Cutting or pledging a group for dumb reasons

[FSUZeta]

At another house my hostess was a very sporty girl whose name was Billie Jean, so I made a bad joke that she must enjoy tennis (Billie Jean King had defeated Bobby Riggs a few years before). I look back now and shudder at my opening statement, but it actually was the right thing to say to her. She was majoring in PE, had played on several sports teams in HS, and played on all her sorority's intramural teams. Now I love sports, but am not a fanatic and this girl was. She already had me on the flag football team and it was the ice water round! I realize now that she was just trying to make me feel at home and was trying to show me how I might fit in there, but she took it a little far, so I did not accept the invitation to the next round.

I did not accept a 2nd round invitation to my cousin's sorority(she had graduated the year before) because the room echoed. All the PNMs were escorted into a tiled floor,solarium type room that was empty. Each PNM talked exclusively to her hostess-I don't remember any rotation. It was so LOUD! The acoustics were terrible and I couldn't hear myself, much less my hostess, talking.

Several hometown girls were members of one sorority and they made it a point to make sure I met lots of sisters and that I had a good time. I believe it was the third round when I was introduced to a sister who was so rude. I don't know if she was just having a bad day, or if she didn't like my friend, but after talking to her I made up my mind that I would not accept another invitation from them. At the time I didn't feel bad, but I do now. My friends had gone out of their way to make me feel welcome and I chose to be pig headed and not overlook the 1 member who was not nice. I wish that I had been mature enough to not make a snap decision based on one person.

I dropped another sorority because I thought their skit and their outfits were weird!

Looking back, I wish I hadn't cut so many based on snap decisions/immaturity. It's probably a good thing that PNMs can't cut groups anymore because they now get more time to see what each group is really like.
