Always a PNM, never a sister.

I've never heard of ONE letter from ONE woman in ONE sorority scuttling a person's sorority chances for the whole campus, unless it has a police report or videotape attached to it.

I mean, if we met a girl coming through rush and heard through the grapevine "Debby DZ is going to drop out of DZ if this girl gets a bid" our response would be "Who effing cares?" For that matter, depending on how well liked or not Debby was, some groups would pledge the rushee just to get Debby's goat.

There are five other sororities, including a legacy which you apparently tossed to the side. You unwisely set your sights on one and refused to keep an open mind. THIS is why you didn't receive a bid. THIS is why you aren't Greek. I'm sorry your roommate was such a bitch, but there's also the possibility that this was the only way to make you see that even though YOU thought DZ was right for you, it really WASN'T.

Sorry, I have heard (and know) two women who went out of their way to make sure someone didn't get a bid. They were quite proud of their accomplishment(s).

No, the venom was not to one girl. Nor were the two women friends (they didn't know each other). Nor was it for the same house and/or the same year. When there is a chance for ugly behavior it will happen.

So, what did they do? Did they do this all on their own or enlist members of their sororities? Did they create fake documentation? Was this at a small or large Greek system? Were all the chapters constantly up in each others' business? How big were the chapters? Was the Greek life office involved? Was anyone reprimanded by the school?

Sorry but "oh yeah this is true because I heard it happen" falls flat if you don't have the particulars to back it up.
