Cutting or pledging a group for dumb reasons

[AOII Angel]

My sister actually dropped Sigma Kappa because they did a Willy Wonka skit during rush and some girl did such a fantastic Veruca Salt impersonation that it freaked my sister out. She could only think about Veruca Salt girl when she thought about Sigma Kappa! Now that's a weird reason to cut a group.

That's pretty funny. Darn them and their good acting! We don't want people to drop SK because of it.

My sister never was a big Willy Wonka fan, but I LOVE the original Gene Wilder extravaganza. I would go to town in that candy land with the chocolate river!!! I don't remember them doing a Willy Wonka skit when I went through.

P.S. I just remembered...they did it for open house. You got a golden ticket to tour Sigma Kappa. They changed their party after that year so I never got to see it!

Was she the purple one?

Veruca was the spoiled one, if I remember correctly. In which case oh wow...that could be a really obnoxious part.

That is right. The girl who was purple had the name of Violet Beauregard. The oompa loompas squeezed the grape juice out of her.

I do remember Veruca Salt, and she was a rich, spoiled brat. She wanted her "oompa loompa NOW".

Blueberry...unless they changed it in the new movie.

Nope, she's still a blueberry:

Hahahaha...had I been in that chapter, I probably would have been a shoe-in for that part. Every once in a while I get told that I slightly resemble Veruca Salt - and, at that age, I *did*. Even as recently as a few months ago, a colleague googled a picture of her and taped it to my inbox outside my cubicle.
