The Rho Chi's were upset that you wanted to dry off after getting hit by a water balloon? What did they want you to do-- go in sopping wet and pretend like everything was okay?

yeah, i thought that was strange too! I was miserable and SOAKING WET! come to find out one of my Rho Chi's was a member of YELLOW and prob. thought I just wanted an easy out?? crazy.

Fastest retro thread ever!! I can't believe how insensitve the Rho Chi's were!

And... AMEN to boring workdays.

Are you going to reveal chapters with the code colors?

You totally can't control getting hit by a water balloon, and your rho chis were wrong for acting that way.

But I can remember girls choosing at which houses they would ask to use the restroom. They didn't want to miss any time at a favorite group, so asking to use the restroom during a party was a big sign of disinterest.

(It could sometimes be worked out that a PNM could go in while the rush group was waiting outside between rounds, so it wasn't like not asking required superhuman restraint.)

I mention this only because if your rho chi thought you were taking all party to dry off, she might have taken it for disinterest in the group as irrational as that was under your particular circumstances.

I see this differently. That perhaps the Rho Chis simply did not want you to miss any of the parties. Especially the disaffiliated Yellow PX since it was *her* chapter. She may have thought you might be a good fit. And if you missed her chapter's party, you wouldn't get to know her sisterhood etc.

Regardless, it does sound like they might have handled the situation better.

Love Pi Phi, love the whole Monmouth Duo connections. Always feel connected to Pi Phi and thing it is greeeaaat we share a heritage, kinda like ADpi and Phi Mu and that Fmarville ones and Sycracuse ones. Loved it you grew to love Pi Phi. All of my friends really, really love Pi Phi. I love the arrow. Weird, on of the girls in my field, different school was a Pi Phi and we got to be best friends last year in Europe. I had never been there and she had so she helped me a whole lot. I love her. I wish they had Pi Phi were I go to school and I could get her to transfer. She is a real Angel. So happy for you. YAY! LOL
