Why I Love/Hate Being In Charge Of Rituals For My Chapter
Katie Rogers

Being the person in charge of rituals for your chapter is very rewarding and very stressful. These two feelings come together to make a medley of a very overwhelmed college student. This is why being a guard/ritual chair/warden is the best thing in the world, but also one of the most frustrating.

It's frustrating when people don't think your job is really that important and think that anyone could do it:


You try to tell your sisters that they're not following the exact rules and deal with the after-sass.

Dealing with sisters when they want to give you attitude about following those rules:

When your adviser asks you if you're ready for initiation:

The night before you're hanging out with your friends like:

Right before rituals you talk yourself up like:

And then your executive council tells you that they're ready too:

Then all of your advisers walk into the room and afterward, you're thinking:

And you think that they're going to criticize you on something and start to think:


But then they tell you actually did a great job and you're all like:


But you're boyfriend is still wondering where you've been all week:

It's hard to find the right words to explain to non-Greeks what you do. They don't get it.

And at the end of everything, you just love your sisters and are so happy.

So shout out to you for being the Guard/Ritual/Warden for your chapter! You deserve a nap.

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?
