What's the deal with that? I thought girls were supposed to be more mature than guys

If they have Paris Hilton for a role model, they're not. (And trust me, I've seen plenty of those types in my teaching career.)

Like I said, problem solved with 3" letters.

Sadly, I've heard this one before. I once overheard a PNM saying this to another one, and (I cannot believe I'm admitting to this!) said, "Honestly, you won't grow a third boob if your sorority has three letters!"

I was so sure I was going to get a rush infraction on that one!

High Five on this one!!!

I hate to shave, so I don't in the winter AT ALL

And when shorts etc are what is called for ...so at the HEAT of summer, I do have my legs waxed.

I knew I could never be a member of one sorority because of one of the girls in my American History class. She was absolutely GORGEOUS, but she was the dingiest person I'd ever met. She asked our professor "Does Mr. Ed really know how to talk (the TV horse) and if he doesn't, then how do they get his lips to move like that?" She was SERIOUS.

She also turned in a paper about the Navel History of the US. Not Naval, Navel...

That was almost as bad as the football player who thought that the South won the Civil War...

LOL, I would have never have believed someone would do something that silly

< That was almost as bad as the football player who thought that the South won the Civil War...>

I wasn't even born in the US and I know that isn't right

This is slightly different than cutting or pledging, but I've had sisters during rush who have been CONVINCED that a PNM is going to accept a bid from us simply from hearing the girl say she loves purple and gold! (The sister is usually disappointed...if thats all the PNM can come up with, she's probably not too into us). But a rush crush is the same as a regular crush I guess, and its easy to read into everything!

Well, I definitely didn't pledge Sigma Kappa for its colors. I think lavender and maroon are hideous together. People during recruitment definitely talk about our house and how we're the Sigma Kattle (about ten years ago I guess we had some really heavy girls). Some of our members are eager to move away from that stereotype. I think we should all embrace it and get some of those sweatpants with MOO across the butt.

When I was going through recruitment, the girl behind me alphabetically was painfully a stereotypical sorority girl. I'm talking the whole nine-yards--big hair, bleached to the max, caked on makeup to point of not being able to see her real face, worrying constantly about her nails, critiquing everyone around her, just a nasty fake person. On the third or fourth day of recruitment when I was really starting to fall in love with Sigma Kappa, I overheard her talking disparagingly about Sigma Kappa and how much she hates it and hates going back, blahity-blah-blah-blah. My thought, "That sounds like confirmation that Sigma Kappa is the place for me." And here I am three years later. Don't know where that girl ended up and it's probably better that way.

Also, ADPi has a really bad rep at our school. They have really low numbers and are fighting to stay open. I have a lot of friends in that house. They are super nice girls and I point every one that I meet in campus who's interested in pledging off-cycle their direction, but if you're an ADPi alum, the WSU chapter could use some help. How about stepping up to bat for them?!

I might have posted this somewhere already, but there was a girl going through recruitment with me last fall who based who she liked best in order of how she liked the houses decorations/sofas/wall colors etc.

My sister actually dropped Sigma Kappa because they did a Willy Wonka skit during rush and some girl did such a fantastic Veruca Salt impersonation that it freaked my sister out. She could only think about Veruca Salt girl when she thought about Sigma Kappa! Now that's a weird reason to cut a group.

That's pretty funny. Darn them and their good acting!

We don't want people to drop SK because of it.

My sister never was a big Willy Wonka fan, but I LOVE the original Gene Wilder extravaganza. I would go to town in that candy land with the chocolate river!!! I don't remember them doing a Willy Wonka skit when I went through.

P.S. I just remembered...they did it for open house. You got a golden ticket to tour Sigma Kappa. They changed their party after that year so I never got to see it!
