I quit the process for the sorority. It was a very long week. It has actually just been a very long two weeks.
The wednesday before, the 7th, I was questioned about leaking information regarding the educational process to my friends. So was my friend Malia. We both got warnings since it was our first offense. After that everything continued on like normal.
Well, this past monday, they expelled malia from the process and my friend Ariel, left with her. So, it wa down to four of us. We went on with it and then later, I guess that my friend Vicky came in angry as all hell and confronted the girls. They didnt like that very much and Vicky told them that she didn't want to be associated with teh sorority. They were also picking on my friend Mayra, because supposedly she played a part in all this.
So tuesday, we had a presentation to give after their meeting. It was a long one too...because a lot of the girls showed up to voice their opinions. They must have said something to Mayra because she was crying so hard when we got there. And i guess Vicky gave up her letters that night. Then my friend Ariel wrote a letter expressing her feelings, which they proceeded to rip up. Then our DP( the person incahrge of our process) sat us down ater our presentation to talk about what was going on. Supposedly they had proof about malia giving away infromation on the process...by talking to some of our friends in another fraternity...and those friends discussed our information with their dp...who told his fiancee who is part of teh sorority at the college in colorado springs. The other thing she was doing was sendng e-mails containing information. Then our DP said that Vicky got violent with her the night before and tried to hit her, which is totally unlike vicky. So, then Mayra cam ein and apologized for not being in our session...and the other three girls left were about ot jump down her throat. So, after that our DP read the letter Ariel wrote, well only the parts she wanted to. So after that...I went back ad talked to ariel, mayra, and our friends from the fraternity. We did some research and found out that everything our dp told us was a lie.
So, wednesday...I met with the other 3 girls and they asked me what I thoughht of ariel's letter. They were all apaled and disrespected...even though teh letter wasnt directed towards them at all. So, I told them I thought she handled it very well and professionally. Then they started ganging up on me. I also told them that I was having mixed feelings about teh soroity and that Mayra, Ariel, and Vicky knew about it. They got mad that I went ot the girls I would consider my sisters first before the 3 of them who were going to be my sisters. They wanted to knwo why I went to the others before them and that I wasnt supposed ot be doing that anyway...blah blah blah. So we had session and stuff that night and they kept talking about sisterhood and how it is a strong bond. They also said sisterhood is greater than friendship and that it is something we would treasure. I sat there thinking, I could not build a sisterhood with the 3 girls left. I just knew in my heart that it wasn't going ot happen. I also thought that if something was really bad, I knew I could rely on my friends, Vicky, mayra, Ariel, Malia, Arturo, Michael, Will, Amy and Devon before I could count on the girls in teh sorority. Also, they were out ot get me....why be a part of an organization that doesn't want you. that night I knew that I had to make a decision.
Thursday, I decided that right now, the sorority was not the right thing for me. I did not want ot be manipulated and lied to and I did not want to become the person that lies and manipulates others to get them to believe stuff. I also decided that if they were looking for ways to kick me out, they didn't want me in the first place. which made me wonder because I thought I was a good person and that any organization would consider me an asset. I guess not. I consulted Vicky, Ariel and my Mom and then I called the dp. She sounded mad, but whatever. I just told her that I felt the way I did with drama senior year...that it was more a chore, a burden, then something I wanted to do that made me happy. Also, that my academics are everything ot me and without them I am nothing, so at this point in time, I am nothing because my performance is not what it shoudl be. Then I felt free. I told the girls, who sounded mad, even though they had promised me they would support me in my decision (I mean the 3 that I was left with).
So, nwo my life can return to normal. I can concentrate on school, my friends, and having fun. Thank god I am on spring break right now!
