Not trying to be a conspiracy theorist or anything, this is all just very odd.

KSUViolet, I'll ride the conspiracy theorist bandwagon all around Philadelphia with you - I'm glad you had the balls to call her out on it.

Could someone please clarify something about this story for me though. Never having gone through sorority recruitment myself, I was under the impression that you were sort of given to a sister as you walked in the door and bumped around to other sisters while at the party. I assumed that you wouldn't even have the option of being so rude as to hide behind the snack table because you would be "forced" to talk to someone. What's the deal?

Sort of what I was thinking.

I know that every school is different, but generally, sorority members are paired off with PNMs and and that sister will eventually pair the PNM with another sister, and so on, so there's no really opportunity to go "sit back by the snac bar and ignore everyone." You're always talking to someone.

And to be honest, I doubt that a room full of sorority members isn't going to notice them doing so and attempt to engage them in conversation.
