Creepy COB Story
Oh! I forgot to tell a creepy story from COB. So I mentioned our "perennial PNMs" before. Well, there's one in particular with a very weird history with the chapter - I'll call her Shelly. She COBed last fall but didn't receive a Bid. When that happened she freaked out and caused a lot of trouble for Venus. She went to the Greek Life office and told the director we were mean to her and tried to haze her in the rush room (which is obviously ridiculous) and told him she was starting her own sorority. When the school was considering NPC expansion last fall, she jumped on it and somehow got the impression she was going to be the president of the new sorority. When, for a number of reasons, Panel decided against opening for expansion, she absolutely freaked out and wrote all this stuff online about how she was going to transfer, but never did. During all this time, she was stalking one of our then-New Members, "May", who had COBed with Shelly but had received a Bid. Shelly would call May at weird hours, and once invited her to lunch only to grill her about the New Member program and what Venus was doing. May was obviously weirded out and cut ties with her - she had never met her before COB and really didn't know her very well.
Sooo COB rolls around this year, and Shelly's back! We were very surprised after everything that happened last fall, but we were obviously cordial to her. According to May, last night (the final round of COB) Shelly brought May flowers and hung around her all night, then after the event was over she went home and changed her Facebook status to "I LOVE MAY!!!" Our poor sister was really weirded out by it. And when the PNM didn't get a bid (again), she freaked out (again).
I feel kind of bad for Shelly, but I honestly don't know how she could expect to get a bid after acting the way she has...
