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.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
