Weird things always seem to happen at recruitment parties. I have been working with the recruitment team through various roles at my campus and it never seems to surprise me what some women do during recruitment. Some women get so freaked out by the rules that they tend to focus so hard on the wrong things and say stupid stuff.
As a recruitment chair, people would ask the strangest questions. One potential new member entered my chapter in desperate need of femine products because she unexpectedly got her period. Understanding that there is no "gift giving" in rush, she asked me if it was OK to leave the house with the tampon, as that could be considered as a gift. I reassured her that it wasn't a gift and that we most certainly did not want it back.
I also have had several experiences with PNM's being rude and saying things about sisters in my house. During one recruitment, a girl stuck her finger down her throat in the formal room of my house. If I was recruitment chair then, I would have grabbed her by her ear and thrown her out.
This past fall, I had an issue with Rho Chi's from other houses breaking rules. They started wandering around my house without permission, going in rooms that were closed (some had voting material) and they were making rude comments about the house. They of course denied it and it never got resolved, but recruitment brings out the strangest things in people!!!
