You could be writing this story about countless seniors, male & female. I thought my formerly wonderful, future Pike/son would drive me batty during his senior year. Between college applications/acceptances and general attitude, well let's just say things were just a little tense at home

. By his first visit (and favorite meal) home from school, he was back to his old self again.

HAHAHA! My mom would have definately nicknamed me opinionated. I'm loving this thread!

So, Opinionated didn't join a GLO, but became friends with some of the sisters, right.

You probably were thinking that the H stood for "Him."

I knew it wouldn't take long for you clever GCers to figure out what my screen name means! You will find out how that name comes about at the end of my Tale!!!

Give me a minute and I'll post the next chapter.

Daughter #1s Story

Of course, she’s heard all about how much Dad and I loved our time at the “University of Red Brick Sidewalks and Towering Oaks.” She’s been to football games, Homecoming weekends and sports camps on the campus for as long as she can remember. But, Daughter #1 is Opinionated. So odd for a first child (yeah right)!! SHE will NOT be attending our alma mater. SHE wants to go to a smaller school farther north and preferably as far away from Mom and Dad as possible. Okay, no problem. We drive all week and tour small to medium schools far and wide. She likes a few, narrows her list and plans to apply in the fall. I nod and smile and say very little, as is wise for parents of teens, especially when they’re in their “I know it ALL” years.

Fall of her senior year comes and I hear little talk of college apps. In the way of today’s mothers, I poke and prod a little to make sure she knows about the deadlines etc. (BTW – How in the world did we ever research, apply and get admitted to college before the Internet?? No wonder I was so clueless… see previous posts for details!) I know from the almost daily updates from the College Guidance office at her school that they’d like all applications in to them by mid November for review. One night at dinner, I casually inquire as to the status of her apps. Giving me the “look” that we all know so well, Opinionated informs me that she sent her early decision application weeks ago to the “University of Red Brick Sidewalks and Towering Oaks’ and should hear pretty soon if she’s been admitted. WHAT??? After picking myself and extremely surprised Dad off the floor, we silently rejoice that she has seen the light.

I love that you've nicknamed her Opinionated...

As my Tale continues, you will find out that I have given all 3 daughters nicknames. Since they are all wonderful, complex girls with many characteristics, the nicknames are just ones I came up with that most accurately described their attitudes about GLOs and experiences with rush.

Daughter #1s Story….. Part 2

It’s June of 2002. Opinionated and I are at orientation. She was accepted early decision and whenever Dad teased her about her proclamations of not EVER attending the “University of Red Brick Sidewalks and Towering Oaks” she pretends not to hear him. She, of course, is thrilled to be a member of the incoming freshman class. Orientation is a two day event where the kids and parents rarely see each other. Each go off in different directions and attend sessions about University life.

On the second day, I’m walking across my beloved red brick sidewalks chatting with a good friend whose daughter will also be a freshman. And then it happens. Suddenly, I see a girl casually strolling across campus wearing a Greek letter tee!! Of course, at that point my own experiences come rushing (no pun intended) back and I KNOW that I have another chance to experience Greek life. Not first hand of course but, if Opinionated decided to rush, vicariously. (Yes, I hear all of you laughing at this point!!) Orientation ends and I bide my time, waiting for the perfect moment to “suggest” rush to Opinionated.

Oh yes, but it's got to be the suggested in way that makes her think it's her idea type of suggested, if it have correct read on her personality and stage of development. It's hard to pull off.

What a fun thread! I can't wait to read about Opinionated's opinions about Greek Life!
