Sorority Life and School Stuff 2/15/2003
Being in a sorority is like being in a soap opera 24/7. Before the fourth round of Rush one of the girls from my sorority took me aside and asked to speak with me. Apparently the girls in my sorority think I'm "obnoxious and disrespectful" because I speak my mind. According to her, newly-inducted sisters like me are supposed to be like young children: seen and not heard. To tell you the truth, that's bullshit. I'm twenty years old, and I'm not allowed to speak my mind??? Especially since I'm expected to call these new girls my sisters? And what's worse, is that my sorority voted out a lot of really cool girls for some really stupid reasons. (ie too short, too overweight, too blonde, not enough blonde, too quiet, not quiet enough...). As a result, we have only nine girls accepting a bid from us, when we usually have 10-15 girls in a spring semester pledge class.
I worked so incredibly hard during pledging. I failed my organic chemistry class, which is partly my own fault and stupidity, so I could earn the respect of some of these girls. And yet they tell me after all the shit that they put me through that I'm obnoxious and disrespectful simply for being the only one with balls in my pledge class and speaking my mind.
I was crying throughout Rush, since my supposedly good friend Mary Beth back up Meredith, the sister who had originally taken me aside. This sorority is such bullshit, and for anyone thinking of joining a sorority: don't.
I met some pretty cool people through my sorority, but only about 15 people out of 52 even talk to me and want me there. Everyone else is just rather bitchy.
In other news, I'm doing pretty well in my classes this semester. After my 2.6 last semester, I have no choice but to get my ass back in gear. I'm taking biology, psych, comparative world lit, and painting. I'm thinking of changing my biology major to psychobiology and making my double major in art, a minor in art. I's really like to graduate in four years, and I can't do that if I'm double majoring in psychobiology and studio art. But I'm doing well, so far this semester, which is my first priority. I've also started doing independent research through the psychology department. I'm in a pretty prestigious environmental neuropsychology lab, which gives me two extra credits, plus it knocks off some psychology prerqs, which is nice. It'll also look great on a resume, give me some networking for future research labs, and hopefully, a recommendation.
Okie, gotta get back to studying for my biology test. I'll write more often; I forgot how cathartic my diary is.
