This thread is far and away my favorite. It is so nice to hear that other people are going through the same stuff as me. I graduated May 2004 and being alum is like going through withdrawl from some major dependancy that you just gave up. I actually missed recruitment this year, I wished I was there even though I always really hated it cause I always ended up way to stressed and tired at the end of the week.
It's really hard for me because my boyfriend is still in school and is the social chair of his fraternity and hangs out with his frat brothers ALL the time. And right now I am in town visiting and I feel like the lame old person (even though I am only 22, how sad is that!) cause everyone else is in school and people will ask me what year I am and I have to say that I am done. That's the worst part, I look and sound younger than I am so if people don't ask then they just assume that I am still in school.
In AX we used to talk about the younger alumni of any group (ours, frats, etc) that didn't really go away. You know the ones, the ones who come to all the parties, date dashes, etc even though they have graduated. We loved them and all but it was a running joke that they were "sketch alum" and though I am in town (like I said) I haven't so much as driven by my sorority house for fear of being labled sketch alum.
Blah Blah Blah, I'm rambling. Basically my point was that it's kinda sad, hard, whatever being a new alumni and it's good to see that other are in my shoes.
