Subject: Sisters in Love and Trust (Chapter 3B) (no sex)

Tuesday:

All seven potentials woke up the next day eager to see who would be their
next potential Big Sister. Sonya and Alex felt whoever came to them today
would not be as good as who visited them yesterday. Gina and Daphne were
both hoping for someone better. Sure, they'd gotten along with the first
ones, but they both felt their potential Bigs had rubbed them the wrong
way. Maisy hoped for someone a little more interested, as Melanie had
seemed very apathetic about the job. Susan and Janine were the only ones
who did not feel like today's candidate had to be better, or might be
worse, than yesterday's pick. None knew when they'd be approached by the
next one, they'd have to wait and see.

Sonya:

Jennifer was the next Sister the chapter had picked to be Sonya's potential
Big Sister. Sonya met up with her after lunch, when she and Alex parted
ways to their first afternoon classes. Sonya was just about to head to her
Organic Chemistry lecture when Jennifer met up with her. Sonya giggled when
she realized she had not noticed she shared the class with Jennifer. "It's
a big class, so of course you would not notice one individual person."
Jennifer told her, trying to defray Sonya's embarrassment. Sonya had to
agree. There was at least one hundred people in this lecture. Sciences were
popular majors at Miggs-Tristan. At least one third of Miggs-Tristan's
student body were in S.T.E.M. majors. Jennifer did not need to explain why
she had been picked for Sonya. Sonya already figured from what Allyson told
her yesterday that the reason she was picked was because they had similar
majors.

"So what made you pick Biology of all things?" Sonya asked
Jennifer. Jennifer smiled. "I was born with an uncommon genetic
mutation. It "deformed" me so to speak, so I went into Biology to learn
more about it and how it worked. I've had to hide it from a lot of
people. One of the reasons I love being in the Sisterhood is that they
don't care about how it presents itself. They accept me as I am. I never
felt that before. Why did you pick Chemistry?" Sonya laughed at this
question. "Where I'm from, people hate science. They're all the typical
"science deniers" you hear about in the news. Everyone felt that since I'm
a pretty girl, science was no place for me. I want to prove that I can be
more than a pretty face. I always liked Chemistry. I like understanding how
everything interacts with the world." Jennifer could not hold back her
laughter. "I thought people like that were exaggerated. I never expected
they'd actually exist." Sonya sighed. "Sadly, at least where I'm from, they
do." Jennifer giggled. "I pity you." She quipped.

"It's not so bad. I do have to keep quiet a lot when I'm home because they
would all jump on me if I tried to use what I've learned here to prove them
wrong. My family is very conservative. I'm the only liberal in my
family. They all hope I'll "come around" one day. That's not happening. I'm
trying to get a job somewhere far from home when I finish here. To be
honest, I can't stand my family. How is it for you?" Sonya asked. Jennifer
just laughed. "I see my mom a lot actually. She's the Chapter Advisor. She
actually convinced me to join as she told me they'd accept me regardless of
my disorder. I was apprehensive, but I found out during Instatement Weekend
that she told me the truth. I was very happy about that. I haven't seen my
dad in ten years. He divorced my mom when I was eight. He couldn't handle
having a "deformed" daughter." Jennifer said sadly. It made Sonya kind of
upset to see this.

Sonya was surprised to see Jennifer perk up again after this. As they
walked to their class, they talked about what problems they had with it and
other classes they had to take for their majors. Both agreed that OChem was
a hard class. Sonya saw as they talked that Jennifer seemed to listen more
than speak. Jennifer told her she was a shy person. Having to hide her
"deformity" for so many years made it hard for her to approach others. She
told Sonya how before she joined AAM she rarely hung out with others
outside of school. AAM had opened her up as a person. Despite the small
amount of conversation from Jennifer, Sonya did find out that Jennifer and
her mother were very close and that she had a best friend from her teens
that knew of and accepted her disorder. Try as she might, Sonya could not
seem to get Jennifer to divulge what she had.

