Ok, it's now set of 6 and I was invited to five houses.
Giants, Packers, Ravens, Jets, Falcons.
All the Jewish houses plus one and I'm not jewish!
I was very disapointed but resigned that I was going to go Giants.
In fact, at their party a girl said to me, "oh you're the legacy!" I thought that was great. And I loved their skit. It was from the 50s era and the "bad girls" were dressed like bad Sandy in grease, and the "good girls" were Giants. It was darling.
I thought ok this could be fun. And my aunt and I would have something in common.
The other parties I just remember being completely out of place. My last name is pretty ethnic and it's not too hard to realize I'm not jewish.
So I went to the parties and laughing how in the very beginning I cut the Giants and now I was going to be one!

Wondering if there will be some twist in the story. Otherwise, GO GIANTS!

Are the Jewish houses on your campus still predominantly Jewish or have they since become more mainstream? Perhaps you were rushing during a period of change on your campus.

There is indeed a twist -- good guess.
I walk up to pick up my bids, there are tons of girls laughing/crying, rho chis behind the desk etc.
It turns out I received NO invites.
My rho chi didn't have the decency to call me so I wouldn't have to be humiliated infront of people I don't know.
She never called me.
In fact, thinking back, I think that is completey unforgiveable.
I was so embarrassed! I was pissed that the embarrassement could have been avoided.
It's not like she didn't have my correct phone number. She called me when she needed to swap out the two houses for me early in the process.
Stupid bitch. She had a name that was two names and it was ridiculous. It wasn't a name like AnneMarie. It was a name like JulieMable. Like, not just Julie, not just Mable. Effing pick one!
So, I brushed it off and never really thought what went wrong.
Looking back, what I heard was that the rush process (remember this was before it was all computerized) went haywire.
I'm by no means saying I wasn't deservingly cut across the board. If I'm a loser I'm a loser. But I didn't think I was. If I was cut for grades, I think I was cut early in the process.
I did think that perhaps my loser boyfriend had something to do with it. He was lurking around during all the rounds in disguise of waiting to give me a ride home but who knows.
Maybe they knew I wasn't affluent?
Maybe I really did lack some serious social skills.
I had a decent reputation in high school. I was a cheerleader afterall. I got into the college I was attending. I don't really know.
What I think the most about though is what would have happened if I had rushed as a freshman. Would I have imploded even more so? Or are freshman who are clueless more acceptable that sophmores who are clueless?
So, I went to the Saints open house and thought about becoming a founding sister of that chapter...

Kansas City, that is a good question. I think the main Jewish houses are still mainly Jewish. Though I think all chapters have Jewish women in them.
Though I'm not really sure. I'm not involved in my alumnae group. Which gives the ending of my story away. I became a founding sister of the New Orleans Saints!

Shall I continue with my experience as a Saints and then reveal the code or do you want to know the school/code first?
I'm curious to know how easy it is for people to crack what school/chapter I'm from.

If you're familiar with the campus....VERY EASY.
Congratulations on becoming a founding sister!

I'm from a smaller mid-western school and not very good with super sleuthing the large schools on either coast. Even if you tell me the names of the houses, I doubt that I would figure out the school nor have the time to do the research. I'm just more curious and nosy I guess. Please do whatever you feel most comfortable with. Cool story though and I would like to hear about your experience with the Saints.

I was secretly hoping for the Saints...just cause I love the city of New Orleans (not nearly my fave football team though)!
Please reveal the code!!!
