craziest Dirty Rushing story?

ForeverRoses · #1 08-27-2007, 03:07 PM

When I went through rush, lawn chants were still the norm. At the end of the party, we were escorted out the door and onto the front walk, then all the sisters would come out and do various songs and chants (think hyper pep rally)

While standing in front of one of the houses, the active right in front of us dropped a piece of paper while she was jumping, clapping and chanting. afterward, she turned and walked back inside the house. One of my fellow rush group members (who had just been rushed by this girl) picked up the piece of paper and written on it was a list of names with notes, stars and other symbols next to it. It was obviously a "cheat sheet" of the rushees from the party.

After we passed the note around (it was easy to decide if we should drop the house based on our rating!) she turned it in to the PX.

The next day the rusher who dropped the paper confronted the rushee and asked why she had turned it in. Turns out, she dropped it on purpose so that the rushee would know she "had" a spot.

Oh, and we had a house get in trouble during skit rounds when another house was doing a "Pepsi" themed skit. Several of the members of ABC started yelling "Drink Coke" in the middle of XYZ's chants (the chants usually followed the theme of the skits).

I'm sure the Pepsi house was mortified, but that is freaking funny.

It would have been funny if both houses were on the same tier- unfortunately the Pepsi house was struggling for numbers and the coke house was one of the strongest houses- so what the members said held allot of weight with the rushees.

D&B's pull publicly available information I believe. But DAMN.

I'm not sure if this story qualifies...

The summer following my Junior year, we kept the house open to both members and non-members (Greek and Non-Greek). The only qualification was the tenants needed to be female. During that summer, I made a lot of great friends with girls from other houses that lived with us.

There was one Independent that lived in the room next door. She was from a well-to-do suburb nicked named "ooo-ahh". She had gone through rush her freshmen year and had preffed ABC. She claimed that she was not extended a bid because there was a cap on how many girls could come from "ooo-ahh". None of us believed her; not my own sisters or those from other houses.

During the summer, we saw a lot of why we would not want her as a sister. Not only did Miss ooo-ahh have a QR, as it was known then (questionable reputation), we caught her several time sneaking her boyfriend up the fire escape at night and doing drugs. She was constantly calling members of ABC and when she would see any one at their house, she would run to see them.

When Miss Ooo-Ahh went through rush as a Sophomore so that she could again try to pledge ABC, she was cut in Round 1 from every house that had girls living with us that summer. I don't know if she made it to Round 4 with ABC, but she never was extended an offer to pledge.

To this day, I don't know if there was a cap on how many girls could be from Ooo-Ahh in ABC. They may have told her that to keep her from bugging them.

my impression from my brief google search was that a D&B was like a credit report... I certainly wouldn't consider mine to be made up of "publicly available info."

It's a credit report for BUSINESSES...you have to pay to be a member and pull reports, but it's mostly public info.

For an individual it would be publicly available information. You need social security numbers and more information to run a credit report. Now, that's not saying that your library fines or your dad's credit woes haven't become public information.
