Cutting or pledging a group for dumb reasons

[FSUZeta]

I dropped a house due to their ice breaker activity. First off, they were the only chapter out of the 18 to have an ice breaker, so I thought it was very odd. We PNMs were each handed an oddly shaped piece of felt as we entered their foyer and were then escorted by our hostess into the dining room. We talked for a while and then the president called the room to attention and gave a short speech. She then invited us, one by one, to stand up, introduce ourselves, and come up to the front and place our puzzle piece ( the weirdly shaped piece of felt) on a big board. I understand now that the purpose was to illustrate how we could all fit together in that sorority, but at the time all I could think about was how uncomfortable I was feeling and how I did not want to participate. I told my hostess that I would rather not participate and she told me that I had no choice. Well, I did participate but I did not accept their invitation to the next round. I was not the only one who felt that way. This activity bombed for that chapter. Not a good idea to make PNMs part of your entertainment.
