One of my sisters has "Louis" (named after The Spirit of St. Louis... she's a flight major), a guinea pig. He was always our mascot and we'd yell, "Do it for Louis!" at volleyball games.
This sister moved into the house and Louis now has a cage in the corner of the kitchen dining room. He knows that he is not allowed in the hall that leads to all the bedrooms... it is too funny! I think we should have made him our Bordeaux Beau this year, but it went to a very deserving guy instead.
However, now EVERYONE wants a damn pet. My sorority house is becoming a zoo because everyone wants to bring their pets over. Between the girls, there's now like, 3 dogs, 2 guinea pigs, a snake, a sugar glider, and God knows what. I'm going to recommend that pets can't come over any more except for outdoor events, because girls have been bringing pets to chapter meetings and no one pays attention any more. Yes, I love dogs, and they're cute, but they aren't members!
