Hi again,

Your making me feel lots better. Actually I am pretty social, and thats something I noticed about sorority girls, they are so willing to just walk right up and have a full-on conversation with anyone, just like me. I guess I was always the one to go to the wallflower of the party and get her out there, as opposed to running right up to the girls in the center of attention.

I should have been clearer, I love parties, and I drink socially, but OSU is the 5th most partying school, I mean geez, I do want to make it to class the next day...lol. So I guess I figured that if greeks want to be in the middle of the social scene, and the main social scene happens to be drunken riots at OSU. I've been to some of these kinda parties and if you aren't drinking they really do bug you (how immature is that) and I end up having no fun cause complete strangers are bringing me drinks all night. Maybe I should have been looking at it like, if I had a sister with me, at least she's got my back...lol.

In high school i was in flag corp, and we were 36 strong and spent huge amounts of time together. I had no idea I would miss the bond that much untill we were scattered at different colleges.

Anyway, about having time for all the sisterly stuff, actually this is the first time since I was 15 that I don't have a job. I still work hard, but I just use the energy on doing well in classes. I want a good GPA, to apply to grad school or law school with. So, money is tight but I will cross the dues bridge, if and when I come to it. But adding these huge extracurriculars, philanthropy and leadership of a sorority is exactly the thing I'd like to have on that application. You can only study so much, without having a pick-me-up or little event, or just something that makes you feel like you belong somewhere other than your books occasionaly.

Anyway, I'm sure all those non-greeks would tell me I live in a fairy tale world on this issue, but I'll take it from those who have been there.

Thanks!
