You should see their recruitment applications: they are absolutely atrocious. I keep thinking this has to be a joke. You used this kind of grammar and spelling knowing someone was going to be assessing you on it. I can’t wait to see their resumes in four years.

I received an email from the recruitment chairman this week and it was teeming with “lol” and “hahahaha.” Also, overuse of exclamation points and CAPS LOCK much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Man, I’m a grouchy old woman.

I agree... but while we're on the topic, you have a run-on sentence there.

Well, I'll be sure to correct that.

BID DAY

Heather and I went together to pick up our bids. Jen started to hang out with some of the girls who had gone to the Mercury parties and went with them. Open your bids. Saturn. Heather got Mars, which she later told me was her first choice from the start, but didn’t seem all that excited about it. I could see Jen jumping up and down with her new Mercury sisters.

When I headed over to the Saturn house with my new sisters to get our new member tees and have the photos taken it seemed I was the only one not crazy excited to be a Saturn. They took us out that evening and all the other new members seemed so happy. I really tried but it just wasn’t in me.

Is that the end? I was hoping for more a wrap up.

Actually, me too. It seemed to be going so well.

NEW MEMBER

They say misery loves company and Leslie, another Saturn new member, and I seemed to gravitate toward each other. She attended the pref party of one of the top sororities, listed them first but got Saturn. It seemed we were the only new members who didn’t want to be there. We talked about dropping out but that didn’t make any sense. Saturn may not be top tier but it is a very good sorority and much better than no sorority at all. The other thing was the current members were so nice to us. None of the hazing you read about in the Pledged book. They made such an effort for us to love Saturn as much as they did. As time passed Leslie and I just got caught up in it and it finally sunk in that Saturn wanted us and the other chapters didn’t so by the time we did the whole white dress and candles thing we were just as Saturn as the other new members.

There is just a little more.
