I'm putting off the house cleaning so here goes...Once upon a time (a very long time ago).
The summer after graduation, I was going to teas with a lot of "old ladies" standing around asking us about future plans. I had heard these names, but had only met one or two through my Grandmother. I only recently came to realize that these ladies were the ones to write the recs. There were several girls who appeared much older than me as well. I was the only one going to my University, so I guess I was the best they could offer from my city. I did have a great resume, grades etc.
The sororities were AXO, Chi-O, DZ, DG, ZTA and Phi Mu. What I remember most was our Rho Chi putting us into cars and attending parties in River Oaks and off Memorial Dr. Many girls were judging the sororities by the houses. No competition in this rush that I could see, but then I was like, sure I'll go through rush, no special clothes, no thought, just an "I've got nothing better to do attitude." I cut Phi Mu and DZ because somebody said Phi Moo and DZ (at that time- to an innocent) looked
a little too "experienced". I can't remember how it all went, I just
know I was never cut. DG's were all blond and had big boobs so I didn't like them.(Not to mention I thought having a doll for a mascot was dumb) and Chi-O had a stupid owl and I didn't like their pin. My sister was pushing me to go ZTA- they were all her friends (yes DIRTY RUSH LOL) AXO had a beautiful pin and the girls were really classy, sophisticated. My pref was with ZTA and AXO. I don't think we went to three. If we did, the other would have been Chi-O. I cried at both prefs, AXO put the president on me and my future big sis. My Rho Chi was a ZTA and I can picture her perfectly.One thing I know, I could have been just as happy with ZTA. Now, a short story. The first chapter meeting we were told to sit on the floor. I looked around and noticed a little white pill. I held it up and said "Uh-oh, somebody dropped their medicine." You never saw so many purses jerked open and faces go pale, or heard so many whispers. I HAD NO IDEA. My future big explained it all.
