Travel Fever and Other Assorted Stories: Entry Three

So the story has been told numerous times: same basic storyline, a different cast of characters to tell the story & naturally enough differing interpretations of what the whole story's about. But the real kicker is that the real identities of each storyteller cannot emerge until the tale has ended once & for all.

When it comes to sorority recruitment & one disaffiliates from the whole scene for a good month, the situation is no different. Each year, a certain number of women do exactly that as they show incoming freshmen (along with those ladies who chose not to go through Recruitment week during their freshman year) the ropes on not only sorority life but Greek life in general. At this point, an important, insightful word of advice must be made:

Note to self, duders, don't go running & telling which sororities these women belong to!! You know whom they represent, but when it comes to their status as Pi Chis, guys, it's a whole new thing: you can't go popping off at the mouth that she's from this sorority or that sorority until Recruitment is officially over & done with. Like the real identity of the storyteller that doesn't get revealed until the tale has finally been told in full, so the sororities whom these ladies are proud to represent must remain secret until the last actual day of Sorority Recruitment. Up to that point, duders can't go "run & tell." Not only is the idea of "running & telling" just wrong but also a plain insult to the Pi Chis as well.

Getting back to the matter at hand. Pi Chis, disaffiliated from their respective sororities for a month, have an important task to deal with in addressing the aspects of sorority life to the above groups whom I mentioned in the second paragraph as well as helping them along as best they can when it comes to certain pressing questions which naturally are going to be asked from time to time. And yet it doesn't hurt to offer them our support & wish them the best of luck during the next several weeks or so; I'm sure they'd love it if duders actually followed both suggestions to the letter. I know I am offering my support & wishing Pi Chis the best of luck for sure. And to close things off accordingly:

Fire up!!
