We are only on day 5 of 8. I feel like I could sleep for days on days and not be caught up on sleep. I will admit that our sorority has it fairly easy though. We have only had one ten hour day, and we do not have to scream all day.
So far I have learned that Kappa Kappa Gamma was most definitely the right sorority for me and I would not change it for the world. I do, however, continue to go back to the questions I asked myself when I myself was a PNM going through this recruitment thing. I had NO idea what to expect. Not a clue. My grandma pledged Pi Beta Phi and dropped because of grades. My mom pledged Kappa Delta and she dropped because of grades. It makes me wonder what I did that was right to get into the house that I did. Was it fate? I know I did not have a recommendation for this house, so I had to have done something to make them realize I was a good out of state girl.
Another thing that has made me wonder why I enjoy being in a sorority is how based on looks it really is. I was raised to not think twice about how a girl looks. If she's nice and wants to be my friend, who am I to say, "no we can't be friends because you wore a braid on Tuesday and braids aren't cool." Don't get me wrong, when I walk into a class for the first time, I admit I choose where I sit by how pretty the girls are. Yes that's wrong and no I shouldn't do it, but it is a subconscious thing. Now, I will not just not talk to someone because they aren't the pretty people that I sat next to.
I guess I just have to remember that although these girls may not become one of my sisters this year because we have no way of knowing these 1100 girls coming through recruitment and relying on looks alone, they will end up in a good house because there is no bad sorority here. These girls are also judging us on how we look, so it is a somewhat good compromise.
Stay klassy!
