Postscript:
Molly did not ever get a bid. Here's where Stan Marsh would say "I learned something today." When she first went through rush with her roommate (who she was sometimes on good terms with, sometimes not), they both actually liked
Ups & Downs the best. If Molly would have just listened to her heart and gone for it, she probably would have gotten a bid from them, and fit in perfectly and had a great time being Greek. Instead she listened to EVERYONE who was in her ear telling her what they could do for her or what she should do. Rushees: don't do this!!! Even if it's a family member or longtime friend and their advice is out of love, DON'T LISTEN TO THEM. Think about what
you have learned in
your experience. Go with your heart and your gut. She got involved in other things on campus outside of the Greek system. We did stay friends, but we weren't as close as we had been previously.
The pretty girl I'd seen in the business building became my big. And
Blair was my 3 big!!
One night a few weeks later
Nancy and I were both in the study room on our wing talking about how pledging was going. She said while she still liked the girls in
Ups & Downs, they were kind of pressuring her to drink more than she felt comfortable with and giving her a hassle about her plans to live off-campus with a member of
Merry Go Round the next semester. This just confirmed to me that I had absolutely made the right decision.
Tootie and I got to be better friends our senior year when we were both hanging out a lot at
George Clooney. She is still a dear friend of mine and was one of the people who helped everyone in the Greek system reunite all these years later.
For a while I was a fan of
Christopher Atkins and there was even the period of hanging out with
Matt Dillon, but my ultimate faves are
George Clooney. And like Clooney himself, they started out hot and have only amped up the hot as they aged.
And a few weeks ago, I spent a weekend at the beach with members of
Foxmoor,
Susie's Casuals and
Ormond. The letters we wore weren't as important as the shared experiences we had had at our college. I think it happens like this at most small schools - especially when everyone starts hanging out together at the same bars senior year.
It really is true that "no matter the letter, we're all Greek together."
I enjoyed rush, fer shurrr.