Arriving at their lecture, they decided to sit together and spend a little
more time chatting before class began. They knew once the professor started
lecturing they'd have no time to talk. Dr. Clarkson was notorious on campus
for never-ending lectures. Sonya and Jennifer both laughed at the times
they saw other students fall asleep from his droning voice. They did not
have much time to talk after the lecture was finished. Jennifer's next
class was in an hour, but Sonya's was just fifteen minutes from the time
they left their lecture. Sonya had enjoyed her time with Jennifer, but she
felt already that Allyson would be a better choice for her. She would see
if tomorrow's candidate could top Allyson.

Alex:

Alex met with Nina, her next potential, right as she and Sonya met up at
Milton for lunch. Alex was awestruck as she viewed Nina. The girl was
beautiful. "She has to have modeled. She's gorgeous." Alex
thought. "Hellooooo, Earth to Alex." She heard Sonya shout, which knocked
her out of her daydream. She blushed as she realized she'd been
staring. She could not help it, Nina was definitely the kind of girl she
dreamed of dating, but always felt was out of her league. "Sorry." She said
quietly. She blushed more when Nina just giggled. "Sonya, would you mind if
Alex ate with me today?" Nina asked. Alex was surprised at how quiet Nina's
voice was. "Sure. Just don't hog her all day." Sonya quipped. Nina giggled
again and Sonya headed for the food lines. Nina and Alex did too, but to
another station. Alex was glad to see that like her, Nina was careful about
what she ate.

"So, why you?" Was the first thing Alex asked Nina. Nina just blushed. "To
be honest, I have no idea. We're not in similar majors. We're both quite
social and we're from similar backgrounds. I really have no clue why they
picked me for you." Nina said. She was quite for a moment, her tongue out
over her lip as she pondered, then she spoke again. "I don't think it's
because we're both lesbians. That's never a reason." Alex had a stunned
look as she heard this. Both girls picked for her so far had been lesbians
like her. She shook her head in exasperation, a bit miffed at this
realization. "Geez, they gonna just pair me with other lezzies this week?"
Alex asked.

Nina laughed as she said this. "No, you got Amelia tomorrow. She still
isn't sure what she is. She's done guys and girls, but still doesn't know
what she prefers." Alex chortled. "So, two lezzies and a potential one. You
know there is more to me than just that I like chicks." Alex quipped. Nina
giggled again. "I know. Believe me, it was just coincidence that two of
your potentials ended up being lesbians. We have quite a few in our
Chapter, so the odds are good you'll have one as a Big Sister. It's kind of
a tradition for us. When we were founded, most sororities wouldn't let gay
women join. We were one of the few that did not bar them." Hearing this
raised Alex's spirits. She knew that struggle well.

Nina smiled after saying this. "That's kind of what convinced me to join. I
know what it's like to have to hide who you are. I still have not told my
parents. They're very old-fashioned. They want me to marry a nice man and
give them grandchildren. I'm not sure they'd be too thrilled to find out
their daughter is gay." Alex was stunned to hear this. It almost made her
smile to talk with another person who had to hide who they were. She
wondered though if Nina had to hide to the level she had. "Have you ever
been with another girl, I mean like on date, not in bed?" Alex asked. Nina
nodded. "I've had a few dates with other girls back home. Where I live,
people are more accepting. I hate that I had to lie to my parents and act
like I was just going out with friends." Alex looked down sadly. "At least
you had that. I had to hide my lesbianism from everyone. Nobody where I'm
from likes gay people. My hometown is as red as they come. It hurt me so
much that I had to lie to everyone about who I am. They all still think
being gay is a choice."

Nina's jaw dropped hearing this. "It's 2016 and they still think being gay
is a choice?" She said questioningly. "Yeah. You'd think a town in New
England would not be like that, but even in blue states you have those red
pockets who are very far-right. Unfortunately where I'm from is one of
them." Alex whined. "Where are you from?" Nina asked. "Carrollton, New
Hampshire." Alex answered. Nina shook her head as Alex told her this. "I
heard of that town, the mayor was on the news a lot when the Supreme Court
legalized gay marriage." Alex nodded. Despite the less pleasant nature of
how their conversation began, Alex and Nina were actually quite a good
match. Alex could not deny she was attracted to Nina. Still, she pushed the
thought of asking Nina out away. She knew already Nina was out of her
league. She felt that point was solidified when Nina confirmed she had been
a model before. By the time they parted, Alex was now wondering which she'd
prefer to be her Big Sister. She felt more of a connection with Margaret,
but then there was how hot Nina was. She'd have to see who they would pick
for her.

