[Pirouette]

After talking a lot to her mother, her sister, her high school friends, and even her new friend at school who she went to high school with, Abby decided to seriously look into transferring. She applied to her sister’s school and kept in contact with the Brooke sisters from her sister’s school through facebook. By the week of initiation, Abby still hadn’t heard if she had been accepted or not. If she did initiate, she wasn’t sure if she’d be happy as a Brooke at her current campus. Of course, there was no guarantee that the Brooke chapter at this other school would allow her to transfer her membership (though her new Brooke friends from that school told her they thought she had a very good chance of being welcomed into their chapter).

Eventually, she made the choice to become an initiated member of Brooke. She felt a little better about the chapter, but still not completely at home. If she did not get accepted to her sister’s school, she wasn’t sure if she could be as devoted to Brooke that the chapter deserved so Abby started to look at other schools in her home state that had a Brooke chapter. There were a few where she had high school friends at and considered them a good back-up.

Finally, she got a letter from the other college. She’d been accepted! She booked another trip to visit the school and e-mailed the Brooke President before she even called her family to let them know she’d got in.

A few weeks later, she travelled to the other school and hung out with the Brooke sisters a lot. She met most of the chapter and even cheered on sisters in another sorority’s philanthropy event. Some of their new members showed her around the dorms and gave the pros and cons of each building. Overall, it was a great weekend. But she didn’t want to get her hopes-up after the let down she felt over Mackenzie.

Abby wrapped things-up at her old school. Her sorority sisters were sad to see her go (and probably a little mad that they wasted a bid on a girl who was just going to transfer anyways) but understood that she wasn’t happy at the school. Her big helped her pack-up her room and promised to keep in touch. The guy she went to high school was the hardest for her to leave (even though he lived about 5 minutes away from her at home). Would the new friends she made at her new school wake-up early and eat breakfast with her at 6:30 in the morning every day?

In January, Abby moved into her new school. She stopped by the Brooke house pretty much every day until the chapter meeting when they would vote her in or not. But the friends she had made in the chapter during her first visit were right, she had no problems being welcomed into the Brooke chapter.

Abby still talks to a few Brooks from her old chapter. Her big has kept in touch, just like she promised. She even mailed Abby a present for her birthday.

Oh, and that guy she went to high school with? He was her date to formal. She won’t admit they’re dating, but my Aunt says they’ve been hanging out a lot for two people who never even spoke to each other in high school.

It was a long route to get home, but Abby is finally happy to be a Brooke. Sometimes she thinks about Mackenzie, but maybe because her current school does not have a chapter of Mackenzie, it’s not that often. Or maybe it’s because Brooke has replaced Mackenzie as Abby’s idea of “THE GREATEST SORORITY EVER!”

So who is Brooke?

Abby is now sisters with her Aunt…
