Embarassing Rush Stories

Now that I'm graduated I feel like I can share!

During recruitment one year, a PNM apparently asked an active during our third round parties what color shorts to wear to match her Bid Day t-shirt from us. I don't know if she ended up joining us or not but I'm hoping the answer is no.

We also had a PNM display her "talent" as she called it up picking things up with her feet by taking off her flip-flop, dropping her napkin from the drink cups we'd passed out on the floor and then picking it up with her toes. It was bold, I'll give her that.

I mostly just feel bad for these girls because they quickly became the stories of our chapter. I hope they found other homes!

As a ballet dancer, I would just chalk it up to her doing strength exercises for her feet haha (I forgot that not everyone spends 10-15 minutes a day on foot strength...) I enjoy the hutzpah of the first PNM, but I would have just said "None"

Not an embarrassing story but just a cute one. During our formal recruitment in 1983 there were three of us with younger sisters rushing that year. Two of them looked very similar to their older sisters, but my sister and I do not resemble each other at all.
Party has started and my sister is happily chatting with a group of actives. Another active joins the conversation and asks "Where did you go to high school?" My sister replies "I went to Mater Dei." Active answers with "Oh we have two members who also went there. Do you know Sue _______ and (me)?" My sister smiles and says "Why yes I do know them." Active happens to see my sister's name tag at that moment and bursts out laughing when she realizes who she's been chatting with.
All three sisters pledged our chapter.

The first story has always been my favorite!