Janine:

Jazmine was the next Sister to interview Janine. Jazmine did not have any
classes near any of Janine's, so she called her after her last class let
out to meet up with her. Janine rushed to the quad to meet Jazmin, as her
last class was still going when Jazmin called her. She did not receive the
call, but got the voicemail. She was a little winded when she got to the
bench Jazmine was sitting on. "Good, you got my voicemail. I was worried
I'd have to call you again." Jazmine said happily to
her. "I... almost... missed it." Janine said panting. Jazmine reached into
her bag and handed a bottle of water to Janine. "Thanks." She breathed as
she sat down. "Fat girls were not meant to run that fast." She said after
taking a big drink and handing the bottle back to Jazmin. Both laughed
about what Janine said. "So, did they pick you for me because we're both
overweight?" Janine asked.

Jazmine shook her head as she responded. "No, more that you and I both have
been bullied for our size." Janine smiled hearing this. It had been her
worst problem growing up. Everyone always made fun of her for her
weight. It really sucked because no matter how much she dieted, watching
what she ate, she never could lose the weight. "I faced a good amount of
bullying for my size. Nothing I tried to lose weight ever worked. I
seriously considered going the surgery route, but my parents could never
afford it." Jazmin hugged Janine when she said this. "I know what you
mean. I was born very poor. My parents struggled a lot to take care of
me. I was completely unplanned. My mom thought she was infertile, so they
never thought they'd have kids. I gained most of my weight later in
life. My parents were killed in a car accident when I was eight. I was
adopted when I was ten, and my adoptive parents were much better off. I ate
a lot because the food they fed me was so much better than what my birth
parents could afford."

Janine felt her heart sink hearing this. "I'm so sorry." She said. Jazmin
was silent for a few minutes. "Thanks. It hurt a lot when they died. I was
in foster homes for a while. My adoptive parents were my fourth foster
family. My adoptive father was sterile from testicular cancer, so they
became foster parents to fill that void. I guess they really liked me,
because after just three months as my foster parents they put in the papers
to adopt me. They never asked me to give up my birth name, which I was
happy about." Janine could almost feel her eyes tearing up as Jazmin told
her this. Not only had she been bullied for her weight, but she had lost
her parents young too. This girl sure had it rough. Janine hugged Jazmine
tightly. "I'm so sorry you had to go through all that." She said as she
hugged Jazmin.

Janine thought of her own parents as Jazmin told her story. Her parents
were very supportive of her. They never forced her to try to lose weight or
anything like that. She took a few ribbing from her older brother, but that
was it at home. Despite both of them being in good shape, they never felt
Janine should lose weight. They always told her she was just the way she
was meant to be. "How did your adoptive parents treat you with your
weight?" Janine asked. Jazmin giggled. "I think they purposely tried to
fatten me up. They spoiled me rotten from day one. Any treat or something
like that I wanted, I got. I guess they wanted to make up for not being
able to have a child of their own. They'd always make little jokes like
"soon you'll be ready for the oven" or "You're still too skinny, eat up."
Jazmin giggled again. "I'm glad they never tried to make me into some
perfect daughter they felt they were owed. I guess they were just happy to
have me."

Janine laughed along with Jazmin. She was glad she and Jazmin could get
along so well. She certainly got along better with Jazmin than she had with
Stacy yesterday. Sure, Stacy did not lord her looks over Janine, but Janine
still felt insecure around her. She felt completely comfortable around
Jazmin. She was almost sad when they parted. Janine had a lab report to
finish for tomorrow, so she could not stay long. She was a little shocked
when Jazmin hugged her goodbye. "Trust me when I say this. AAM is perfect
for girls like you and I. I never accepted my weight until I joined. These
girls helped me accept who I am." Janine smiled hearing this. She was very
glad Maisy had convinced her to try for this sorority. Already they'd made
her feel much better about herself.

