Bago Trips.
The Pageant Princess and I were discussing the flurry of emails we've gotten in the last few days about the football season Winnebago trips the frats are all starting to plan. They're all trying to one up each other to get us to go. We've gotten personalized emails from various frat social chairs and promises of kegs, grills, and our own beds. We're def A-listers. They want us to be on their decks for home games and in their bagos for road trips. Not to mention it's great PR for The House. We always get lots of bago trip invites among other trips. I imagine there will be a bunch of ski/board trips we'll go on this year too. The frats are all trying to outdo each other with cool weekend trips and such.
And aside from house PR, it's kind of important to be on these bago trips since lots of frats start recruiting for their dream girls/sweethearts/etc. on these things and it's all about getting the largest number of bros to like you the most. I just as good as had that title for The Mansion, but that's not happening since I broke up with The Guitar Hero. Bros before hos, right? They're all pretty much not speaking to me right now, but from what I hear through sisters from The House, none of them dislike me... they're just acting like it out of respect for The Guitar Hero. Which means I'll need to find some houses to focus on if I want to be a Dream Girl/Sweetheart/etc. Probably means I should start working on my kegstands. I used to be able to kegstand on my own without support (thank you, 10 years of gymnastics/dance) but I bet I can't do that now. I need to get back into shape.
In other news, now that I'm on Panhellenic, I'm now not allowed to recruit during Fall Rush. Also, The Pageant Princess is out too since she's on Panhell as well. This would normally worry the fuck out of me because we have a lot of influence, but I'm fairly positive The Sorority Prodigy will step up.
Honestly Panhell needs to get their heads out of their asses. Every sorority dirty rushes. It's just the way the system works. Also, making us move out of our houses and into a hotel does not make it any less obvious what house we're in. I hate this goddamn system. Why can't we just be like frats and COB our pledges. Although I will say this... at our regional conference, we heard that some schools' panhells guarantee bids to ALL rushees... FUCK THAT SHIT. I mean at least at ours we have a decent pool of rushees... The Tinkerballerina was telling me about this time when she went to The Dancers' International conference and apparently some schools definitely have suckier pools to choose from. Another chapter of The Dancers had some shit where like girls would rush and pledge but drop like flies throughout pledging when they decided it wasn't for them. That absolutely sucks 'cause then your numbers drop like hell and I bet International would be riding your ass.
They say to be thankful for what you have. I'm thankful our Panhell doesn't guarantee bids.

There's a reason why they call it PanHELL.
Honestly Panhellenic meetings are chaos at times. The Panhell President is from The Debutantes and she, The Pageant Princess as VP Membership, and I are generally all on the same page about things, which is totally important since we are at the top of the food chain. But the Director of Programming is from The Barbie's Whorehouse and honestly I've never wanted to strangle someone so badly. She is just so hoity toity and thinks she's better than everyone else.
We had an emergency Panhell debriefing today over an IFC issue from the weekend... which only served to make my Monday nights even longer than usual. Apparently some of the bros over at The Freemason Fraternity (their nickname since they're basically all elitists and super secretive) just got busted by the cops for some drug dealing and now their entire chapter might lose their charter with the university and those guys might just get kicked out entirely. There were news vans all over the place since it was a pretty big bust apparently. We've been doing our part to minimize bad press.
In any case, The Director of Programming aka The Elitist Bitch is in a pretty serious relationship with one of the bros at The Freemason Fraternity (surprise surprise) and she kept going off about how dealing drugs wasn't SO bad and how a little Xanax never hurt anybody. Not to mention crack and meth and probably a little X thrown in there. Everyone else took it pretty seriously but she just kept whining and whining and asking stupid questions about why we were even being called in for an emergency meeting. The whole point is so we can get together and unite as a community against all the undoubtedly shitty press that will come our way. It's like when the local news has nothing better to report, they'll report about some alleged hazing incident or something which is completely ridiculous. I could offhand and completely jokingly say that we make our pledges strip naked and pray to the moon goddess while covered in chocolate syrup and who knows, fucking 60 minutes would do a special report about the hazing rituals and how being covered in melted chocolate would like kill you or something. And then advertise some foundation of like people who died while being hazed or some shit with some "be aware: chocolate syrup can kill" campaign. Puhleeze. Give me a freaking break. As if hazing doesn't exist in firehouses around the country and in other forces where real shit could go down.
Honestly, I wonder sometimes if The Elitist Bitch gets illegal prescription drugs. If she does, she needs more to tone down her whining and her unbelievably annoying voice which is pitched like to the absolutely most hideous tone in the world. I'd rather listen to nails on a chalkboard.
During the chapter presidents' and chapter panhellenic delegates' debriefing directly after our debriefing, it turned into more craziness since some of them were concerned about what was going to happen with the investigation. Apparently there might be a pill problem going on, which is going to cause even MORE problems. There were whispers of needing to get lawyers in case they were implicated. It got pretty serious, which just made everything like 15x worse for us in leadership because if this gets out, shit will really hit the fan.
I know for a fact that The Rockette (our president... play on words since she's on the school dance team and she's a nuclear engineering major and probably going to be a rocket scientist) takes Adderall when she needs to pull through shit, but I'm pretty sure she gets it from her little brother who has ADHD. We can't lose her because she kicks ass at being president and pretty much rocks everything she touches. I honestly don't know how she does it with all of the classes and research that she does.
I need to go lie down and take some aspirin for the building migraine.

Hello Hump Day!
It's been a while! I ran out of time at the end of the semester what with brutal finals... and then I just didn't feel like posting during my European Christmas vaca. Things have been relatively quiet in terms of family drama and whatnot. It's been a nice break... traveled all over but the highlights were definitely hitting Dublin, London, and Paris... possibly my three favorite European destinations. Met up with The Daddy's Girl from The House and we definitely hit the bars and met hot European men. It got a little interesting with this Irish guy I met at the Guinness brewery who wanted to take me out for New Year's. Nothing happened with The Guinness Guy (though I imagine it could have) but The Guitar Hero is happy to have me back in the States. Things are alright with him... we'll see how things go this semester. The Guinness Guy has been keeping in touch through e-mail and video chatting and I'm sure if and when The Guitar Hero finds out... it won't be good news.
I'm back in The House now... moved back in on Monday to uncover the sheets covering my furniture and dusted my room. I'm ready for another semester to begin. Sort of. Our newly initiated class is settling in and some of them have opted to move in. It'll be interesting. I'm keeping my room since I've been around and involved and whatnot. In fact this year, I opted to take less of a role in internal House politics (although don't let that fool you... I still have a lot of clout). Instead, I've been elected to Panhellenic as the Vice President of Sorority Affairs.. which means I get to go to Panhell meetings, IFC/Panhell joint meetings, and the occasional university senate meeting. They wanted to push me into being VP Membership, which would have meant ridiculous amounts of stress leading up to rush and dealing with bitchy girls from each house who are heads of rush in their own respective houses. Yeah right. I much prefer having hidden power. In any case, The Social Chair... who is actually no longer the social chair, has decided to take up VP M. Which works out great since we agree on basically everything.
Fraternity Rush Week is coming up and I've already gotten all the Facebook group and event invites. If this were Hollywood, a bunch of The House girls are definitely considered A-List and desirables at rush parties since the number of hot girls and booze at a party is directly correlated with how successful and how picky a frat can be in terms of selecting its pledges. The Guitar Hero wants me to stay at The Mansion by his side and really... he needs a reality check. Staying on the A-List means going to all the A-List parties, dropping some flirtations here and there, and remaining desirable.
Anyway... time to get ready for the Hump Day Bar Crawl...
