Why Paris Hilton Will Never Be a Kappa Kappa Gamma

[James]

Interesting. If Paris Hilton went through recruitment at a school with a large Greek System, do people truly believe she wouldn't get a bid?

Not my chapter. With the grade risk, the risk management, and (oh, the horror!) the jail sentence, I highly doubt that she'd be considered.

Money can buy a lot of things, but not intelligence nor class.

Just a random tidbit about the fleur-de-lis thing, it's one of the symbols of Florence, Italy. EVERYWHERE has the fleur-de-lis symbols (palaces, emblems, street lamps, on sewer guards)
The decorative boarder on this building made me think of KKG (i took the picture when I was there this past summer)-


keys and fleur-de-lis!



andddd I'll bite

I'd choose Hilary Duff over either of the Olsen's.
I'd choose old school Britt over old school Christina, but new school Christina over new school Britt.
and Jessica over Ashley.

According to wikipedia, that's considered a "Florentine Lily" with the difference being it has the stylized stamen whereas the traditional fleur de lis does not.

Personally, I like them both!

This almost sounds like the thread might turn into a "bid" version of "who'd you rather ____?"

I'm pretty sure that Paris Hilton would never make grades, since I can't visualize her attending any classes.

Back when the bubblegum pop scene was big, there were rumors constantly floating around UCF that Britney, Christina and Mandy were going to be attending school there and rushing. Orlando was the center of that pop scene so it made sense. I guess that's how the rumors got started in the first place. You wouldn't believe the things the sororities would say to each other. "Christina will join our sorority because we're the party girls", "Mandy will join our sorority because we're the good-girls", "Britney will join our sorority because we're the fun, athletic girls". I remember hearing a few of my sisters discussing how they'd handle the security issues should one of them join our chapter. Of course, this was all circa 2000 through 2002 so it was before a lot of the recent incidents but these girls were still highly sought after. Maybe our nationals would have told us differently had these girls actually gone through recruitment but, at the time, all the sororities on campus were discussing amongst themselves how they'd convince these girls that their chapter was the best for them.

As an alum, I can look back and be grateful that none of them (well, except for Mandy) went to UCF nor went through recruitment. It would have been a huge risk management issue to have them in our chapters. I think many collegiate members feel differently, though. Could you imagine the prestige and the popularity that would have come along with bidding the 2000 Britney??? The collegiate members don't see the potential drawbacks that could occur. I know a lot of us are saying that we wouldn't want a girl like Paris or Britney in our chapters but that's because most of us are wise alum. I know that I felt differently back when I was 19/20 years old.

Wow, I just learned a lot about the origins of my username!!

Has anyone ever had a recruitment with a big name coming through? Not the local football star's daughter, but a BIG name? Jenna Bush at UT must have been crazy, and most people wouldn't know her if they saw her on the street (at least outside of Texas). There was a brief rumor that the Olsen twins were coming to Emory, and girls were already talking about how they wanted to talk to them during recruitment, speculating where they would go, etc. I don't think anyone could have focused much on anything else had they rushed!!

Our UCLA chapter pledged Danica MacKeller, who had just finished on Wonder Years. I wish I could tell you what excitement that caused, but I've never been to a California recruitment.

SOOO true ! There was an issue in my chapter that makes me think the EXACT same thing.

Or a Bid to Kappa Kappa Gamma.

And the book is for sale on the Kappa Website, they would mention if it was by an alum.

even if collegiate members wanted to take a gamble, i can promise you that powers that be would see that they went bidless.
