Lost Points
So as I mentioned in the Amish Photo post I am in Indiana right now. And I cant tell if I lost some IQ points or if I am just being pretentious… Danielle wants to rush in a sorority *rolls eyes*, and her rush activities started last night. Being the up-for-anything friend that I am I agreed to go with and see what this huge sub-culture that seems to attract so many young women was all about. Little did I know that I would soon be caught up in the hair twirling and lip gloss applying cult.
I thought that I would go and toss out the occasional “hannah-esque” comment in regards to the people surrounding us… nope. Apparently if you go to the meeting you get tossed in to the House Rounds. I had to go around talking and laughing and smiling to all these very upbeat girls in different “houses”. By the end of the night my feet hurt from the dang shoes and my mouth hurt from the incessant smile plastered to my face and my pride hurt from being seen walking around campus with this particular group of people. Thank goodness there was no one that I knew (other than Danielle) there.
Those that know me know that Im not exactly the sorority type… to say the least. I like to think and act for myself not as one “sisterhood”. And being forced to make awkward small talk about my “totally fun summer” and where I like to shop (not to mention the girls that wanted to only talk about pop tarts and babysitting… what was that about?) just cemented the fact further in my head that sorority sister life just isnt for me. I will say that I did change my mind about them all being airheads though, there were some girls that looked like they had never been outside of a library a single day in their lives… So kudos to them for changing the stereotype- but still, not for me…
(And it is noteworthy to point out that Danielle (thankfully) changed her mind about her Sisterhood aspirations)
