a quick post script..............

I am sure you all are wondering WHAT in the hell was wrong with Lynn, the PNM in my group that was insistent on the fact that Zetas were bitches? Later on during new member period I found out why. Apparently she had come through informal in the fall. When it came time for invites to the invite only party to be distributed, Lynn didnt get one. The chapter had released her. Well clearly she couldnt take no for an answer and called our recruitment chair and informed her that she couldnt attend the invite only party due to band, but she could not wait to see the sisters on bid day Lynn told ME that she had been blown off by the sisters because of her involvement in band, when it turned out that she was just a presumptuous freak LOL. And here's where it gets weirder. She depledged from Weezer a few weeks into pledging. She really was a terrible fit for that chapter, she had been a legacy there. The next fall, who shows up at our informal recruitment parties? You guessed it. Lynn. She went through formal recruitment AGAIN the following spring. We had to sick our friendliest sister on her, who could basically talk to a rock as to not to subject any of the younger sisters to her. She was a second semester Junior by that point. Finally, in Fall of '00, she showed up YET AGAIN to informal. That would have been the beginning of her senior year. THANK GOD she finally got the message that time and didn't try to go through formal again. Yup, she was the PNM who never went away.

Awwww, what a great story! I truly wasn't sure which "band" you would end up joining, but it ended up being a wonderful ending! A (10 year belated) congrats to you and Zeta!

Edit: Whoa to Lynn! Some people just don't pick things up.

After you commented that the Bosstones served your favorite dessert, I was torn between thinking that they were ZTA or the Pumpkins were. I wondered if your favorite dessert had something to do with strawberries.

This story has been so much fun to read! And you ended up where you and your sisters felt you belonged, which was the best part. I love a good retro thread.

Aww thanks! And the dessert is only a giveaway to UMDers. Its a specific dessert this chapter served during set of 5 and I think they STILL serve it only at pref now. Lindz, this should be a dead giveaway

I also jumped on the strawberry shortcake band wagon...I thought I was so clever.

As soon as I read the Pref bit at Smashing Pumpkins I knew! haha

It is great to hear that UMD is doing well, I never got to meet any girls because with crew I couldn't attend ZTA Day and I was abroad for Officer Training.
