Chapter meetings are arguably one of my favorite activities of the week.
I get to see all my sisters on a Sunday evening after a long week of classes, activities, and events.
While chapter is undoubtedly a good way to see your sisters, some weeks you just plain don't want to go. Here is a string of thoughts that we all go through while sitting through a chapter meeting.
"I wish I didn't have to shave my legs for this."
"Dang it, where's my badge?"
"Okay, got it. Oh my god, gonna be late."
"Made it. Oh good, there aren't a lot of people here yet."
"Okay people, it's two minutes to start where are y'all at?"
"[Insert Marshall's name here], just wait, I have to send one more snap."
"Did I forget my planner? Are you serious?"
"Oh wait, here it is, under my sweatpants."
"Shoot, I took too long getting my planner out and I missed what the President just said. Awesome."
"Whatever, it will be in the minutes."
"Wait what are we passing around?"
"Oh, we just have to sign it. Okay."
"I wish the two people in front of me would shut up. Where's the Marshall when you need her?"
"Okay, who is even talking right now? Let's speak up."
"Oh crap I really need to log my study hours."
"And my service hours."
"And my philanthropy hours."
"It's only been 20 minutes I can't go on."
"Wait, what date is that sisterhood on? It sounds fun."
"Oh wait, I have night class. GREAT."
"Oh it's my turn to talk."
"Wow I sounded stupid. I think I stuttered like 17 times."
"Oh my god she's talking so fast I can't write all of this down."
"Oh, service opportunity. How many service hours do I have again?"
"I guess I don't really neeeeed more service hours... but I should go, right?"
"I do have an exam that week. Maybe I won't go."
"Oh wait, she's going. If I went I bet it'd be fun."
"Okay, I'll sign up."
"Did I just hear there's a joint social next Saturday? Yessss turn up."
"Oh, it's a dry social."
"Is it mean if I think this event sounds stupid?"
"No one's going to sign up."
"We're voting on bylaws now? I didn't even get to read them."
"Did she just say mandatory event? I have work."
"Maybe if I find someone to cover for me I can go."
"But what's more important, sorority or money?"
"I mean, if I go make money I can continue to afford being in this sorority. It all comes full circle."
"Oh my gosh why does every single person have a question right now?"
"She literally just answered that, please pay attention."
"I swear these meetings wouldn't take this long if people would just pay attention."
"Oh no, the president is scolding us. What did we do?"
"She disappointed in the behavior at an event?"
"Okay this doesn't even involve me, I wasn't even there."
"Just sit here looking somber."
"I wish I could check my phone."
"Oh my gosh we're almost done."
"How many announcements could we possibly have?"
"I wonder if anyone wants to get food after this."
"SHE'S LETTING US GO EARLY PRAISE GOD."
