Hi. This is the first official posting of me- how wonderful. Anyway, since we all just came back to school, there is not much going on. I moved in on Saturday and it has taken this long for me to put away all of my stuff.
Sorority rush is starting soon so I have been to what feels like a thousand info. meetings. I was a junior when I rushed so this is all new to me. There are all of these stupid rules that I have to follow and I am not even sure why I should follow them. One of these rules was that I could not be seen or associate with one of my good friends because she is a freshman head resident. Oh, all of these rush rules are set up so sororities don't sway the rushees or whatever, I don't really get it. Anyway, my friend isn't greek and she is a senior so obviously she isn't rushing so why the hell couldn't I talk to her? One of my roommates who is in my sorority was in a similar situation so we talked to the InterSorority Council and success, I can now eat lunch with my friend!
If you really want to know how stupid all of these rules are just listen to this. A girl in my sorority has a sister at W & M who is a freshman but isn't rushing. She has to get permission from the InterSorority Council to even call her sister on the phone but she can't go see her. Can you believe? You need a note to talk to someone in your own family!!!! If I was this person I would say the hell with the rules and do whatever I wanted. I never realized that this would impede my life as it is now. But aside from all of my bitching, I am really excited about rush and about meeting all these new people. It is going to be hard work and will take lots of time but I think it will all be worth it. I am so excited about getting a little sister. I love my big and she is the greatest but everyone in my family was a senior (all 3 of them) and they graduated. I am all alone and it is kind of lonely to see everyone else with their families and me with no one. I hope everyone is feeling sorry for me. No, I am just kidding. Sorry this is so boring but nothing exciting has happened yet; no weird drunk stories or anything. Maybe next time.
Buh-Bye- Caitlyn
