Well, in a previous thread I posted about the PNM who kept talking to herself throughout FR. Apparently, she is in a class with my roommate. My roomie did not realize this b/c it's a large class in a lecture hall. She only found out b/c she had the sensation of being stared at & realized that Psycho Suzie was sitting near her & couldn't keep her eyes off her letters. Everytime my roomie has that class, this gal sits near her & stares. She text messages me a lot during this time b/c the girl is starting to freak her out.

She threw a chair and yelled at her PX because she knew that she was a ZTA (which she wasn't) and blamed the PX from telling her sisters not to invite her back. No matter what any of the PXs did she would not calm down and security ended up coming to "remove" her from the student center. She then dropped out of recruitment.

A few weeks later, I was working in the bookstore, and this same PNM came in and bought all ZTA stuff (bumper stickers, I "heart" pins, cups, etc.) and when she got up to the register I was like "Oh, did ZTA snap bid you?" and she looked at me glaringly and was like "No, I'm just gonna wear it so people think I am a ZTA and it will piss them off!"

I ended up telling one of my friends that was a ZTA about this next day in class. Apparently, the Greek Advisor had to meet with the PNM.

I heard she had dropped out of Elon the following fall.
Maggie, that's ironic that you told that story, because my suitmate freshmen year did almost the exact same thing. She didn't get a bid from the GLO she wanted (I don't remember what group), and she dropped out of school before spring term began.

And btw, they don't sell Greek stuff at the bookstore anymore

This is so weird because I know a girl who did sort of the same thing! She went to a school nearby that some of my friends attended, and she lived on their hall. Well freshmen year they all went through recruitment together and this girl (I will call her Sarah) fell in love with XYZ, which was a good sorority on campus. They weren't considered any bad stereotypes and were just pretty normal and average good girls, so it wasn't one that I had heard of people practically going psycho over (at least as far as I could tell from the image I get when visiting campus). Well she goes through and gets a bid to XYZ, which is another really good group on campus and one that I have friends in. She tried it out and decided it just was not for her and depledged so she could go though formal next year which was a smart move...

Fast forward to next year when her pi chi, rho chi, (whatever you call them at your school!) calls her in after second rounds and tells her that ABC didn't ask for her back, but three other groups (ALL really good, and one considered "super popular") DID! Well "Sarah" freaked out in the room, threw HER chair, she MADE her Pi Chi call the sorority to make sure it wasnt a mistake and that she KNEW they asked her back. Well finally they did get ahold of the girls and they said it hadnt been a mistake and they hadnt asked her back! Sarah freaked out, left the room and was not seen from for three days. She finally came back and did not talk about it with anyone... but my friends have heard she wants to go through recruitment AGAIN to see if the girls will take her.

The weird thing is she hung out with the girls all year and everyone thought she would automatically get asked there.... It makes you wonder what happened with this group that others would ask her back, but not the group of girls she wanted so badly!

I am very opposed to the whole "3rd times a charm" thing. I CANNOT stand it when people don't have an open mind during rush, and drop out even when they get alot of invites. For whatever reason, XYZ thinks she's nice, but she just wouldn't fit in their chapter. We all know people that we like, but we don't think they'd fit in our chapter.

Yes, and sometimes it is something as stupid as "I used to date her older brother and we had a bad break-up and I wouldn't want him coming over here to visit" or "she really wants to get involved in intermurals, and our chapter doesn't really participate."

My sorority has definately had our share of psycho stalkers!!
The year I went through 2 girls fell in love with my soroity and ended up getting tattoos while we were still going through rush! They showed my now sisters and it really freaked them out. They ended up going a different sorority!!!

Another girl on my campus who was in a diffferent sorority liked us more than her own sorority. Since the day she pledged she has bragged about how she loves my sorority better than hers. She even rushed girls for us!! Her sorority ended up asking her to quit.

Were the tattoos specific to your org? I wonder what the sorority they ended up joining thought f that.

Wow. I can't believe they found time and energy to do anything in the evenings after those recruitment parties!

I can't imagine ever getting a tattoo, so to be so cavalier as to get ones during recruitment with symbols of sororities in the hopes you'll get a bid.... wow! Not terribly well thought-out.

LOL at 33, but I think it could depend on the girl and chapter. Say I am Irish, and I get a shamrock...doesn't mean I want to go KD. I happen to know a ton of people with turtles, dolphins, moons, etc. However, you get a fleur-de-les or something, that is weird.

Unless you got the tatoo specifically when you were rushing, I don't think a fleur-de-lis tattoo would be that weird. I know that some people just like them and think that they're pretty. There's a little store in Jackson Heights, Queens that's one of those pricey card/candle/gift stores and the woman has fleur-de-lis EVERYWHERE. There's even a fleur-de-lis on the store's business card. I asked the owner of the store if she's a Kappa one time when I was in there and she just looked at me like I had 5 heads and asked me what Kappa is. Turns out she didn't go to college so she's not a Kappa, she just likes them a lot.
