I get my pictures back from exchanges and dances, stand with my sisters in a crowded area of school and cry out things like "Oh my god! I don't even remember taking that picture!" and "(name of sister standing with you), how drunk were we in this one?!"
My world crumples when I have lost my black eyeliner.
During serenades, my popularity is at risk, seeing which fraternity will give me the most flowers in chapter in front of my sisters.
I have to work out the day of social events to account for the alcohol calories I will be consuming that night.
I go to get my hair highlighted at the same place as all my sisters do.
Freshman year, when I visit my other pledge sisters in the dorms, I leave white board messages signed "ZLAM, PPL, ITB etc..."
When a sister goes tanning, I ask her who was working that day. Oh, Kristi? I LOOVE HER. She is SOOO CUTE!
When I go tanning, I show everyone(especially guys) the little sticker imprint to show how dark I got.
If I had a bad day, I would sacrifice a day of food expense for a manicure or a new Abercrombie top.
But also...
I have learned to be very diplomatic in the intense politics of greek life.
I have grown more compassionate with every philanthropy.
I love children.
I will drag my hung over nasty self out of bed on a Saturday morning to work a food drive or a humane shelter... and I will have an incredible time with my girls.
