The other day I'm with some people playing Basketball at the gym. Some time goes by, and a few guys leave, but me and Pat move to the other gym and join a group of guys playing a game. We have a few good games, especially the ones where I was sticking a guy twice my size. He seemed impressed by it, almost like no one's ever tried. Anyway, I find these guys are part of the Frat Sigma Nu. Now, those of you who know me know that I can care less about fraternities or college groups or shit like that. I let'em know that too. I knew a few guys part of it, like my suitemate Dave, but everyone else not so much.
One guy Chris tells me about the fraternity, what they're normally up to, and the brotherhood and what not; nothing I already didn't know. I passed it off and kept playin games until I realized how much they were growing on me. I can't even explain it, I liked the feel of the group. I'm already pretty chill with a few people there. They told me about a party they were having that night. I went by and it was probably one of the best decisions I've ever made. To this day I know I'm not the fraternity type, but it wasn't just a fraternity, more like a brotherhood? idk, in any case, meeting all the people there an partyin with them was a good time.
They next invited me to the football game they were having the next morning...at NOON. I'm don't wake up before 3 on a saturday. Fuck that I thought, but I ended up going anyway. Downed a few red bulls and played a pretty good game which of course, my team won. I somehow ended up at a interview. It was 5 minutes and I figured I had nothing really to lose. The interview went alright. I didn't try an sugarcoat shit like I used to, I told them who I was and who I wasn't and they seemed fine with it. As I walked back to my dorm I kept thinking to myself, "Nathan Johnson? In Sigma Nu??...strange". A part of me hopes I get in, despite how I feel about the idea. The other part doesn't really wanna change anything, and just keep chillin an knowing the people I do now. Idk, I guess we'll see soon.
