Chapter 1 – List and More List
Tina: Well, your Aunt Helena and Aunt Dylan made that happen. I’m glad you enjoyed it. Now you know that when you go away to school, there are going to be far more opportunities for you to go dancing or go to a party. You might even go with a date or you might go with a group of friends. Of course, there is going to be the traditional Rush week where you may get invitations to attend parties at the sororities and the fraternities. Do you know about Rush Week?
Angie: Oh, yea. That is when the fraternities and sororities have drop in parties for the new freshman so they can decide who they would like to invite to join their groups. The parties are an opportunity to introduce yourself to the members. But from what I heard there is a lot of drinking that goes on.
Tina: That is true of a large number of them. There is usually a pre-screening process at the registration hall. Each Greek house sets up their table and people who are interesting get an invitation to their party. Those who they are not interested in, get a nice smile and a reference to another house. Those parties are a little later in the week and you need your invitation to get in. In my day, there was very little difference between the open invitation and by invitation only parties. There was always a group of smiling girls who greeted the guest and they were generally the ones who decided who was acceptable and who wasn’t. They would then invite the acceptable ones to a tea or a more formal party to meet the alumni and the members of the group. This was the interview process and from that group of potential girls, they would determine who they would extend invitations to be a member. Then it is up to each individual whether to accept or not.
Angie: Were you a member of a sorority?
Tina: Yes, but by early spring, I resigned. They just were not in school for the same purpose that I was. And they had so many rules! But it was the unwritten rules that got to me. They were always making snide remarks about people I hung out with who were not in the approved sorority or fraternity. I was casting a bad shadow on their tradition and position in the world. So, I thought that I should be the one who determined who my friends and associates would be, so I quit.
