Share your sorority recruitment horror story.
My sorority recruitment horror story was during the house tours. One sorority had a really dirty and unkempt house. But they still expected us to act like it was the best place ever. And the sisters there were very judgmental. They looked at my clothes and shoes in a really disapproving way. I left that recruitment feeling really bad about myself and so glad I didn't have to go through with it.

Common elements include cliquey behavior. The existing members form these tight - knit groups and make it hard for outsiders to break in. There's also the issue of unrealistic expectations. They might expect you to have a certain look, like a particular style of dressing or a certain body type. And sometimes there are power - plays. Older members will try to assert their authority in a really unpleasant way over the new recruits, making the whole recruitment experience really awful.

A recruitment horror story could be when a company hires based on false pretenses. For instance, they say they have a friendly and collaborative work environment. But when the new employee starts, they find out it's a cut - throat and competitive place with a lot of backstabbing. There are also times when recruiters are unprofessional. They ask inappropriate questions during the interview, like personal questions that have nothing to do with the job. This makes the candidate uncomfortable and gives a bad impression of the company.

Can you share a sorority pledge horror story in detail?
Sure. There was a sorority where the pledges were given a 'challenge' that was really a form of hazing. They were told to run a mile while carrying heavy backpacks filled with bricks. If they stopped or dropped the backpacks, they would be punished. One of the pledges, a girl named Sarah, was not very athletic. She struggled from the start but was afraid to stop. As she ran, she tripped and fell, injuring her knee badly. But instead of getting help, the older sorority sisters just yelled at her to keep going. It was a cruel and dangerous situation that could have had even worse consequences. This kind of hazing not only physically hurt the pledges but also had a negative impact on their mental state and self - esteem.
