Well, I'm sitting here in the Pi Phi house waiting for rush to get started once again. I thought that this was going to be another grueling year of hating my life because I'm dripping sweat while still having to put on a fake smile and have a thousand useless conversations. However, I am pleasantly surprised that rush has turned into a bonding experience for my sisters and I. I guess it was the same last year, but I was just too lost in my bad attitude to realize what I was missing. I have gotten a lot closer to my roommate and a lot of the other girls in my sorority, especially the younger ones. Even though rush isn't the be all and end all of my life like it is for some people, it's definitely cool to see 150 girls coming together for a common purpose and uniting in the sisterhood that we advertise to the potential new members. I never thought I would be the person saying this about rush, but I am, and that makes me happy. I came into this year wanting to have a better attitude about life in general, and that good attitude has made me see things in a different light. Wow, this entry is really cheesy, but the thing is that it's true. I feel right now that I have 150 friends in my sorority that really care about me and I like that. So many people think that sororities buy your friends. That's not true. Just like any club, there are dues that you have to pay to be in the club, but paying that money doesn't make you friends. It's working together on stuff like rush and fundraisers and everything else that goes into making a sorority work that makes us come together and become friends. For the first time in my three years of college, I can honestly say that I am so excited to be a Pi Phi and that I am so proud of our sorority and I consider it not only the best at Ole Miss, but the best in the nation. There is no one going through rush that shouldn't wish they were a Pi Phi, and I really mean that from the bottom of my heart.
