craziest Dirty Rushing story?

I am new to GC, so please forgive me if there has been a previous thread on this. I did a search, but didn't find anything.

My question is: what is the most egregious dirty rushing example you have heard of or had happen to you??

I'm writing this because I just attended a welcome party for my alma mater, where students who had been accepted to the college could mingle with current students and alumni. I heard an XYZ sister tell an incoming freshman girl that if she wanted a bid, "I can make it happen". I was really blown away and didn't know what to say! Now, I think she was recently initiated, so probably didn't know the rules (much less that one sister cannot guarantee the whole house will agree) but I have heard crazy stories from UGA about people being taken out of the houses during rounds, etc.

What is your craziest story?

At a school near me [which only has locals], one of the chapters was suspended by the school for telling 35 girls that they had bids...and then only giving out 15 [or so]. The remaining girls complained to the administration, because they had [obviously] not pursued other options.

This same group also hazes like CRAZY. You would not even believe some of the stuff they do there. I know this because my best friend is in another sorority at that school, and her little sister is in that sorority.

This is something my friend told me about that happened when she rushed in 2003.

At KSU, the 3rd day of recruitment is House Tours/Video Day (the round before Pref). Well, my friend was at XYZ's House Tour party. This was her 2nd of the day, she'd gone to ABC right before that. She was more into ABC than XYZ at this point, but her PX insisted that she go to both.

So she goes to XYZ and everyone is being super nice to her. She didn't think anything of it. After their video, a sister takes her on a house tour.

Normally, the sororities take girls around and show off a few of the bedrooms. The doors are kept open and there are usually a couple sisters and PNMs touring the same rooms so they're never alone with a sister in any room.

Well, my friend is touring the house, and her rusher takes her to a bedroom and shuts the door behind her. My friend was like "umm why did you shut the door?" The sister tells her that she has something to show her. She reaches under a desk and pulls out an XYZ bid day bag & shirt!

My friend was pretty confused. The sister told her that her PX was an XYZ, and she'd heard from her that she had gone to ABC that day but that she was "in love with us" (which wasn't true). The sister then proceeded to tell her that she was already invited to Pref and that on Bid Night, she was guaranteed to be an XYZ.

My friend was flabbergasted. She didn't know the rules or anything, so she had no clue this was completely wrong. She just kind of smiled and they continued with the tour. She was thoroughly creeped out that the XYZ's had cornered her like that, especially since she was already on the fence about them to begin with. She also thought it was creepy that they'd been talking to her PX (who was telling them something that wasn't even true). After that experience, she was totally sure she didn't want to be an XYZ.

So when she got her Pref invites, she didn't go to XYZ (told the PX she was "sick"), preffed only ABC and got a bid from them later that night! Later that night, her PX (who was indeed an XYZ) called her on her cell phone (while she was at the ABC house celebrating) and left her a message saying "I'm really wondering why you didn't pref us today, everybody loved you and we guaranteed you a spot and you'll totally regret being an ABC." She never called her back and never regretted joining ABC.

KSUviolet06 - WOW! That is horrible. I'm glad in that instance that the "bad guy" didn't win. I can't believe that happened! Talk about infractions galore!

A few years before I rushed, a senior (obviously someone who should know better) locked a PNM in a bathroom at a party with some of her sisters and tried to convince her to go XYZ. Needless to say, she'd didn't pledge them.

That is seriously SCARY. When I was an undergraduate, there was a sister of a GLO that will remain nameless that stood outside a residence hall drunk, screaming at a PNM that "XYZ is the BEST! If you don't go XYZ, you won't have any friends." They definitely got a fine for that.

It seems like every year that I was in college, we'd have pledges from XYZ sorority tell their friends in our new member class that they really liked us but their new "sisters" told them during rush that we were getting kicked off campus. That was always fun, especially when our new members came to us all upset.
