It's a love story, baby just say yes

I feel like SHIT. I hate allergies. In my opinion allergies are worse than being sick because no one really feels bad for you when you have allergies and they don't understand. I feel just as bad as if I were sick and contagious. I slept 'til noon today and Amber even told me during our conference call that I sounded like crap. Thanks. I'm miserable. Ugh. 

Other than allergies I'm great though! I am having a lot of fun at this chapter and the girls keep telling me that they don't want me to leave. Last night I had a panty scrubbing party with Pam and Melissa (it's not nearly as awkward as it sounds). I did have an awkward moment today though, and I don't usually feel awkward. One of the ladies in the chapter approached me and informed me of a certain stench coming from one of the other women in the chapter and asked me if I could address the issue. Are you kidding me?? So today before our preference party I passed around some packets of vagisil wipes to the ladies and told them that rather than confronting anyone in particular, we were all going to make sure we didn't have stinky vaginas before recruitment started. They all laughed, thank goodness, but can I tell you how weird it is to be lined up in the bathroom with a bunch of your sisters, waiting for an empty stall knowing that the girl in there is cleansing her vagina? AWKWARD. 

Anyway, last night with Melissa and Pam was a lot of fun. The two of them and Andrea are my favorites here. And Blair too. Tonight after recruitment we all went out to eat in our pretty pref dresses. It was a lot of fun. I'm glad that I'm enjoying my visit here so much. I had fun at Delta Nu-A and Rogers State, but not like this. It might be because I've been here for 8 days and am still not leaving for another two. Maybe the length of the visit makes a difference. Well, I don't know. I think if I had been at Rogers State for 10 days then I would have been unhappy for 10 days. I like it here. Psi Psi is still my favorite though. I think they'll always be. Oh, I also made the ladies cry tonight. I gave a little ASA testimonial tonight and a few of the girls definitely cried the first time they heard it. It was cute. 

After this I'm going to Alabama. I know nothing about Alabama except that their president has quite the accent. I love it. A PNM at recruitment tonight did tell me that sororities are a really big deal there and that they have new member classes of like 100 girls. Hot damn. I don't think I'm going to be there for their recruitment though, thank goodness. This was overwhelming enough for me. After Alabama I'm going to Arkansas and I'm really excited about that. There's nothing great about Arkansas in particular but Krystal is driving up to stay with me while I'm visiting there! I'm so excited. I'm only there like 4 days then she and I are driving back down to Louisiana for my second visit to Psi Psi. I am so excited to go back there! I miss those ladies like crazy! And I can't wait to meet all the new ladies they have. Whitney (the president) texted me tonight and said that they extended another bid, so that'll make 10 new ladies!! How effing awesome is that? I'm so proud of them! Luckily Beta Theta hasn't gotten tired of me talking about them. They just kind of accept it and are really supportive of them. And when my phone rings Melissa is always like "Oh, is that Krystal?" It makes me laugh. 

I dyed my hair today and I love it. I really wish I could just get my hair to stay this color but it always effing fades back to that light brown color. Pain in my ass. Anyway, I've got some pictures of me and the ladies here that I want to put up but I imagine I'll have some more later this weekend because tomorrow is bid day!! I get my own bid day shirt and everything! And the ladies were all like "OH! You have to be in our bid day pictures with us. You're one of us now!" I'm so nervous for them though. If they don't do well in recruitment this semester then we're going to put them on revitalization (which I definitely think they need). I hope for their sake though that we don't have to do that. Plus they've worked really hard during recruitment and they're all excited. I really don't want to see them disappointed. Oh, and can I tell you how much drama comes with this job? Shit tons. Not only do I have the drama that comes with the chapter that I'm visiting at the moment, but I also have the drama that comes with the chapters I've already been too because they all call and tell me about it, and I have drama from my chapter as well! And it's not just the girls in the chapters either, but also their Greek advisors and chapter advisors causing drama. Ugh. It's just nuts. But I love it!!
