the drive was a couple hours long and a few minutes wasn't going to make a big difference. Then at 8 o'clock, I get a phone call: my boyfriend couldn't make it because the guy who was to drive him down got in trouble and was forbidden to take the car. He said he'd been trying for hours to find someone else to give him a ride, but everyone had refused. I know it wasn't really his fault, but I was really upset because I had been looking forward to it all semester and I looked really nice, if I do say so myself. I cried and cried and cried...for two and a half hours, to be exact. Knowing that he was sitting in his dorm room all dressed up but with no ride frustrated me more than anything! But my roommate was absolutely awesome--she hadn't been planning to go to formal, but as soon as she heard what happened she ran down the hall to borrow a dress so that I wouldn't have to go alone.

So now I joke that even though Cinderella had to go to the ball without her prince, she still had a (nice) sister to keep her company!

This is a true story that did not happen to me, but it's a classic so I'll share. Several of my friends and sorority sisters reported it to me so I know that it's true. A nameless fraternity had their Spring Formal. At the table where some of my sisters were sitting, one of the brothers and his girlfriend were bickering and then it got into arguing and then he got nasty. He told her to shut up and some other equally rude things. She got mad and not your normal mad, but 'this is the last straw we're over' mad. He had told her to shut up and other rude things so she told him it was over, walks up to the d.j. and says something to him. Next thing you know the formal is over because the d.j. is going home with this brother's date.

ok here goes. this just happened to me and i am still a little bitter. we were having our winter formal in ocean city maryland and my friend matt said he would go with me (he volunteered!!). four days before hand i reminded him that the party was that friday night and he said no problem. the day of, my friend heather and i went and got our hair done and i drove home to NJ from our school in Delaware so that the boy wouldn't get lost. it is a four hour drive from my house to maryland and we were leaving at 3:30pm. at 2 i called matt and asked him if he was ready. he said to me and this i quote "that's tonight? i'm going hunting so i guess i can't go" (he went hunting all week, what was one day gonna do?!) so an hour and a half before we had to leave i was dateless. i was sooo pissed and called all my other guy friends, but they couldn't go because they had to work. as a last resort, i called my friend melissa and she said she would go. bless her little heart. i haven't let matt off the hook yet, i won't return his phone calls or talk to him...yet.

I would say that I had a better time at my functions(either formal, semi-formal, or date party) than any of the sorority functions I've been too. I think most of it had to do with the fact that when I went to a girls function she spent most of her time with her sisters and in those situations I found it not enjoyable. Plus it was pretty tough when I went to a function and the girls there werent very social with me. However, I guess there were certin aspects of going to a girls function that were pretty cool.

Okay, Spring Formal, I had just been initiated, superpsyched because I had a kickin' dress. I took my friend Matt, who was still pledging ATO at the time. We went with my best friend and her boyfriend to dinner beforehand at a really nice restaurant in Georgetown. On the cab ride over, Matt is on his cell phone THE WHOLE WAY with his parents in NJ, who want him to depledge because he keeps complaining about how tired and worn out he is from pledging. He's literally screaming into the phone at them. Umm, ok....

Then we get to the restarant, a really nice Italian place. Matt keeps complaining how tired he is, so he PUTS HIS HEAD DOWN ON THE TABLE AND SHUTS HIS EYES. I couldn't believe it. Just when I thought I couldn't get any more embarassed (when I came back from the bathroom, he didn't even get up from his chair, just scooted it in so I could squeeze past), he spilled half a dish of olive oil from the bread on my lap... ruining my dress. I thought I was going to kill him. Decided to go to formal anyways, figuring hey, I can still have fun, right? Wrong.

He got WASTED within half an hour and spilled his *full* drink all over me. Spent the whole time with his pledge brothers who were there, and said probably 2 words to me. Those words were "I'm sorry" when he stepped on and BROKE my toe on the dance floor. Decided I'd had absolutely ENOUGH and peaced out, took a cab home at 11:45 pm. GoodNIGHT.

Then , he has the nerve to complain to our mutual friends the next day, saying what a horrible date I was. WTF???

AlphaChiS2K,
I think your story takes the cake for being the worst Greek date function!

Starlet · #10 01-07-2002, 02:20 AM

Oh my! That's horrible AlphaChiS2k! Well mine isn't THAT bad, but it was probably one of the most stressful times of my life. I was almost ready for my spring formal when my date called, literally 20 minutes before he was supposed to pick me up! Well he had the nerve to tell me that he couldn't go to my formal because he was too sick and had been throwing up all day. I was totally stressing and decided to call this guy I had taken to my dated party, who I kind of liked. But he tells me that he's going to my formal with another one of my sisters! Ahhh! Luckily, my guy friend in XYZ (who's in the same house as the guy who cancelled on me), who already had plans for that night, cancelled them so he could take me. Though all of his brothers assured me that he had been really really sick, I was still pissed at him and haven't seen him since. But thankfully, my friend came to the rescue and I had a great time, despite being stood up 20 min. before I left for my formal!!!

what was your best date?

deltajas · #14 01-07-2002, 04:46 PM

Every formal or semi formal I have gone alone or brought a friend.
But here is my story from this years date party.
A guy I had just started dating in XYZ already had plans to go to another sorority semi formal that same night(before we were seeing eachother) Apparently she was younger and in "love" with him, and he made it clear he wanted to be friends. He wanted to cancel on her but I felt bad and told him not to, and that we could meet up later. We all ended up at the same bar after and he immediately came over to me complaining that she was drunk and tried kissing him all night, etc.
So, I could see her looking at us whenever he was talking to me. She kept swearing at him and whatever, so we decided to leave.
She called his phone 30 times that night, and IM him all these nasty IM's.
He wanted to never talk to her again, but I made him be friends with her(her sor sister and mine live together)
I mean I felt really bad for her, and I knew she had her freshmen "love'' for him, but she knew he was dating me, and if it were not for me he would have ditched her. Even so I still fell bad.
Ok that was my most exciting/most drama filled date party yet!
One more to go

sometimes date functions just don't work out. my first semi-formal my friend who was supposed to come couldn't come at the last second.... so i ended up taking my friends friend... but it worked out okay.
my valentines function i took a guy who we were, "more than friends." the night went perfect up till the after party. we went to this one frat house and it wasn't his frat and he didn't know anyone. i guess i didn't pay enough attention to him.... he wasn't really having fun. then when he was ready to go i still wanted to stay, so that really pissed him off. he made sure he told my answering machine how he felt that night.
my semi formal this year i took one of my good friends. we had a great time. he was definately that guy... he had drank all day watching football.... at dinner he was hammered, but it was fine. his friend went with one of my sisters, and he was hammered too.
sometimes the frat guy is not the best date, and a friend is much better.
