Veruca was the spoiled one, if I remember correctly. In which case oh wow...that could be a really obnoxious part.

[Benzgirl]

That is right. The girl who was purple had the name of Violet Beauregard. The oompa loompas squeezed the grape juice out of her.

I do remember Veruca Salt, and she was a rich, spoiled brat. She wanted her "oompa loompa NOW".

Hahahaha...had I been in that chapter, I probably would have been a shoe-in for that part. Every once in a while I get told that I slightly resemble Veruca Salt - and, at that age, I *did*. Even as recently as a few months ago, a colleague googled a picture of her and taped it to my inbox outside my cubicle.

Fear of the perfectly groomed eyebrow isn't a good reason?

It's true, our new member period is actually cosmetology school so we have perfectly arched and groomed brows.

Well, I COB'd but I did try formal recruitment and came up with some of the stupidest reasons for why I didn't care for one group or loved another. I had fun remembering how incredibly stupid my reasoning was back then.

Delta Zeta - I absolutely LOVED them because they had the prettiest house at Long Beach, their jewel is the diamond and I thought I deserved to wear diamonds b/c IMO (back then), diamonds were teh ONLY jewelry worth wearing, and they have the Roman Lamp as an emblem. To make it worse, the DZ's wore these adorable shirts fashioned with cute sparkly "diamonds" to make one big diamond and I had to have one of those shirts!

Alpha Phi - I didn't care for them because their house was yellow and not as big as the DZ house and on Day 1, they wore these yellow shirts. I hate yellow. I was incredibly stupid as well!

Delta Delta Delta - I loved their colors, the trident, and I loved the recruitment shirts they wore.

Sigma Kappa - Very edgy and different. Their house was the smallest in size but I do look good in lavender and maroon. For some stupid reason, I used to think that sorority girls ALWAYS wore their sorority colors in their outfits.

Gamma Phi Beta - Some girls I knew (who were the IT girls) swore up and down that this was THE sorority to be in so I believed them.

Delta Gamma - I knew right away I could never be a DG b/c they seemed to have many of their activities revolve around water and I hated the way I looked in a bathing suit so I knew I could never be one.

Alpha Omicron Pi - Big house and they had a red rose. How could I not want to live in a big house and have red roses around me everyday? Duh!

GeekyPenguin - no giving away ritual! Jeez . . . fear Gamma Phi and our perfect grooming!
And BetteDavisEyes - your friends were right, so what's your point??

I knew it! I had heard rumors about this being ritual but now it's somewhat confirmed!

Hahahaha....I also went to Long Beach.

I didn't even bother with Alpha Phi during COB because there were too many PNMs in front of the table and I literally couldn't get in to see.

I originally passed on Gamma Phi because I too got the impression they were they "it" girls and that I'd never fit in.

I cut Delta Gamma because I didn't care for the sailor girl hats and nautical theme.

I remember wanting to cut AXiD because the chapter was too small at the time (I thought bigger was better) but then I thought I didn't like the colors of Chi-O so I would have cut them also. I really liked A-Phi's colors but I liked ZTA's philanthropy better (finally, a smart moment) and ended up a ZTA. Shall I post my recruitment story on that thread...?

O.K. What year did you rush because they had the same theme the year I went through, the year my Big went through, and the year my lil went through.

Did you Pref the Unibrow?

[SigKapAngel767]

Anyone think that some sororities at their school had mandatory tanning hours? I'm so pale!
