My Poli Sci class got cancelled today, so my quest for "involvitude" officially began.
I decided to attack the sorority idea. On campus, I think there are five or six to choose from (I'm not really sure), but the first to approach me today was Alpha Omicron Pi. I don't really know how to tell one sorority apart from another, so I decided to comprise two simple, standard questions with which I can approach each group. #1 "What makes your 'family' different than the rest?'" So I asked Alpha Omicron Pi.
"We're basically the most diverse sorority on campus," replies the girl with the stretched earlobes and metal hoop hanging out of her septum. "We're totally all about individuality!" Yes, I can see your individuality hanging out of your nose.
Ok. Diversity is good. Next, "What does your sorority do?"
"Well," answers Katie with the heart over her "i", we have formals, Saturday hangouts, parties, exchanges with fraternities, and sisterhood events! One time at midnight, we all decided to go tanning! We go to frat parties, too. Do you like to dance?"
"It's okay... I enjoy drunken self-expression as much as the next person, I guess..." I thanked them for their time and information, but I couldn't help feeling disheartened as I walked away. I know the existing stereotypes for sororities, but in my own world, I always imagined I'd find my niche. I always thought I'd stumble upon some small, unknown group of girls who are quietly discussing Voltaire in a cave somewhere. That's the sorority for me... The Dead Philosophers' Society.
