ok..is it just me or do the same people always have a example of "someone esle" wearing nalia or "Future" this or that.....or some kind of "I'm in the loop" story

a hint to the wise should suffice sooo...STOP TRYING SO HARD......It personally iritates the mess out of me when people do this ...its comes off as a cross between being a kissass and a know it all.....I'm impressed by the prospective who has mad community service hours, has a strong knowledge of of my organizations history, and can bring some valuable assets to Delta...not the one who HAS to answer EVERY question at a program or who makes a detour got to be in my path on the yard to speak.....Ladies believe me, your actions when you are not around us speaks volumes, everything gets back..............(maybe I'm just in a bad mood

)

At a rush I attended, a girl sitting in the front row asked if she didn't make line, could she get her money returned. When expectations of ceremonial dress was explained, the same girl whispered to those around her if the pearls had to be real. Then she kept asking questions that had already been covered. You could actually feel the eyeball rolling around the room. I was embarrassed for her.

Why was that addressed during a rush? That doesn't seem like "basic info" to me.

At an Interest Tea this one girl stood up and asked--What did yall have to do?--I mean did ya'll have to do crazy stuff? when ya'll pledged..I heard ....

Then this woman walked in she was at least 45..in a pink and green sweat suit (to Formal Rush).. hair all over her head etc,
she proceeded to be loud and crazy the entire time

Another year a girl came with pink nail polish with ivy leaves airbrushed across then--and then proceeded to tell us why she did not like the AKA's at one of our sister campuses in the same city!!!

One lady wanted to sell Mary Kay and told us about her intentions to be more active in the grad chapter (she was also in her 40's)

and my all time favorite.... AKA? Also Known As What?

What would possess these women from coming to a rush with the organizations colors on? If they didn't wear the colors to other events, why now...to a rush...would they wear them. Do they think this shows some type of loyalty?

I don't understand....
I actually have an embarrassing story but it is not all that like the other stories:
It was at an XYZ Organization informational and everyone was asked why did they attend or what do they like about the org. This one young lady said she liked the org because she liked their colors.

Oh well....

I think that many people don't know the protocol when it comes to sorority/fraternity functions and are simply ignorant to those things that we Greeks take for granted that they should know. Unless there is someone grooming an interest to be "the model interest" then there will be women/men who make those mistakes... hey a girl wore red to my rush... (Bad example she didn't get in...) But talking to this girl at the rush, she didn't know any better. I know for a fact if you ask a New Yorker what a sorority was they would think animal house, school daze or hazing. Let’s realize people that GDI's may not know what they are doing. On Black college campuses for me the behavior is less excusable because of the culture is so engrained. What about a majority white school or a school without a big Greek presence?

At my rush and the line after mine, the same poor girl came to rush and froze on the spot. I mean at my rush she was called up and just stood there in a trance in front of EVERYBODY and I mean there was dead silence , I don't mean like ten seconds I mean like two-three minutes. Then two years later she did the excact same thing at another rush. People felt more sorry for her than appalled. She had to get herself together in the hallway the second time. Poor thing.
