Life Choices

It's been a while I know, sorry for all you Stacy's Blog groupies...wait...I don't have any? Damn.

Anywho, a lot has happened. I don't know about anywhere else, but here at Allegheny we categorize everything into life choices. Often times they are poor life choices. Taking the grass instead of the sidewalk and ending up covered in mud, playing a game or going out instead of studying, blogging for the first time in two months instead of doing your ridiculous FS project (how dare you accuse me!!!) but you get the point. Second semester has been filled with all sorts of decisions for me...life decisions. Should I do this? Should I join this? Should I apply for this?

One choice however stands out above the rest. It was a huge decision that I had to make immediately upon getting back, even before diving into my classes even. This single decision however has turned into the greatest life decision of my college career, to date and most likely through the next three years. That choice was to join Allegheny College's Mu chapter of Kappa Alpha Theta sorority.

I don't really care about your opinion of the collegiate Greek system...that you buy friends or it's just a bunch of hos coming together to get drunk all the time. Theta is different (as well as Allegheny Greeks in general.) I now have this great new circle of people who know me and share things with me. A whole new realm of opportunities has opened up. I can't enter a room without someone saying hello.

It's all hard to explain, but it all truly came out last night as I was dragged out to a mixer with one of the fraternities. It was great. I knew everyone and it was an exciting experience. Beyond that, I went to a fraternity hosted dance party, which I vowed never to do. But it was all made better by the fact that I was with about ten other girls who were vowing to stick together and create our own party at the party. From there came the best part, being able to just have fun as huge beautiful snowflakes soaked us to the bone. Snow angels in senior circle. Wrestling and laughing. It was simply amazing and all came to be the best night of my freshman year.

So I don't care what people want to say about me being in a sorority. When you can run across campus through the great hours of the night laughing and yelling out the apple bottom jeans song, completely comfortable and happy...that is a moment when you know you have found your place. I hope I have many more of these moments, and I am sure I will. For now, I am entirely content with it all.

Now about that project...
