It always amazes me how some girls are scared to death of a Rush Infraction from Panhellenic, but don't worry at all in breaking federal and state laws every night of the week!


OK...back to the story!

My chapter was taught that it is ok to say "I want you here" but not "WE want you here". Basically, you can give YOUR opinion and use the word "I" but not speak for the chapter, as that would be bid promising by using the word "we".

We were always allowed to say things like "I hope to see you back," or, on Pref Night, "I hope to see you tomorrow." The only thing that was off limits were the infamous "Bs" and out-and-out bid promising. On my campus, saying something like "I really want you here", etc. would have been construed as kind of tacky/overbearing, but not against any set rule.

Our chapter had troubles with the rush rules, and this is one we truly questioned. Our CPC said that as along as a bid isn't promised or implied, it is not an infraction. Saying that you hope to see someone on Bid Day is fine, saying you will see someone on Bid Day is wrong.

So am I right in assuming then that you never drank underage?

Not that this has anything to do with this thread, but yes, your assumption is correct. The legal drinking age was 18 when I was in school. I didn't drink alcohol until I was 20 and managed to be president of my sorority having never consumed a beer.

The next day was a quiet period between Pref Night and Bid Day. I swear the silence made time pass more slowly! By late afternoon, I was sitting alone in my room (I had a rather bizarre roommate who thankfully left for the weekend) counting the minutes. Our Gamma Chis were over fifteen minutes late! I walked out into the hall to find a group of frustrated PNMs. We were about to angrily dial their cell phones (stress!) when our Gamma Chis came flying down the hall with armfuls of jerseys. We quickly ran into our rooms and closed the doors. Unfortunately for me I was at the end of the hall…

Would I even get a bid?
And if so, was I a Plath or Eliot?
Would I be happy with the outcome?

A tap on my door. The Gamma Chis stood before me with a white envelope. I quickly tore it open and screamed. They handed me a jersey in the colors of…..
