I have been hanging out with this fraternity since I got here. Really nice, enjoyable people. They kind of take the middle ground between party and academics, which is what I have been looking for. There is one that is literally having a party, and therefore getting raided, every single night. THAT frat has shopping carts in the front yard to throw your beer cans in. Ever seen Animal House? But I am definitely going to rush and pledge to the one I am currently talking to.

I went to one of their parties today. Lots of good people, they played beer pong but I was just hanging around smoking cigs. Two freshman have already gotten underage charges before classes even start. All stories I've heard tell me how they always crack down hard as hell before classes start as a scare tactic, and then only the pike house gets raided after classes begin.(the pike house being the frat with the shopping carts lol)

If you remember me from way back when, and god forbid, the picture I discovered I had put on my profile here years ago before removing it upon my return, then you know how insane it is for me to be affiliated with a frat, much less joining one.

I am settled in well. I have a microwave, george foreman grill, fridge, towels, dish towels, washing towels, and ungodly amounts of food that my family bought me and has promised to continue buying me. I can't believe I have room for it all, an eight by ten cell doesn't have much on this dorm lol. But I love it. My books(my collection, not just required) and a coffee maker. The coffee maker has become my best friend already.

I can't describe how accepting and just plain caring all the students are here. I walk down the hall, and people that I have never met pull me off to the side to speak to me, just because they want me to experience the collegiate world as they have. It's beautiful.
