Thanks so much for all the congrats!
This is a long post with random outbursts of sports, sisterhood, and ALSO a twist
so tech wrecked last night!
it was incredible, i was there, and i rushed the field... at the right time
Lubbock felt like the center of the nation last night with so much media attention, it was incedible. The Tech-UT game [i thought] was overhyped, but amazingly it lived up to that hype. The next week we [fans] will be living in the afterglow of the victory, while the players get geared up for the next game.... [i miss being a sports journalist, i could go on and on]
i did call all my UT friends to [honestly] give them props for a good game, but i heard some very unpleasant things
I don't do that to them when they call me to talk about a game that THEY win.
MEANIES!
with that being said. we made lovely tote bags [w AOE on them] today. They actually turned out really really well, and we got permission from AOE to use their letters [this was a sisterhood event that we planned before we even filed our petition]
we are so happy to actually become part of a national organization that is so well established!
and another twist.... i am
redraidergirl....
many of you commented on my other threads, and i'm pretty sure that you can see how much i've [hopefully] matured. I've definately realized that its about a sisterhood, and not just letters. My parents aren't totally on terms with what i'm doing, but they can't stop me and it has helped me.... ALOT. When i wrote under that name i didn't understand greek life, and had never gone through any form of rush. still unable to go through FR due to family commitments, i went through spring rush, and honestly i think it helped me. Looking back, i know i would prob. not have personally benefited being part of the orgs [not that they aren't strong and good, it just wasn't my place.] I accomplished something and helped many other girls in my position as well [we all wanted female 'sisters' in a totally male dominated field] by backing off the fact that i wanted to leave a legacy behind, and focusing on working to form a bond between female engineers, i accomplished so much more than i could have imagined, and worked from scratch to start something that is so much bigger than me!
