I find it very interesting that my organization through a fit at me for having and writing on a blog about the so called personal life of the organization. Even though some do it as well. There is nothing that is kept private in that organization. Even after a meeting is over I know that sisters will tell there friends, family, and even their significant other the information that was said. How is what I do any different. I also find it interesting that we agreed to stop hurting each other by talking behind their backs. Why is this still happening. Why do I still receive phone calls that the same group of girls are still bashing me. I don’t care that they hate me, right know I feel the same way, but don’t say it around people that are still my friends. I bite my tongue when pledges were asking me questions about the relationships between sisters. Why can’t you do the same. Thanks for the back stabbing. Thanks for the pain that I feel. Thanks for the reassurance that you have no life but to bash people that at one point and time you considered them your friend.
Every woman should get a pap by her OBGYN every year. When you hit twenty and you have not has sex you should getting a pap once a year. If you are sexually active or you are on any form of birth control it is important to see an OBGYN. This is to make sure that everything is working properly. Paps help detect any cancers, yeast infections, and other diseases like STD’s. The common thought is that a pap is very uncomfortable and they are correct. It is not the greatest feeling being scrapped but if will test whether there is something wrong a little bit of discomfort is worth it. If you have not had a pap, go and get one.
A couple of months ago I had some unusual bleeding while I was on my period. I started to bleeding BLACK, which had never happened before, and it scared the shit out of me. I made a appointment with my OBGYN and she told me that this was normal. I thought to myself that I can’t be the only person that has this so I made a helpful chart of all the colors that occur down there.
Colors
Red – Good. The only thing is that if you are bleeding irregularly and having many uncomfortable pains during your period talk to a doctor.
Pink – Good. Every month your uterus dissolves and a little blood will come out (spotting).
Brown – Good. Just means that the blood is drying up.
Black – Good. When you are on birth control, your blood thinks that it is pregnant. Therefore, your uterus will dissolves and follow out of your blood (spotting). When it comes time to have your period normally, your blood will be black because your blood will be getting rid of the left over blood.
Yellow Discharge – Good. Normal.
Green Discharge – SEEK HELP IMMEDIATELY FROM A DOCTOR.
White Discharge – Bad. If your discharge is, white, thick, and has a funny odor than it is a sign of a yeast infections. If you have a yeast infection do to the doctor. If you cannot go to the doctor, eat some yogurt and take a bath.
As much as we do not enjoy rejecting girls from joining our organization, it does happen. In this organization majority rules the vote. So do not think that it was one single person that voted against you. The only thing that you can do is walk away from this experience with your head raised high, the same way you came in. Hopefully, you can still walk away with new friends that would not have had if you didn’t decide to pledge. Remember that what does not kill you makes you stronger, so if you do not get into the sorority it is not the end of the world. It happens with every organization at Cleveland State University. I know what is like to kick out one of my littles. I was the final vote on whether she was in or out. I don’t regret the way I voted in the slightest.
Weekend the great mystery of what truly goes on in a sorority. Today the lambda class is going through their weekend. It is interesting how far the sorority have grown, since I was in the delta class. I love all the planing and the hidden secrets that go into having a productive weekend. I remember each pledge class scared for what is doing to happen and all the sisters laughing because they knew what was going on. Weekend is a time for the pledge to prove to the sister that they are worthy of becoming a sister. I love all the stupid things that we make the pledges do that are all in “clean” fun. I remember my weekend and all the fun that I had, sleeping a one bed with my pledge sisters, and getting hit in the face by on of my sisters while I sleep. I love all points of weekends. I have never missed a weekend since I became a member back in 2004 except now. It makes me sad that I can’t be there to have fun with all my girls. Even though I don’t get along with several of the sisters I still miss that I can’t be there. Every event that I can’t be there for I feel less and less like a sister and more like an outsider. I hate feeling this way. It is the price of growing up and becoming alumni. You lose everything that you worked so hard for. I MISS IT ALL!!!!
So Yesterday, Nov 4, I had to work at the Cleveland Brown’s Stadium and I got see something that made me laugh. I’m not a Browns fan and I never understood how people can get so rapped up in something like sports. There were multiple reasons that this game was interesting. First of all the Browns won a game, and in over-time. The funny thing that I have ever seen was that there was a Sea Hawk fan that was standing right by your booth. He was watching the t.v. for about ten minutes after the game was over. I think he was thinking that if he stared at the t.v. long enough that the score would change. The part that was even funnier was that while he was looking at the t.v. he looked like he was going to cry. After a couple of minutes the fan just started crying and yelling at Browns fans. I was the funniest thing I have ever seen.
Now that I’m alumni it is fun to look back at how the sorority used to be and I wish that it was still like that. I pledged Chi Delta Epsilon when I was 19 years old and it was one of the most exciting times of my life. During my pledging I partied with my sisters and new friends that I had just met. I remember not having a care in the world because I had friends that I could hang-out with. I remember all the girls who were over age would go to Harry Buffalo for $2.00 Long Island Ice Tea with my sisters in the middle of the week for country night. Everyone seemed different as well. During that time everyone acted like friends and at times even more like sisters. You could always count of multiple sisters coming to your aid if you were hurting or in pain. As the years pasted I started to grow-up and the party girl image began to fade and I started to become the mom of the group. Today when I still go to parties I look out for all my girls to make sure they don’t do anything that I did when I was younger. At times I wish that I was still 19. Everything seems simpler.
