I look nothing like a sorority girl.
I may have the height, but that’s it. I’m not exactly poised or coordinated or anything that makes you think “pageant.”
I love Pokemon and hate the color pink. Group photos make me nauseated, and fundraising sounds like too much work.
“The House Bunny” was all I knew about sororities; that, and the ones at Chico State, who sort of avoid my presence like the plague.
There was this one time that I was going to the ATM near the Bell Memorial Union, and three sorority girls walked past me looking ever-so-serious bitchy. Of course, I stood my ground forcing them to make a way for me. I didn’t care who they were. I was just as important, even if I was a non-Greek GDI (God Damn Independent).
Then I joined a sorority. No, I was shocked too.
But this is no ordinary sorority. It’s filled with hilarious, goofy women who are entertained by my antics.
It’s like a home for women who are talented and beautiful all in their own right.
Then it hit me. The saying “different strokes for different folks” began to make sense.
So maybe I didn’t fit in with girls from other sororities. Maybe this was “The House Bunny” and I was a part of my own special Zeta Alpha Zeta.
These girls love Pokemon, and lucky for me, our color is red.
Maybe I was a sorority girl all along, regardless of looks.
I just wish I had sorority girl money to pay my dues.
