I tried to cope by meeting people in the dorms. Classes were starting and that was a welcome distraction. It seemed that every time I went out, I would get the same message from Martha – that a girl kept calling but insisted she could not leave a message. I couldn’t imagine who it was and didn’t think much about it. Then, the phone rang while I was there and Martha answered it. She whispered that it was for me and it was the same girl who had been calling for days. I picked up and it was Cherie, the pledge trainer at Kilkenny wanting to know if I would like to join their pledge class. After my initial shock wore off, I asked her how this could happen, and she said that I would need to talk to the campus Greek Advisor – that she couldn’t really talk about it. If I wanted to accept, I needed to meet at the Kilkenny house right away. Martha was overhearing this and figured it out and started screaming and laughing. The she got on the phone with Cherie and they laughed – Cherie had no idea it was another Kilkenny answering the phone all those times!
Martha went with me to the Greek Life office. I was told by the Greek advisor that it was a “computer error” and was never told anything more. I wanted to know if I was an afterthought – as much as I wanted to be a Kilkenny, I did not want to be there if they didn’t really want me. The Greek advisor wasn’t very informative, but she told me that the error was not on the part of Kilkenny, and that Panhel was doing everything they could to help correct the problems from rush.
So, Martha and I headed over to the Kilkenny house, which was, of course,
Alpha Omicron Pi!
