Embarassing Rush Stories

[COBaby]

This should have been embarrassing for the PNM but somehow wasn't.

We had to sit on the floor for round 2, and we had a lot more girls than we were expecting, so it was really close quarters. All the girls are wearing cute knee-length dresses (so are we), and as they come in and sit down, they tuck their knees under themselves. Then my PNM comes in with no makeup, a short jean skirt, and a pair of black tights, and she sits down CROSS-LEGGED and there is a HUGE hole in her tights -literally the whole crotch is ripped- and she's wearing WHITE underwear. There's no way to not notice it, but of course I have to pretend like everything's normal. So I'm trying to talk to her, and she's kind of picking at her (uncombed hair). She finally cuts me off mid-sentence and says, "Do you think I should wash my hair sometimes?"
I have never been so glad in my life to be bumped.

Needless to say, she was not invited back. I don't think she pledged anywhere.

Sounds like a set-up.

I thought so, too, but a couple of my friends from other sororities mentioned her for the exact same reason. She was just really weird.

That HAD to be intentional...hopefully lol.

My first recruitment as a Sister had so many interesting issues.

I had to jump out of the way to avoid while still catching a young woman who projectile vomited all over the entrance of our party on the first night of recruitment. I felt bad for the poor girl and carried her right over to the Rho Gamma to take her to the bathroom across the hall. It completely ruined the party because a group of sisters and advisors rushed over to start cleaning up.

We are the perennial chapter who struggles in formal recruitment, so after it happened, me and one of my chapter sisters were like, "Really? We induce vomiting?" Definitely put a damper on recruitment, lol. We actually did decent that year - just one short of quota.

Now, the girl who talked about how much she loved chicken wings is a story for another day...

The woman never came back to second rounds...we'll always wonder!

Hahahahaha!!!!!
