ree-xi, I'm 30 and work with military students...I get called ma'am all the time. LOL Oh well, I guess I can consider it an honor. The scary part is that, in four year's time, I'll officially be old enough to be their mother!


4est, what's done is done. I understand that it was a sensitive subject for you; but, you cannot afford any slip-ups right now. Next time, like nittany said, just play it cooler. No need to try and bring it up if you don't have to do so.

And for future reference - I've yet to ever hear anyone say "Wow - I really wish I had drunk more."

the members of the fraternity are already in the fraternity, so it really doesn't matter if they makes asses of themselves or not. you, however, are hoping to join a fraternity, so you should be minding your "p's" and "q's". take one drink and nurse if along for the entire evening-you'll keep your wits about you but not come across as a prude. or have a gingerale-it will be hard for anyone to tell if you have a mixed drink or are just having a gingerale.

as to your aforementioned problem, i'm not trying to pry, but we can't give you our best advice not knowing the entire situation. given what you have told us, i would say not to mention the incident unless it is brought up-but you have to acknowledge it if it is. you need to be careful what you say about it, because to deny it ever happened could make you look like a liar and that would definately not be good.
