UIUC Rush Story

[texas*princess]

In all fairness, I think we really did her a favor by telling her how rude the original comments were. Had she not deleted her comments (except for maybe the ones that were already quoted) the comments could have ruined her recuitment.

Based on the way she was describing everything, she probably could have gone on for each round about how their nail polish didn't match or how ill-fitting their clothes were.

She didn't seem to care at first, but I think it's because pnm's don't realize how many members from so many schools visit these boards.

Maybe next time we should just keep our mouths shut and watch the pnm's recruitment get ruined... there's entertainment for those who were all angry that the comments were deleted because of the entertainment value.

Is that high or low for the campus?

I don't know if that includes the junior quota, but last year quota was 57, so 48 is low.

thanks for all the PM's wishing me luck/hoping my recruitment went well, but i sort of learned that i should be a little more discreet- so how could i possibly give the name of the sorority i'm in (or not in? you never know )? the sorority as well as i will only be attacked by those who were mad about my initial posts, and why would i let that happen?

by the way, i'm guessing that those who were sooo offended by my observations (which were never meant to hurt anyone's feelings as i wasn't planning to reveal who was who) are either:
1.) old as hell (bored and attempting to relive their glory days through the internet) and have no room to be shallow anymore
2.) in one of the not-so-hot and not-so-popular chapters, like, babybetawhatsherface and trying to spread the notion that all chapters are equally attractive (seriously???). why would a pretty girl get mad that i called her pretty?

oh, and the toenails previously mentioned were not merely chipped but looked like they'd been painted a dark color 3 months ago (less than 1/2 the nail had polish!?). to me, this just shows a lack of effort and personal hygiene. anyone can paint her toenails, or at least REMOVE the frickin polish if it looks like that. or don't wear sandals?

i didn't say that some of those chapters wouldn't make good friends or sisters or whatever, just tried to narrow it down easily at the beginning by who had the same sort of style as i do (i don't mean for that to sound conceited- if i hated wearing makeup and thought pedicures were annoying, my preferences would be completely different because i would initially pref. whichever chapter looked most like me).

anyway, by first pref party, everyone was cute and i no longer based my preffing on appearances, since i got to know everyone a little better. i wasn't out to find the best looking house, since, imo, it is hands down "raspberry sorbet" (and that wasn't my top pick). i don't know, would anyone be able to figure out who i am if i said which houses i went back to (in code, perhaps)? there aren't THAT many junior transfers around lol

wow.

Will someone please post the other posts leading up to this one so I can refresh my memories about raspberry sorbet?

[littlemissvixen]

i don't remember what i said about them exactly... i think that they're very pretty (maybe i said hot?) and that people seem to like spreading rumors about them, but i think it's just out of jealousy

(they all seemed really nice and really un-whatever rumors were being said)

[littlemissvixen]

oh, i also said that they didn't seem to take rush crazily seriously, because the girl i was talking to warned me before the song that rush could be pretty creepy and that the song was a little cheesy. it was really pretty though- they didn't yell/sing, just sang/sang. anyway, they were in my top 10.

Raspberry Sorbet was in the PNM's second group, which was not quoted by another GCer. If it was posted and deleted, most of us will not be able to find it unless we have a screen scraping program. It's on my work laptop, but I don't know if I had the program running at the time.

Come on, LMV, at least humor us with your initial description since you said my house was beautiful on the outside but smelled on the inside

it DID smell!!! maybe too many stinky pnm's coming through lol, i'm not sure. i don't have my initial descriptions saved anywhere, unless GC saves it somehow? otherwise, i think i'm clear to repost (so whoever had the stuff in a subscription or screenshot, go ahead) as long as i don't give results by name from here out.

boo now i'm so curious and confused! i actually tried looking up angels and arrows on google and got some weird ceramic pattern thing and a bunch of other random links.

[AngieWashU]

Angels and arrows are symbols of Pi Beta Phi, so I think that poster was hopeful that you didn't get a bid from her sorority(I assume).
