Ok ladies,
I need your support...this is just getting a little too rough for me. Maybe it was the college I went to and the fact that there was a distinct rift between the non-greek students and the greek ones, or the fact that initially my parents didnt understand why I went greek in the first place (they support it now, aside from the occasional eye-rolling), but I feel like my greek enthusiasm is being bogged down by others. I'm not a cookie-cutter sorority girl, never will be, but I love wearing my letters (I just became an alumna) and I still enjoy buying little things to do w/ PiPhi (stationery, keychains, looking at a lavalier...etc). My mom tends to say "arent you getting a little old for that now?" or something along those lines but yesterday at work I got particularly pissed off. Ok, so we had done inventory in the department store I work for about a week ago...and since it was done through the middle of the night we could wear whatever we wanted...I wore letters. Some people commented on it, nothing negative...one guy who works in my department was amongst those who said something. Then yesterday, he asked me what the necklace I was wearing said and when I said it was a lavalier w/ my letters on it he rolled his eyes and said "oh god." What the hell is wrong with people???? Do I have to now pretend that this part of my life is nonexistent SIMPLY because I am no longer in college? Are they jealous??? I usually am told that they wouldn't join a group like that but then they find it necessary to poke fun at me even though I am an intelligent, nice, and respectful person.....I dont go around making fun of people for their various affiliations (ie: calling people hicks for being in a 4H club). I'm just getting really sick of it....especially because PiPhi is very special to me....I'm going through a rough transition period when I have NO IDEA what the rest of my life will entail and right now I am relying on things that are comfortable....like family, close friends, and PIPHI. Is there something wrong with that? Up until very recently, I never thought so
Help, sisters!
