Daughter #1s Story….. Part 2
It’s June of 2002. Opinionated and I are at orientation. She was accepted early decision and whenever Dad teased her about her proclamations of not EVER attending the “University of Red Brick Sidewalks and Towering Oaks” she pretends not to hear him. She, of course, is thrilled to be a member of the incoming freshman class. Orientation is a two day event where the kids and parents rarely see each other. Each go off in different directions and attend sessions about University life.
On the second day, I’m walking across my beloved red brick sidewalks chatting with a good friend whose daughter will also be a freshman. And then it happens. Suddenly, I see a girl casually strolling across campus wearing a Greek letter tee!! Of course, at that point my own experiences come rushing (no pun intended) back and I KNOW that I have another chance to experience Greek life. Not first hand of course but, if Opinionated decided to rush, vicariously. (Yes, I hear all of you laughing at this point!!) Orientation ends and I bide my time, waiting for the perfect moment to “suggest” rush to Opinionated.
