My Horror Story

[ChildoftheHorn]

Yeah Here it goes---

Well, I had a time slot right before my last house in the second set of recruitment - so I decided to meet up with my friends to grab some food. All the restaurants had too long of a wait, so we decided to eat at Taco Bell -aka "The Bell". In hindsight, not the greatest idea. Just as soon as I sit down in the house, my stomach starts making the loudest grumbles. Needless to say, everyone turned to me. The girls asked if i was OK, and I felt fine at the time. Plus, what was I supposed to do - you only have so much time in a house? * It was also my grandmother's sorority.* So the conversations were odd at best, always being interrupted by my stomach grumbles. Then, about 5 min before I was supposed to leave - I felt gas build up. I asked to use the bathroom, but she kept wanting to continue the conversation and said that it was almost time to leave anyway. I was fighting every urge in my body not to let it go. It was time to leave and right as I was heading out, it came out a silent - but deadly. Still, they knew it was me because of the stomach stuff earlier. It was so embarrassing, and I did not get invited back for the next (last) set. I think that we all know why....

TELL ALL YOUR FRIENDS!!!! DO NOT EAT TACO BELL BEFORE A MEETING!!!

*btw: I have never had that problem there since or before.. one time thing.

They say "everything happens for a reason" .. so judging by your signature, you ended up in a great house and I trust they were one of your favorites anyway otherwise you might not have joined them!

So really funny story, but I'm glad you had a happy ending!

childofthehorn is actually one of our new colonists at northwestern university-but i still agree that perhaps she was meant to eat at taco bell that evening!!

Wow, this is the first time we've had a girl admit to that happening during recruitment! Probably in fraternity rush, guys would've all joined in and played "Can You Top This?"

I agree with you 100% !! The nearly 120 girls who joined are the chillest, most friendly, and genuine girls I have met since coming to Northwestern. While going through recruitment, there was only one house I felt somewhat comfortable in - which was the one above. It really does show that everything happens for a reason and fate is real!

May I add as a side note that being a "colonist" is a fantastic opprotunity and I would normally not have the ability to be on leadership this early in a more established organization on campus. I would highly reccomend it to anyone!

About admitting it....I think that there are a few people reading this forum who are considering joining a Greek org. and understanding that it might just end up fine could be really important. It is a valuable life lesson. "To err is human, to forgive is divine." - Alexander Pope

*Also, all my friends that night also had food poisoning - many of them worse than mine. That Taco Bell actually has the highest health rating in Evanston and Evanston has more food places than many other areas in Chicago - one of the highest percentages for the amount of area nationwide! Like I said before.....fate.

I wasn't going to comment on this, but my mother was in an organization, sitting next to a woman who had the same "intestinal distress". Behind her was seated THE most prim and proper woman in the organization. The woman with the "problem" let loose, turned around the Mrs. Prim, and said, "Who did that?!"

If you're at Northwestern, welcome. Be sure to get someone to take you to Gulliver's & Super Dawgs sometime!
