okay guys... I know that there is a thread that is about rush stories, but since it is old, I didn't want to post anything b/c I didn't think anyone would read it.
Please read this and laugh! I sure will! And remember that while things can get bad during recruitment, they can ALWAYS be worse!
My most embarrassing moment EVER!
Okay, so here I am ready to embark on the adventure that is college. Way before I move into my dorm room (aka cubby hole) I make a HUGE decsion....I am going through Rush (thats what they called it when I went through). So, all summer I dream of what sorority I will join. Will I collect lions? turtles? or how about owls?
As the school year approaches, I get more and more axious. I meet with my Rho Chi and my Rho Chi group. I am SO pumped! We go out to eat and see movies together. I attend GreekFest and Mud Volleyball and have a blast! I cant' wait until Rush begins!
Okay, first night. My nerves are frayed! I dress carefully (a little sundress with cute sandles) and call my mom for some support. I meet my Rho Chi group at 6...and the fun begins!
I first go to Zeta Tau Alpha. Very sweet girls. I become more relaxed and think...I have nothing to worry about.
I then go to Alpha Delta Pi....I impress the girls there by naming my best friend who is the president at a near by chapter. I have a nice time.
Then...I enter Alpha Omicron Pi. The girl who rushes me is AWESOME! She is sweet and bubbly and very talkative...right up my alley. I'm having a very nice time...they decide to play their rush video and I get comfortable on the floor. All goes well...and then I stand up.
As I am talking to Becky the nice AOPi, I start to feel dizzy. Her voice get farther and farther away...everything begins to get blurry...then I realize I AM GOING TO FAINT!! I calmly take Becky's elbow and say "I'm sorry to interupt, but I think I am going to faint"
Next thing you know...BAM! My head hits the coffee table and I am out like a LIGHT! My first thought..."Oh God, I landed on her!" Then I realize that someone is talking to me...I try to stand up, but fall again...Meanwhile, an Alum has pulled my up and has gotten the director of Greek Life himself...the big Kahuna. He drags me out into the hall where I proceed to faint again. So he carries me out fireman style.
*keep in mind...the night is young...I still have 3 parties to go!* I recover and continue on...
Flash forward....I pledge DZ (yea!) We are at our pledge retreat when we start talking about embarrasing moments...I tell everyone my rush story...my new member ed. stats yelling "We got the fainter?! Hey everybody! Blaire's the fainter!" To this day, during recruiment, I always get...Blaire do you feel alright? Do you need to sit down?
Well, I hope this little story made you chukle...I can say that finally, after two years, I am over it!
Oh and to this day, whenever I see Becky, she always gives me a hug and says "it could happen to the best of us, sweetie!"
Blaire
And the fun begins...
Someday...
