Rudest PNM You Had to Deal With

[Shellfish]

When I was an advisor, my girls told me about a PNM who took a bite from a cookie (we served food at every party back in the day) and said, "Ew! This has animal fat in it!" Then she threw the partially eaten cookie back on the tray.

It was routine for the chapter president to say a few words to everyone at the end of a party, and I remember that some PNMs would continue to chat among themselves while she was speaking.

The rudeness that still bugs me, though, was from some other advisors. We were still doing bid matching by hand, so one night I went to the Greek office promptly after the pref party, still in my Laura Ashley dress and pearls. We were waiting around for all the advisors and bid lists, so I tried to break the ice with some new advisors from one sorority. They were wearing embellished sweatsuits, which, er, weren't my thing, but I did say, "You look like you'll be comfortable for the long night ahead," to which one of them snapped, "That's because we dressed properly." Then they went back to talking to each other. Pretty nice, especially considering that for years before that, that sorority never had anyone present for bid matching, so an extra alum or national visitor from KD had occasionally handled their list.
