I can't believe I got a bid for Tau Beta Sigma. I was really worried that I wouldn't get accepted (several of the people at the social had tried the previous semester and not been accepted) or that it wouldn't work out through some other fluke. Not only that, but I got a bid for Kappa Kappa Psi. I never imaged that both of them would want me to join!
So, I'm joining TBS. I think I mesh better with that group than the KKY people. It's ironic. I remember orientation, on the last day. I was with my dad, and we went to the SUMC ballroom to see the different clubs and organizations. I was wandering around; I had expressed interest in a sorority to my dad (not that I'd ever really imagined becoming the cliche "sorority girl"), and I was therefore looking to see if anything seemed interesting. I had just stopped at what I remember to be the Pride Alliance table, and I was walking over to the SPRITE table. My dad stopped me.
"Caitlin, you'll never be accepted into a sorority if they see you at that table."
"What!? That's ridiculous! I'm bi! It's a cause I believe in!"
"I know, but it's true."
And so I walked away.
Yet, here I am. I'm a member of SPRITE. I'm out to just about everyone on campus who knows me. My girlfriend is the president of SPRITE. And the president of TBS? Jen's childhood friend. Of course she knows I'm with Jen! Quite frankly, she probably doesn't know that I'm not a lesbian. Yet, here I am. I'm joining TBS. Guess who didn't judge?
