K to the A to the P-P-A, G to the A to the M-M-A , Kappa Gamma, That's what I am-a

So yesterday was bid day. Three of our quad ladies were rushing at two of us pref'd the same sorority first so we were all really curious to see who would go where. So we're all sitting around in our white dresses trying to stay distracted so we're not just watching the clock so we're like singing super loud and obnoxious to like Taylor Swift and Miley Cyrus and Jonas Brothers. Well Alyse got formally invited into it first when Alpha Xi came to the door and it was very cute and exciting. But so then we figured it out that we'd be in three different ones, because Katie and Alyse had both pref'd Pi Phi first and neither of them had pref'd Kappa like I had. We pretty much didn't even think of me being Pi Phi which was my second choice so we were pretty excited about the three b20 girls being in different ones. So then Kappa came for me and gave me my invitation and took pictures and it was cute. Then we waited for Pi Phi to come for Katie, because if you're not gonna get invited into a sorority they call you in the morning and tell you so we knew they'd be coming for her. But so we all had to go down to Wallace Hall at 1 and split up into our sororities and like find out which recruitment leaders were in which sorority and learn some songs and then we all rushed out into cars and well kappa has a hay trailer from a place around here that we new pledges jumped on and got crowns and then we got paraded around town and the campus and stuff and just like got loud and obnoxious and shit. It was fun. But then we got out at stewart house (our founding house) and hung out for a bit and got little bracelets then did a formal pledge and got our new member pins and our bid day t-shirts (which were hot pink) and then we had like half hour to get changed into our shirts and then meet to walk to our advisor's house for a cookout thing where we just hung out and chilled and learned some more songs then we did a candle pass with all three sororities and the seniors did a candle pass and one last bid day rendition of a song and then the kappas did the song too. And then we were free to go do anything that was within the limits of purity day. Bid day is purity night so like no drinking, no boys, nothing that wouldn't be fitting for a sorority girl to do in her letters, even though we weren't in letters. In letters you can't do anything you couldn't do in church- which includes no swearing which I'm really gonna have to work on. But I have til October to get used to that because that's when formal initiation is. But yeah. That was sorority bid day.

But I got back to the dorm and hung out with Katherine and one of her friends from ILA, who is in my communications class, and Abby and we were gonna watch friends and we started just talking and it was a ton of fun just being able to tell stories with people. But then we did watch some friends and it was fun.
The point of the story is that I'm having a lot of fun in college but I do have work to do now. I have 102 pages of history to read by wednesday so I probably should get on that.

College Life- week 1

I've been at school for almost a week now and I am proud to say I've already done things I figured I wouldn't...
I get along with my three quadmates amazingly. Honestly, i never thought I could live with someone peacefully and I've been doing it and almost enjoying it.
I decorated. Yes, i know that seems like a nothing thing, but I've never had like pictures of my best friends or letters from them up and prominent as like a space that shows me and what's important in my life.
I have talked on the phone to someone everyday. Yes, that's right, the girl who notoriously doesn't pick up her phone when you call has been calling people herself because I really do miss everyone.
I rushed a sorority. I know I said I didn't get it and wouldn't do it, but I decided maybe to see what it was about and pay the 5 dollars to go through recruitment. I had a blast. Every night I had fun. Tonight I was maybe a little tired of it, and anxious for bid day tomorrow but I still had a lot of fun and I'm really excited to find out what I will be. I got invited back to all three both nights of invite only- I was really excited about it and had no one around to gush to because my quadmates that are rushing with me didn't get invited to the ones they wanted, or all the ones they wanted and I didn't want to get super excited in front of them when they were upset and I didn't really know who to talk to about it. But it's ok because I made my decision and I'll see how it turns out tomorrow and if I hate it I can always deactivate but I somehow don't see myself doing that. The point is, sorority life is kinda addicting right now.

Classes have been ok so far too; I'm bored with Latin right now, History wasn't as intense as i thought it would have been from the first day but I think it'll get there probably, Intro the Theatre and Film has been fun so far- the movie we watched today (Being John Malkovic) was absolutely batshit bizarre, Intro to Liberal Arts so far is pretty damn basic, and Communications is kinda fun also has a bit of eye candy so that makes it better :).

But I am tired now and have to be ready for bid day craziness.
