i had a girl last spring that asked everyone in my bumping group what their parents did for a living and where they vacationed. i heard from the other bumpers in my group that she had refused to talk to them - the only reason she talked to me was because i told her that my dad was a retired lawyer which was fine with her until she pressed for more info and i mentioned that he had done a lot of pro bono work during his career tied to the chicano rights movement. she did wind up getting a bid form another group though

Weirdly, it was VERY common for both the PNMs and the Sisters to ask these type of questions, albeit very candidly, during (rush) when I was an active. One of my best friends from another chapter was cut from her legacy chapter - where her grandmother had been a founder, and both aunts & her mother were sisters - because she hadn't been to Europe yet! Worse, they TOLD her grandmother the reason! But it all worked out well, as she became an ADPi!

Similarly, the worst PNM I can remember dropped the F-bomb during a party. So many sisters were so upset that, even though she got a bid, our chapter was torn in half over her - and she never did get initiated!

So, if you think Recruitment is tough now, it used to be even more restrictive!

That had to be the 9th floor sorority! Believe me, if the 2nd floor sorority cared about stuff like that I wouldn't have made it past the first round! lol

It happened at WVU, at a sorority not at Pitt. Although, we DID have three 9th floor legacies!

We had one this year that texted during the entire time she was there. She ended up dropping out of recruitment. Rumor has it she had her heart set on one chapter and was even rude to the Gamma Chi's.
