For those of you who know, rushing sororities and fraternities is a pressure cooker of an experience. It's also not one of those challenging processes in life that brings out the best in people. 

As someone who never acquiesced and succumbed to the Greek Life experience but observed many peers go through it, I can say with confidence that rushing can feel as high stakes as applying to college. So why would someone willingly put themselves in that situation? Well, socialization and social hierarchies are powerful, dear reader, and this college student understood that fact all too well. 

She knew that it was her roommate's dream to join the sorority that the Redditor's sister was in, and the Redditor used this fact to her advantage after a particularly dreadful and petty fight. Keep scrolling below to see how the Redditor sabotaged her roommate's chances. For more stories like this, take a look at this post about a stubborn dad's conflict with his daughter.

    Ok so this is one of my favorite petty moments and I just want to laugh about it again.

    So my senior year of college I had the worst roommate problems. The first roommate we both contributed to the issues I won't lie. But the second is where we start with my petty revenge. To

    day I tossed my scarf on the desk and it landed on her side. I genuinely didn't notice so I didn't move it to my side of the desk.

    I return to the dorm with all of my things on the floor and her talking to her mom. She's calling me everything but a child of God and is threatening to fight me. So I just laughed and said I'd sue her for a b ult. She calls me a weak and in that moment i concocted my plan.

    You see, she wanted to be in the sorority that my younger sister was in. And my sister was that girl to know. She's gorgeous, smart, funny and was VERY involved with her chapter. My

    roommate has been begging me to connect her with my sister but I knew the process and that wasn't what she was supposed to do.

    And if you know anything are Greek organizations, you are supposed to be incredibly discreet and not tell anyone you're interested in joining. So I

    asked my sister for the number of her president. She didn't know why but she passed it along anyway. I proceeded to tell her president ALLLLLLLL about this girl and how she's been telling a lot of people that she'll be crossing soon and how excited she is to be in this organization.

    Now please note that I was indeed not the only person she'd been telling this to. The president was appalled and asked me to tell her my roommates name again.

    The girl never did cross the chapter at our undergrad university. And as far as I know she hasn't crossed in a graduate chapter either. (Idk about white sororities but Black Greek organizations allow for those who have graduated college to join as well).

    She may one day be in that organization but she'll never ever be in that particular chapter and I get so much glee from this almost 7 years later.

    ElectricalFocu... • 20h ago. This girl was incredibly stupid. She knew sister was a big deal in sorority and couldn't figure out how to lavish attention on OP to make a good impression on sister? Disqualified on stupidity alone.

    pheffner • 23h ago So, fair play you got some payback, but wouldn't it have been somewhat better to be rid of her by letting her go off to a sorority, or was it a non-residential one?

    . Sharp_Coat3797 • 11h ago Sweet justice but never knowing why she didn't make the invite to join...sort of defeats the pettiness. But still, good job
