Okay, I have two:

In college I had a long-distance relationship, and if my boyfriend wasn't able to come to any of the major functions, I'd usually just go with my friends (and have more fun if you ask me), rather than getting set up with some random guy for the sake of having a date. Well... one year a sister of mine wanted to set me up with this "nice" guy in one of her classes named Wolfgang (funny enough as it is) and I reluctantly agreed. Mind you, he knew I had a boyfriend and I thought everything was cool... Dinner was fine, he bought me a corsage which was kind of funny b/c it's not really a formal thing - more a high school prom thing. Regardless he proceeded to get more and more drunk. I wanted him to have fun, so I didn't complain, but then it just started to get sloppy. He could barely stand, and was literally drooling by the end of the night. I hadn't danced with him all evening, so he insisted on one dance, and I felt I had to oblige. Well, it was to that song "Lady in Red", and as we're dancing he starts singing at the top of the lungs the chorus, but it was NOT a joke - dead serious and severely off-key. It was so embarrassing - everyone was staring at us and moving away as if we had some sort of disease. I immediately exited the dance floor after the song, and decided it was time to go. In the elevator I hear some clinking noise and ask him what it was. With this huge grin he opens his tux and it's STUFFED full of empty cocktail glasses from the party. He thought it was hilarious, and all I could think was what a complete dork he was and that I couldn't wait to get home... never spoke to the guy again...

Next story: my boyfriend was actually able to come out and attend our Fall Casual one semester. Normally, my boyfriend doesn't drink very much, but this time he decided to booze it up a bit - something he's not used to. At our Casual, he's SLOSHED. I mean, shirt untucked, stains from falling down, the works. I'm already pretty embarrassed, but am dealing, and then I hear screams from the bathroom - he accidentally tried to use the girl's instead of the guys, and my best friend's boyfriend is dragging him out. Again, embarrassed but attempting to deal. THEN my best friend's boyfriend, who is also sloshed, starts SWING dancing with my boyfriend as a joke, and flips him out and my boyfriend nails, I mean NAILS a pole. I'm surprised he didn't have a concussion. Luckily at this point the buses were ready to leave, so I quickly round up the mess I called a boyfriend and tried to get him out. NOW, he's overly apologetic because of his state, and starts CRYING. I'm outside trying to talk to him, and he turns around because he has to vomit, and just spews. So, now I have a drunk, crying, vomiting boyfriend at my party. Needless to say, we got home and had a serious long talk the next day. Point of the story is there's a reason why he doesn't drink...

Ok, I don't think my 2nd year in the sorority was a good year for greek events that required dates:

October 1997: POP (Pride of Panhellenic - All-Sorority Semi-formal)

I arrange a limo with some of my sisters and so shelled out some extra money so that my date and I could enjoy a limo ride. The venue was right across from a sports bar so my date decided to go in their 1st - we were almost late for the photos... then I proceeded to buy him and drinks after which point he decided to go for a walk around downtown Vancouver and disapeared for 3 hours - he said he went to find a bank machine - hello it doesn't take 3 hours to find a bank machine in d/t vancouver - then if that wasn't bad enough, on the limo ride home my date and another guy in the limo decided to remove all their clothing and my date rolls down the window and moons all the passerbys...

Dec 1997: Christmas Dinner

Every year my sorority holds a christmas dinner during the last week of classes - I asked a good friend of mine (who at the time was a Sigma Chi pledge) to go with me, he said ok but his magister wouldn't let him go, not even for 1/2 an hour... I was totally ticked with this guy for not even letting my friend go for a measley 30 minutes and I gave him a piece of my mind

- that was 4 years ago: that magister has been my boyfriend for the past 31/2 years - and I still bug him about that whole situation

February 1998: DPhiE Formal - the mother of all horrible greek date experiences.

