Initiation

We made it boys

By now if you have no idea that I rushed and joined a sorority, I don't know what rock you've been living under. But like even then it's not like you were supposed to know. Haha I'm definitely kidding. But anyway, we made it boys. It's time to be a frat sister. Now I know what you're thinking, a frat sister? Yes sir, I'm in a frat. In case you didn't know Pi Beta Phi is the number one frat star in the world. Pi Beta Phi has the honor of being the first national women's fraternity based off the letters and institution of a male's fraternity. Okay but like I'm not here to school you on the history of Pi Pho but I could.

Anyway, onto today's annoying story about "finally finding my home" and knowing that this is the place that I will fit in and belong for rest of my time at MSU. Or better yet, "my future bridesmaids". You've probably heard all these things, and hearing it once more won't hurt.

Here we are sitting and getting onto the final festivities of the steps to finally being a sister. Let me set the mood; about 50 or some girls sitting around in the basement of their sorority house waiting to hear their name called so that they can go upstairs to get their new arrow pin and take the vows the first members of Pi Phi created for them and their future members so that they can be the beautiful women that God created them to be. Girls leave two by two, never to be seen again. I'm kidding, they're just new women now hanging out in the dormer with their new statuses as sisters. Just like the others, I'm sitting here doing homework while I wait for my name to be called and walk up there and take the vows I signed up for.

I start to hear the tap-tap of the heels of the Executive Council's member's coming down to call the next two people, not knowing who is next or who is last. Then I hear it, "Rohitha Rajasekar". This is it, it's my turn. I gather all my things and gently walk upstairs, not wanting to trip over my dress and air (yeah, I'm clumsy like that). I put my stuff down and fix myself as I walk in with my friend waiting to be initiated into the house where it all starts. We get in formation and follow the EC member in and are led in front of the chapter president, where she reads us the promises in which we take upon in our daily lives. And before you know it, she's done reading to us and we are pinned with our new pins and wine and blue ribbon and given a carnation and sent on our way. And just like that we are officially official.

I love being a Pi Phi angel.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

Power of Love Letters

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
