A Much Needed Update

I haven't written in here for awhile, so i thought I should. Mainly because I guess last night at the girl's apartment, my "secret" came out. So, I feel a need to write about it.

I'm pledging a sorority.

And I like it.

So there.

In all honesty, I never thought I would. Come on, me? But, I went to one of their open house things, and I love the girls. They're down to earth and sweet. And I need something to do besides sitting on my bum in my room. So, I'll deal with the name calling and the "What the heck are you doing?" from everyone I know. Who thinks they know me.

I have never been one who would do something this sudden. But I'm happy with my choice and I think, in the long run, it'll help me. Perhaps I'll come out of my shell a little. I can be shy sometimes, even if you don't see it all the time. Hopefully, I make new friends, and learn more about myself in the process.

You might be shaking your head saying, "Allie, what are you doing?" Eh, I thought that too. But I guess sometimes things happen, experiences happen to you, and try as you might, there isn't a good explanation for why it happened. So, this is what I'm doing. I have already been criticized and made fun of, so if you want to jump on that bandwagon, go ahead.

There is another, smaller, crappier bandwagon of people actually supporting me. They could use some members over there too.

I have never done anything so completely out of my element. This is a long way from Sigma Tau Delta of last year. I guess that I really might become (yeah right) the person we all make fun of.

But I'm okay with that.

I think its awesome your joining a sorority. People thought the same thing when I was joining a fraternity, and still do, but it was probably one of the best decisions I have ever made. It sucks people have so many stereotypes... some people would rather make fun of it, instead of trying to understand. Eh, their loss anyways.

I remember going through exactly the same thing a year ago and what it comes down to is that its easier to make fun of things than to encourage something you don't understand. I got teased A LOT when I joined AOII especially since I had always made fun of sororities before I joined. But there is not a single day that I doubt my decision. Its been one of the best experiences in my life and I hope you find the same thing in AOII. I can't wait for you to become an initiated sister!
