Additionally, you never know if there are women who would like to be Muffins. That all just sounded overly negative to me. </soapbox>

We were nonchalantly chit chatting it up when they begin to serve us our little treats. Do you know what they served? CUPCAKES! I got way too excited and tried to explain to this poor girl how I have an inexplicible obsession with anything and everything to do with cupcakes. She thought this was really funny and also admitted that she too had a deep felt love for cupcakes. She also disclosed to me that there was a cupcake shop downtown! I probably got way too excited about this fact, but she took it all in really good stride. Their preference ceremonies were really pretty, really heart felt, and I thought very genuine. They all really seemed to have a strong connection with each other (though they do have difficulty communicating with others, maybe too dependent on the sorority?) and their bond as sisters really seems to go beyond that of greek affiliation. They sang really pretty songs and I got goosebumps.

Maybe it's just me, but she didn't say anything negative about the sorority as a whole, she said that the girl who began rushing her was awkward. Just because she felt this one girl was awkward and uncomfortable should not/would not reflect on the sorority as a whole. I'm sure every single one of us can pick a girl in our respective houses/chapters that was just awkward at rush. Some girls just can't rush, plain and simple. But it sounds like from the post that once dessert was served, that the conversation seemed less forced. Plus, she went on to say that the preference ceremony gave her goosebumps. And as for the "difficulty communicating", that is just her opinion.
I have read
worse than the above on GC from PNM's.
