I remember now why advisors are a major pain in the ass...

Ironic isn't it? Advisors are supposed to be there to help you... to ADVISE you... not to make your life more difficult.

Honestly, the thing they're "advising" us on is such bull too. According to them, Panhellenic is encouraging a blanket ban on terms like "rush", "party", and "frat" and that instead, we should be replacing them with "recruitment", "event", and "fraternity". Do you know how ridiculously idiotic this all is?

First off... OUR Panhellenic doesn't give a rat's ass about what words we use... they've never said anything to us mostly because they think it's bull too. Just because you change the name of something doesn't mean it suddenly makes some preconceived social stereotype about the Greek system go away. And now all of a sudden our advisors come telling us that we need to change the way we talk about RUSH. Yeah well fuck that. I'm going to keep calling it Rush. Because that's the way it should be. Parties will always be parties and frats will always be frats.

For once The House is united on this issue. Even Miss Socially Awkward thinks this is complete crap and she usually sides with our advisors on their stupid ideas. And believe you me, they're full of them. I've come to the conclusion that while we can have really cool alums, even famous alums like A-List Actress, volunteers like advisors and such are virtually all comprised of Past Awkwards who have decided they want to wreak havoc on college life for all of the rest of us. And because they have nothing else going on in their lives now because they are all Awkward. Still. Seriously, the three main Chapter Advisors live together with cats. I'm not even making that up, they're the Crazy Cat Ladies. For the most part, they let us alone, but there are always a few times during the year when they come drive us crazy... generally during Fall Semester... no wonder I hate fall so much. They're here during RUSH, Alum events and sometimes during HELL WEEK for the PLEDGES to make sure we're not making them stand in a closet holding up gallons of milk or some stupid shit like that that FRATS do.

So many politically incorrect terms, so little time to use them.