I was all set to go to my 2nd formal; had the dress, the limo, etc. Well 3 days before formal my date backs out - he has a rugby game on the Island and wouldn't make it back in time - I'm sure he had more than 3 days notice about this game. So I have 3 days and I am trying desparately to find a date - but 3 days isn't much notice and doesn't help that there are usually 2 sorority formals going on on the same day. All my GDI friends have made plans for the weekend. It's friday night I'm desparate - I ask this one guy - he can't make it - ok; my friend hooks my up with this guy I know, so I have a date phew. 5:50pm sat, I am suppossed to pick up my date in 10 mins can't get a hold of him, finally get a hold of someone at his fraternity - so and so has had something come up - he's terribly sorry - we have suited up another guy for you: yes those were the exact words we have suited up another guy for you. Now admidst all this rejection I have just been laid off from work this week as well, so I'm completely over the edge now. I get to formal trying to be a good date, but I'm completely pissed off - then who shows up, but one of the guys I had asked the night before - I spent half my formal locked in a bathroom stall - none of my sisters knew what was happening until they realized I was hiding and depressed - which is totally uncharacteristic for me - I guess the silver lining to all this is that they pulled me through it. And here's the funny bit the guy who said he couldn't go with me on the friday and showed up at my formal - I now work with him; boy was he ever uncomfortable.

This story starts out horribly.........but has a happy ending! (oh and it's kinda long)

So for Formal this year, my then boyfriend, an SAE from Florida (as well as my high school sweetheart) was supposed to fly out to come with me to formal. Anywho, sorority organization being what it is, the formal got rescheduled for a later date and my bf couldn't come out. He got really mad at me (like it was my fault) and said that this was the last straw, yada yada yada. So we broke up.

My friend Milton (Delta Chi) came to the rescue and said that he would love to go with me. I was excited, despite having broke up with my bf, because I knew that Milton and I would have a good time. Three days before formal, Milton pulls me aside at a concert and tells me that he can't go because he was running for fraternity president, and it wouldn't look good if he missed part of initiation weekend.

So it is now three days before formal and I am dateless. So I head over to my campus SAE house to hang out with some of my friends. I tell my friend Scott, who was just elected to Sigma Kappa's Pearl Court, my situation (he is going with my best friend Laura), and he brings his little bro Chris over and tells him that he's going with me to formal. Works for me, I have a date, he's cute and fun. Or so I thought.

The morning of formal. Laura gets told by our exec. vice pres. and advisors that she can't go to formal because she didn't make grades. She comes over and starts bawling. While I am trying to comfort her, Chris calls and says that he has a pledge thing that he can't get out of and can't go with me.

So Laura calls Scott and tells him that he is now going with me. Fine. At this point I don't even want to go to formal. But, Laura convinces me to go, and when Scott picks me up to pre-party, he shows up with 8 different ties, because he wants to match my dress. That got me out of my bad mood.

When we show up to formal, there is a bouquet of pink roses sitting at my table. Turns out that Scott had a thing for me for a long time, but didn't do anything about it because I had a boyfriend.

Needless to say, Scott is now my boyfriend, and what started out as my worst formal ever turned into my best one.

Now THAT is a good story. So glad to hear that things worked out for you!

Our dated party this past semester was definitly interesting. My original date cancelled the day before, but he had a legitimate excuse, so I wasn't too upset. I decided to invite one of my friends who had told me that he really wanted to go. Well, he was wasted before we even got to the place, he started a fight with every guy there from a certain other fraternity, and things got even better when we got back. First he tried to pass out on the couch in our chapter room. When I finally go him up, he walked outside, stared at the bushes for a few minutes, then decided to pass out there. It took myself and three of his brothers to get him up. Then he proceeded to puke on my shoes. What a classy guy.

LexiKD · #23 02-09-2002, 04:29 PM

I will not tell the whole story, but here are the high points:

KD Grab-a-date
He showed up with 2 of his brothers that were also dates BUT THEY WERE ALL DRESSED IN THE SAME THING: Kakis, A&F shirt, Polo Shirt over(unbuttoned), and A & F hat. LIKE THAT WASN"T BAD ENOUGH!

They proceded to sit at the bar, next to the keg, keeping their cups to how just how much they can drink.

My date had is hand up one of my so called sister's skirts half the night, only taking it out when the party pic guy would come around, then he would hop over to me and smile for the camera.

Skipping to the end: I finally lost him; then got a phone call from the sister who was keeping my date's hands warm. She was deserted with him at a party and needed a ride.

I got the DD from another fraternity to drive me there and found my date; passed out, wet, with no shirt. Apparently he hit his head on the step as he finished a keg stand and no one helped him.

So, the moral of the story; no matter how cute, some men are really 12 year old boys no matter how much potental they start off with.

Thursday at the mixer when I saw one of the guys I pledged with dancing with the girl I like.

