9:43 pm - Ug. Formal Recruitment.
|
Tonight, I went to my first recruitment party from the other side. Ug. I didn't mind it, but I definitely think somethings are wack. I understand that we should have a good representation of the sorority, look nice, be polite, all that jazz, but I'm not going to censor myself. I don't believe in putting on a false front - if these girls do pledge, they will know sooner or later than I'm sarcastic and slightly off the wall. I made conversation, but I was still myself.
There's one sister that puts on a new persona for every event that she goes to - you can literally see that she presents herself in a different way. It's sickening, because you're never sure if you're getting the real her, or if there is even a real her.
As the night began to wind down, I grabbed a chip and one of the sisters that I'm really close to made piggy sounds, so I smacked her on the ass. Not hard. I swear! But I got a glare/shifty look from the girl mentioned above. Oh well. I'm sure that out of the moment, the two prospective girls beside us will remember that glare more than the smack.
If I knew that being in a sorority was going to make me catty or that I would have to put up with catty people, I would have re-thought joining. And I did think about it breifly when I got my bid, but the excitement of a group of girls actually wanting me in their organization kind of clouded my brain. I didn't realize at the time that they were just trying to fulfill a quota.
There's a new historically black sorority on campus; I talked with one of the girls of that sorority about the differences between a 'black' and a 'white' sorority and I'm kind of having regrets. A black sorority is a culture, a white sorority is which of us is better. A black sorority looks for quality over quantity. A black sorority is for life, a blood sister, and it's just not the same in a white sorority.
However, there is some good and the reason why I'm still in the sorority is because of the sexy, awesome ladies that I pledged with. I know that I wouldn't be as close with them if I had never joined. Oh my. Yawn.
Tonight, I had my first macaroon, given to me from one of my pledge class sisters. Yum! I love coconut.
In other news, I'm excited for the weekend! There's a mixer with a frat planned for this saturday, but it's wet so I'm not planning on going. I think there's about two other girls that are not going either, so we might go out for sushi or a movie. Imagine, we do other things on the weekends than getting drunk.
English Club is planning a reading for banned books week to raise awareness, but homecoming is on the Saturday that we want to do the reading (so no one is really going to come). So we changed the time, which is fine and dandy.
RAing is fine, I'm on duty tomorrow night. I had two sisters visit me on Wednesday, when I was last on duty. One is a huge slash fan, so I showed her the Naruto episode (episode three) where Naruto and Sasuke kiss. Fun times.
I have too much reading for tonight. I suck at life and time management.

12:41 pm - They're not very smart sometimes
|
So, I have a funny story about my residents; I just got back from the library and I saw one of them climbing one of the trees outside of the building. It's a nice sized tree, easily climbed. As I'm walking up to them, I say, 'Excuse me, you need to get down from there please.' He kind of looked at me, so I told him that I'm an RA. And he said 'Seriously.' I said yes, and then I was like, what do you think, I joke about these things. He climbed down and his friend said to me that they'd heard that the tree was good for climbing. ::facepalm:: Well, of course that makes it okay then.
current mood:  amused

Five Truths About Me:
1. I have an addiction to fanfiction, I enjoy reading R and above rated fics. Because I like porn.
2. I like having super short hair. Even if it might make me look like a lesbian.
3. Because I might be bi. Or at least, I recognize that girls are hot. I'm comfortable with my sexuality and with others' sexuality.
4. I identify as female and my sex is female.
5. I am super comfortable with my body.
Okay, I lied.... A Bunch of Truths About Me:
6. I'm very invovled on campus.
7. I created this journal so that I can say what I want to without my friends knowing.
8. Because I am bound by confidentiality issues also... and sometimes I just want to bullshit without people I know reading what I say.
9. I have one hate-hate relationship and that is with my sister.
10. I am in a sorority.
11. I love and hate my life.
12. I like to think that I don't do platitudes, so if I ask 'How are you?,' I actually, really, want to know.
13. I'm scared that something I say on the internet will get back to me in RL.
current mood:  groggy
