Oh yes...
Back to November...
Our local had a ceremony for the semester after you initiated where you would receive your own badge. Your big would ask your parents, boyfriends, friends on campus, etc. for cards/presents for you, to show you that there are people outside of the house who care for you as well. When the big contacted these people, she stated clearly that you were not to tell the girl about what was going on.
A few days before my pinning ceremony, as we called it, my boyfriend said, "Oh yeah, a girl named Christin sent me a Facebook message asking if I wanted to buy a present for you. I just ignored it." I was angry for so many different reasons. One of the reasons that he didn't like sororities was because of all the secrets that we had, and he didn't understand why it was such a big deal. That's why he didn't keep my big's message a secret from me. Also, the fact that he wasn't going to put in any sort of effort for this special occasion in my life was incredibly disappointing. Then, he didn't even have the courtesy to send her a response.
Pinning came, and my parents had bought me a beautiful sapphire ring (at my big's suggestion, who had received jewelry from her mom for her pinning), and my friends wrote cards to me. There was also a vase with a dozen pink roses on the table, and my big said, "The roses are from your boyfriend." I was very surprised, but I also didn't believe my big, sadly.
When I talked to my boyfriend later that night, I questioned him about the roses. He repeated that he had ignored the message, and he didn't tell Christin to buy anything for me. Christin later told me that when he didn't respond to her, she wasn't sure what to do and guessed that he was just too busy and either never got the message or forgot to respond.
A few weeks after the incident, we broke up.
