I just got addicted to Twilight this past month, at first I thought I would hate them but my aunt got the four books for me for Christmas so I felt like I should at least try to read them, I was hooked lol. Anyways time for another update...
Spring 2008 came around and I was interested in going through COBs once I saw a flier for
Stephenie Meyer. There was an information night that I decided to intend, each sorority had their own booth. I ran into another hallmate of mine "Karen" right at the entrance so we decided to walk around together.
F. Scott Fitzgerald-Karen wasn't very interested in this group but I wanted to see what they had to say. It turned out that one of the girls "Jocelyn" graduated from the same high school I did! I had such a great time talking to her and she introduced me to everyone there! She seemed so genuinely interested in me and it was great to reminisce about some of the things that made our high school so amazing
She acted so excited to meet a fellow "Knight" and I was equally excited to make a connection with her. She gave me the dates of their events and I couldn't wait to go to one!
Stephenie Meyer-Once again this group did not impress me very much but I was still determined to make it work (silly PNM that I was lol). They were a lot nicer this time but there was no connection like there was with
Fitzgerald. Still I was really excited to go to their events and so was Karen.
John Grisham-This was Karen's favorite and my hallmate/close friend had just pledged Grisham in the fall. She really loved it but I still didn't feel like it was the right fit for me. I knew a couple other girls in this chapter and it seemed like all they did was study, they didn't seem very active on campus and I was looking to get involved more and make new friends.
Tess Gerritsen-I honestly couldn't even tell you if this chapter was there that night. I'm pretty sure they were but I had zero interest so I didn't talk to them.
Nicholas Sparks-I met another fellow Knight here and it turned out that she was the one who had given me my tour when I had been considering transferring! What a small world. It was definitely clear that she loved her sorority and her enthuasism was contagious. She also told me that one of my favorite teachers had been a
Nicholas Sparks at our campus so that was really cool. This was the last booth I visited and I spent so much time talking to them and when the event was over I didn't want to leave.
There were PHC representatives that were there, disaffialited from their chapters, to talk about different aspects of PHC, such as scholarship and philanthropy from a more general perspective. I talked to some of them and they made me feel really good about Greek Life.
At this point I decided that I was only going to COB events for
Stephenie Meyer,
F. Scott Fitzgerald, and
Nicholas Sparks. Karen wanted to go to the same ones except she obviously included
John Grisham as well.
More to come tomorrow!
