She's also one of those people who won't admit she doesn't know who the person on the other end is (no caller ID) so she'd spin them out until she figured out who they were. She once talked to one of my sorority sisters for five minutes before she figured out she was from my sorority, not hers.

My freshman year there was a "crowded double" down the hall from me who had three Jessicas living in it. My floor had around 25 girls living on it, and there were 10 Jessicas. It was insane.

I only had roommates for my freshman year. And I have no weird stories, other than my roommate stole a bunch of my makeup, and the turned around and used it to ruin a bunch of my clothes.

My first roommate used to watch the nearby guys' dorms and the fraternity houses with her binoculars.

There was a girl on my floor who "hooked up" with enough guys in the adjoining guys dorm that she literally had a dry erase board with tally marks. It wasn't outside on the door but I definitely saw it so it wasn't just a rumor.

I was fairly lucky in the roommate department, except my freshman year, we were tripled in a double room... The third girl just got placed with my roommate and I and we did our best to be friends, but we had other friends outside of just us three (obviously) but Tabitha took it upon herself to make friends with all of my friends (and slept with a number of my guy friends...)
It wasn't that big of a deal, but she was kind of um.. "backwoods" and basically a redneck, fine whatever, cool, I try to be open to whatever... but when she said that she used to eat roadkill... that was enough for me.

One of my roomates decided mid-year that she was suddenly of a different sexual orientation!

I could not wait to leave!!!!!!!

Dang! My chapter actually has a couple of repeated names that aren't even that common. (2 Noelles and 2 Alexas). Those Jessicas are crazy! (We have one active and one alumna Jessica, though...lol!)

Ok, now who says that's creepy? That's totally acceptable!

Slight hijack...my chapter, at its largest, was 12 members. There were 3 Jessicas. We called them all by their last names, and even though one is now married, we still call her that.

My roommate was a senior -living in the dorms. She was engaged to an Aggie and was very, very religious. As in, holier than thou. So, since God has a sense of humor, our suite mates were two lesbians. So my roommate started leaving little pamphlets (Are you SAVED? God's Plan for You type stuff) by their sink. They retailated by putting shaving cream on MY loofah.
I was a drama major, with weird hours.I tried to be considerate when I had to come in late at night. I also, oh NOES - went to the occasional party. (Drinking is evil, don't you know) She decided to move out because I was not "Christian" enough - mind you, I was active in Canterbury and a Christian drama group. Fun times . . .

Even if they meant to put it on her loofah, that isn't a very good prank. It's already in the shower and you can just wash it off!

Lol sorry, but that was the first thing I thought of.
