I guess wearing the sorority flower before she was a member WASN'T the biggest blunder she could make. Live and learn.

Maybe all the chapter members will be too hungover to bother voting on her membership application.

Are people really surprised that college kids were drunk at their formal?

No, people are surprised that the OP completely ignored everyone's advice and can't STFU, and has her city in her post, therefore probably making it really obvious who she is.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure I know what campus she's talking about.

The "Oh my" has nothing to do with fact that the women were intoxicated.

It has to do with the fact that she (as a woman seeking membership in that sorority) would post that. Like a "why does that matter" kind of thing.

I think I'm still shocked they even had her meet them at a formal!?! Whoever thought that up was not thinking clearly.

One can only hope.

It really isn't hard at all to figure out what campus she is at.

For reals. A caveman could probably figure it out. I wonder which sorority?

Ooh, broadcast it on SL for us non-Ohioans, will you?

Uh, no. But one would think a prospective alumnae initiate (or an alumna for that matter) would be discreet enough not to air that kind of dirty laundry on the intargoogles. Especially since it's pretty easy to figure out who she's talking about given the previous indiscretions.

And considering how few of the sororities on that campus do AI at all, it isn't hard to narrow it down to the chapter. Especially when she's blabbed the date of their formal, initiation date and alumnae meeting and voting day. Pretty embarrassing. She can only hope that women from this AC or chapter aren't here reading this.

I'm a little scared. She said her "first" sorority formal.... as in "the first of many"... WTH? I've been an alum for a few years now, and not once have I ever gone to a collegiate chapter's formal.

Even if I was allowed, I wouldn't even want to go - I'm way too old for that scene!

And in my sorority/chapter, no alums were even allowed at formal or other events unless they were advisors (risk mgmt). And I think there was one... maaaaybe two advisors that went to formal but that was about it.

This is kind of what I was getting at with my first post on this topic. I think that it is creepy when alumnae members try to re-live their college experiences which was my impression of the initial post considering she spoke of her dress, date and corsage at her "first sorority formal." I wonder if the OP remembers what it was like to be 20 years old and in college. I know that it wasn't always a prim and proper experience for me.

I attended formals as an advisor - it was not something I looked at as a social event (although I did enjoy being with the actives) but as part of my "job".