Last year, I was president of my fraternity and had just broken up with my girlfriend about a month before our Founder's Day dance. I wasn't seeing anyone at the time, so a friend set me up on a blind date for the Founder's Day dance. That poor girl. I totally flubbed my speech and got yelled at all night by my alumni so I couldn't really spend too much time with her. And to make matters worse, my ex-girlfriend was there. My ex followed my date into the bathroom and yelled at her saying things like she was out of line and I was her man and I'd be going home with her that night. Well, when I found out about it, I confronted my ex and that just made her madder, and then she tracked down my date and tried to fight her! By the end of the night, things had calmed down a little bit and my date and I had finally gotten a chance to talk to each other a little bit. But on the bus ride home, we're sitting there talking, and my ex is sitting behind us, twirling her fingers through my date's hair the whole trip home! My date was too freaked out to know what to do, so she ignored it and just kept up the conversation the whole trip home. I didn't find out about that for a couple of days. Needless to say, I wasn't happy when I found out. I was so embaressed for my date, we never talked again.

Wow! I forgot about this one. For Halloween we do a grab-a-date. It kinda sux cuz we do it as our Monday nite meeting, which means all the fraternities have their meetings too. So I invite this guy that I liked who was an ex-pledge of the bigger fraternity, so he knows everyone. He ends up meeting one of my sisters, and they secretly start dating. She is a Phi (new member), so I can't yell at her, or even act like I'm mad. I tell Rich that I don't wanna bring him anymore. I'm tryin to find another date, still on that Monday. I can't find anyone, so I call Rich an hour before, and tell him I wana bring him still. My sister that he was dating brought another guy that one of our girls was starting to date, so everything kinda worked out ok. They still talk tho and it pisses me off cuz she ruined my friendship with him!

This one didn't happen to me, but it involved my pledge sister and my roommate.

For our dated partys second semester we were going to a nice little establishment in Georgetown. It wasn't themed so we were all wearing cute black dresses. My boyfriend cancelled the night before so I was set up with a hottie from the house we did greek week with (sidebar: he went to formal with another sister of mine. Oh did I mention he went home with her that night too?).

My sister "Ann" ended up taking my roommate "Bob". Well, Bob was kinda coming out of the closet at the time. He didn't want us (other roomie and I) to tell anyone and since he was friends with Ann, decided to go and have a good time. Some of his brothers would be there too. Well, Ann decides that she wants to go home with Bob and hook up with him. Imagine us trying to stop this from happening without telling her why!

Needless to say, words were said and some of his brothers heard. Not a good night for Ann or Bob.

My first formal was last year, and I was desiganted the 'sober monitor.' Not a big deal to me, i wasn't old enough anyways, so i decide to ask my boyfriend (who else?) and he is all, i hate greeks but ok. So the night of formal he is all ok fine you are dragging me to this thing i won't have a good time even if you try. I ended up buying his drinks, him being 21 just a few months before. So he is all getting drunk and crabby, and decides to get into an argument over why i am a greek and how they are lame, and I am just all over embarrassed from him not even attempting to talk to anyone or have a good time. I didn't even have a good time because he kept being so crabby.
At least my parents had fun

So moral of my story, i won't bring him this year, and i am going to ask a friend instead.

The ATO's had their Christmas dance at a hall with ... get this... porta potties. Yes, honest truth.

My dates last name was Wurst and it was the worst night ever.

We had just begun dating and obviously the guy never drank before because within the first hour- he was totally drunk, dancing like a jackass and then he pins me.... yes pins me. I'm tipsy so I go along with it- big mistake - because then all his brothers are having a fit that he pins me on our 2nd date. (Nothing against me but it showed little value for your pin to give it away so easily... I think).

Then the next a.m.... going to his suite and giving the pin back to him and breaking up with him- just a horrible 24 hours!

I have not had the worst. I date a Sigma and I am a Zeta. It can get hard at times but I guess the thing to do is to realize that buisness is buisness and never to mix the two. That is what we do in our relationship. Sometimes I think that there is too much emphasis being put on being Greek. YOU WERE NOT BORN GREEK. so the issue about dating a greek is obsolete. It is about the person. If you do not get along with the person, it would not matter if they were a Sigma, Zeta, Q or a Delta... that is just how I feel
