Tina: Really? Something you would like to share?
Bette: I told you about the drive-in movies.
Tina: We will talk later, right?
Bette blushed: Of course.
Angie: Sounds like Mom had a few make out sessions in that car.
Bette: Possibly. I bet Mama T had some as well.
Tina: Possibly? Angie, the answer is yes, I did have a few make out sessions in The Hulk. And the likelihood is Mama B had some in her car as well. It’s a part of growing up, at least it was then.
Bette: Why don’t we all get back to work and discuss this another time. You need to take your practice test and I need to research cars. Tina what are you working on?
Tina: I was looking at Daniel’s research on schools. He’s got some good candidates for high school and middle school. So, I’m looking at the elementary schools. Now you know he would be in the sixth grade in New York, but his chronological age puts him in the fifth grade. Do you think that’s going to be a problem? I don’t want to put him in a situation where he is going to be bullied by a bunch of older boys.
Bette: I think physically he is about the same size as 6th graders. He a little taller than most 5th graders. And if he is up to the academic levels, then I see no problem with going on with 6th grade.
Then Daniel came through to get himself a drink.
Tina: Daniel? How do you feel about being in class with girls and boys who are all older than you?
Daniel: Mom, I’m going to be the new kid in my class whether I am in the 5th grade or the 6th grade. So, there is going to be a possibility that some will want to bully me no matter what. But I’m tall and fairly athletic. I have studied all the things they list on the curriculum for 5th graders, so why would I want to repeat that course of study? Frankly, if I could, I’d love just to go on to the 7th grade. But I think it would be best to go to the sixth grade and get use to the culture in California. There is a lot more diversity of culture here that does not exist at my school in New York. Most of the schools have a large proportion Hispanic population. So, if we are going to live in California, I need to experience that. And since the 6th graders are the top of totem pole, it will be easier to make friends. I think that academically, I will be able to compete successfully. So, I think it will be fine. I just hope they let me in the 6th grade, otherwise I am going to really be bored with school.

Love all the details!
Didn’t know anything about going to university and the different college houses, after reading it i would advise Angie not to join one of them. Find her own way and make her own friends, not ones who hold standards and where you can’t be yourself.
Bette, Tina, Angie and Daniel are in for a ride with all these changes in their life.
Look forward to read more!
Bibi,
Thank you for reading…. this is strictly a personal opinion on the role of sororities and fraternities – to belong to the right group and meet and know the right people. If it were not that way, they would not discriminate who should be a member and who shouldn’t. I’m sure others have their own view which would contradict mine. Such as the way life is…
My hopes in this story is to show Bette and Tina going through some normal life decisions and relationships. It is not a story of high drama…. but I am in hopes that sometime, the everyday things can cause the everyday requirement to connect and communicated with your spouse and family. I do go into some detail in Bette and Tina’s communication with Angie and later with Daniel as well as each other. I hope that the reader will see how these two create and maintain the solid relationship they have which will carry on for a life time. This will not appeal to a whole lot of people…. but I hope that when you go through these next few months with Bette and Tina, you will know them as I do.
This is a long story…. but it is complete and ready to post. Let me know the frequency you would like for me post and I will keep it coming…. Thank you for reading…
I am very proud of you for completing your story. I think k it’s nice to see them going through real life. I hope to get back in the game when I am well enough. Congratulations on your story.
Thank you for your explanation about your intentions of this story.
About the frequency of you posting, it really doesn’t matter for me, i work in the weekend every other week and then free on Thursday and Friday but i work early and late shifts. Post whenever you want and i try to read it if i have time, i promise i will read it.
I like the story. This chapter of course is your opinion. Having been to college and being a member of a sorority, I differ in my opinion of college. It’s not ALL ABOUT Greek life. They are not discriminatory. There’s also other facets of college life that make it some of the best years of a person’s life. I made life long friends, both Greek and non-Greek that made my college experience a great one. There’s a balance and all sorts of things that I feel you didn’t touch on in the explanation to Angelica. However, it’s your story and your opinion, your version. I will continue to read because you’re a great writer. I just felt this chapter was unbalanced.
Trecelovinit…. Thank you for reading…. First, I must say, this is the first of several conversation Bette and Tina will be having with Angie about college life. They will leave it up to Angie to decide if you wants to get into Greek life or not. With the continuing conversations they will have, I hope you will see there is a continuing theme in that Angie is totally in control of her life at college. That includes who she associates with, what organizations she decides to belong to, what she studies and how she spends her free time.
I think I have a different definition of discrimination. I mean to determine who should be a member and who shouldn’t on whatever basis that happens. It could be based on personality, on appearance, on social contacts or family contacts, or course of study or some other criteria which is totally not apparent to those who are being chosen versus those who are not. For everyone who desires to be a member does not get an invitation to be a member. So someone is discriminating against those they do not wish to extend an invitation in favor of those they wish to extend an invitation. And that criteria may have nothing to with color, race, religion, gender identification, sexual orientation, political persuasion or country of origin. But the process is discriminatory in that each house have a limited number of members. Sororities and Fraternities are social organizations based upon knowing the right people to enhance you college life and your post college life.
Yes, I am probably not presenting a balance picture… but I’m not sure that I am capable of presenting a more balance picture. This is my Bette and Tina’s view based upon their own experiences. And believe it or not, they are desperately trying to allow Angie to make up her own mind about college life when she goes off to experience it. But they do want her to see that with every benefit, there are cost. And please remember, both Tina and Bette attended college some 35 years ago. Life has changed in that period… Their experiences are not going to be the same as Angie’s experiences will be.
Thank you for your comment…
Thank you for your response. I do appreciate your perspective and responding to me. I do love the story and as I stated previously, I think your writing is great. I will continue to read. I do respect and did state that it’s your opinion and your story. I agree their time in college was 35 years ago. Honestly, it’s been 30 years for me. Things definitely do change and I appreciate different perspectives. Thank you for writing.
