I know lots of guys who would love you forever because of that.

Heck, I would love her because of that. It's one of those things that you "get it" or you don't. Oh, and a margarita helps with that too.

One of my Sigma Kappa sisters who was a Pi Chi told me this story. She was standing at the door of another sorority house at the end of their pref party. That chapter did the 'throw the (flower/pearl/key/etc) into the fountain and make a wish', and one of the sisters of that chapter told her PNM, "I hope your wish is the same as mine." The PNM waited until the sister was out of earshot, then turned to another girl in her rush group and said, "Only if your wish is for me to join Sigma Kappa!" Our Pi Chi about died laughing. That PNM is now one of my sisters!

And I forgot to include my own story - I was in one of the more 'proper' houses on our campus. We were using paint pens during their craft, and the other PNM in the room broke her orange paint pen all over her light blue pants and the carpet of the rusher's room. She and I both laughed (come on, I'm only human, and it was darn funny), and we were both dropped.

I went to the same college as my Biological sister, however she graduated the spring before I started. So while she was not there, she did have friends (and apparently) a few enemies still there.
When I went through rush I remember sitting in XYZ having a great time, loved the girl rushing me, etc. When the rush chair for the house aproached me and asked me if I was related to someone (and she mentioned my sister's name) of course I said that she was my sister. The rush chair simply said "oh you kind-of look like her" and walked away.
The next day I recieved my list of houses where I had been invited back and XYZ was not on the list. My sister called me later and I told her that I had been cut by XYZ and I told her the story of the rush chair. She started laughing and told me that the rush chair was the ex-girlfriend of her (then) current boyfriend (and my sister had nothing to do with the breakup).
So I apparently was cut based on who my sister is!

I have been wanting to tell this story for awhile...
When I went through recruitment, I was visiting this one sorority during philanthropy night. We were sitting down and working on a craft. This one girl was talking to me and then there was an wierd silence. Then I saw this other sister that I recognized, so I actually got up and moved to that girl. lol...no doubt, that did not put me in the best light.

Funny side note: The girl I recognized was actually a girl I met here on GC. So I guess GC is the reason I got cut!

I'm a pretty new GC poster, so I think this thread is great...I think sharing these kinds of stories helps show people that sometimes being released is serendipitous...and even great girls sometimes get released by sororities that didn't know better in the first place.
Anyway, here's my contribution...
I rushed at Ole Miss, where everything seems SO "high stakes." I didn't realize until AFTER rush how much meeting-and-greeting goes on at bars and other hotspots (we have a delayed rush). So, before rush I had been hanging out in my dorm and just doing on-campus activities, trying to avoid getting a scandalous reputation. But during rush several girls asked what kinds of bars I liked, etc (they're really not supposed to do that, but people run out of things to talk about...) and I didn't know what to say--I hadn't been to ANY of them at all! I was at ABC, where my cousin had been president a few years before. I knew that I didn't really fit in there, but I wanted them to like me. Of course one girl asked me that question. I knew the house had a little bit of a "party girl" reputation so I blurted out really fast..."oh you know, I don't really drink, but I'm not anti-social I PROMISE!! I'd just rather be the DD or something!"

...It sort of went on like this for a few minutes, with us talking about how admirable designated drivers are and whatnot...and it just got more and more awkward, and I sounded more and more like a goody-two-shoes...needless to say, I was not asked back for pref. But...I had tons of DG friends who already knew that I wasn't the kind of person you'd want to talk about bars with. But it's all for the best--I look back now and wonder what was I thinking even trying to fit in there??!!

Lesson learned, though: I made sure to avoid bars and "going out" conversations at ALL COSTS the next year, just so that no "goody two shoes" PNM's out there had to feel awkward like I did

At one house I ended up talking with two other PNMs and two sisters, one who was my Orientation Assistant from the year before. She made a comment about how she was the worst OA ever and asked me what my opinion was about it. I had no idea what to say because she was a bad OA so I think there was an awkward silence where I tried to laugh in agreement and just made myself look foolish...

At another house all of the girls were super excited that I lived in Kentucky. So after about the tenth introduction of "this is reverie, SHE LIVES IN KENTUCKY!" I think I started looking a little pissed off.

this thread is hilarious, it makes me appreciate being a guy

It's been a long time since I went through rush, so the details are kinda fuzzy. But, I clearly remember leaving one of the rooms (my campus didn't have houses, so all the groups decorated classrooms) saying, "This is college - why are these women playing Patty-Cake?" My rho chi heard me, and of course she was in that chapter. Aack!

I didn't get invited back. I'll never really know why, but I'd guess that I couldn't hide my look of surprise (and embarrassment for the women in that sorority) well enough.

Looking back, I'm glad I wasn't invited back to their parties. They were nice and all... just not my kind of people.
