i'm so happy that i amma

so I just got done doing this recruitment thing where I get to help the incoming freshman go through recruitment and pick houses and thereby lifelong sisters. I felt pretty ambivalent about it the whole week. because it's so sweet that friendships are so easy with other women in the Greek system (NO, NOT BECAUSE WE BUY OUR FRIENDS) but because we have this huge aspect of our lives that we have in common, even if we are completely different. but on the other hand, I have gotten a lot of crap in the past because of the sorority stereotype, and I feel like recruitment is a week where it is true. and I didn't know if I really could justify being in that kind of lifestyle.

BUT [sorry to all of you who thought I was going to be all, YOU'RE RIGHT, SORORITY LIFE SUCKS AND HOW CAN I DO THAT AND I AM SO MUCH LESS COOL THAN YOU] at the end of the week, while the girls in my group serenaded me with Journey's "Don't Stop Believing" because I held their very DESTINIES in the purple envelopes in my hand, I think I came to the conclusion that I wouldn't ever wish it any other way. the system really DOES end up working out for the best and, after only a week, girls find a perfect home away from home.

it was very wonderful and I feel very blessed to have been able to do it.

also I got to drive fifteen passenger vans around campus and HOW HILARIOUS IS THAT MENTAL IMAGE?!