Maisy:

Maisy had not even gotten through breakfast when her next potential
approached her. Susan and Janine weren't with her right now. Her first
class was later than theirs, so she slept in. She was shocked at the girl
who came up to her. She was quite tiny in her figure, except for her
height. She looked very young. "Hey Maisy." Hanna said to her. "Mind if I
sit with you?" Maisy shook her head. She had only seen Hanna briefly during
the party. As soon as she sat down, Maisy could not resist joking with
Hanna about her young looks. "Are you even old enough to be in college?"
Maisy joked. "Shut up!!" Hanna whined loudly. "I hate that I look so
young. I get that joke at least three times a week. I don't see how Wendy
likes how young she looks." Maisy had seen Wendy at the party too. She was
very skinny and tiny, she looked barely older than a young teen.

"Doesn't help I'm the youngest in the Sisterhood right now." Hanna
huffed. Maisy snorted in laughter. "Oh get over it. Some people would kill
to look as young as you." Maisy quipped. Hanna gave Maisy a dirty
look. "I'm just messing with you." Maisy laughed. "Don't be so hard on
yourself." Maisy had to laugh more as a disapproving whine was heard from
Hanna, though her mouth stayed closed. "You can be a real bully, you know
that?" Hanna said contemptuously. "Eh, not really." Maisy shrugged. "See if
I upvote you again." Hanna thought. "So give me the skinny, why did they
pick you for me?" Maisy asked. Hanna did not answer immediately. She was
quite for a while, trying to think why she might have been picked for
Maisy.

"Don't really know. Big Sisters are supposed to help you get better grades
and be a better student. I don't think I'd be that. I'm still trying to
figure out what I'm doing with my life. I haven't even picked a major."
Maisy was taken aback by this. "If you don't have a major, then what kind
of classes are you taking?" Hanna shrugged. "Mostly Gen Eds right now. I
don't really have an idea of what I want to do with my life. I just came to
college because I knew my parents wanted me to go. I really have no plan
yet." Maisy shook her head. Sure, she was kind of lazy and all, but she at
least had an idea of what she wanted to do with her life. She wanted to be
an art therapist. Especially for young children. She didn't think her and
Hanna would work out. "Are they writing me off?" Maisy thought. "None of my
potentials seem interested."  This disheartened her some. She really wanted
to join these girls. Plus, if she wasn't in, would Susan and Janine stick
around. She didn't want them quitting either. She could tell both needed
something like this.  Maisy had to admit she was quite put off by Hanna. It
was strange really. Melanie was looser a girl than Hanna, but the way Hanna
went about it was really rubbing Maisy the wrong way. Melanie acted like it
was just what she did. She didn't brag about it or anything. Hanna on the
other hand seemed to brag about her adventures. "Can we stop talking about
your sex life for a bit?" Maisy said in exasperation. Hanna was stunned to
hear this. "Sorry, I just thought from what Melanie told me you'd be
interested." Hearing this stunned Maisy. "Look, I like sex a lot, not as
much as Melanie but still a lot, but I know when to keep quiet about it."
Hanna looked down cast as Maisy said this. "I'm sorry. I guess I'm just not
cut out for being anyone's Big Sister. To be honest, I'm still shocked they
let me in. I was a lot like Denise, but they still accepted me in. I guess
it's because at least my grades were decent."

Maisy felt upset at this. She could see it now. Hanna was very insecure
about herself. No wonder she hated how young she looked and bragged about
her sexual exploits. She felt she wasn't good enough. Maisy stood up and
hugged Hanna. "Hey, there has to be something good about you if they
accepted you." Hanna did not say anything. She just got up when Maisy let
go of her and said her goodbyes, before walking away. Maisy was very sad to
see this. She was very worried now she'd made Hanna feel worse. "I'm going
to have a BIG apology to give soon, I just know it." She said to herself as
she looked down, picking up her backpack. She was not at all happy how this
meeting went. She really hoped whoever was picked for her tomorrow would be
a good choice. She was starting to wonder if the Sisters wanted her in. She
hoped she was wrong, she really wanted to join. She knew there was nothing
she could do right now, she'd just have to wait until Friday to see.

Daphne:

Stephanie approached Daphne late in the day, when they met outside the rec
center after their respective practices. Daphne chuckled that Stephanie had
been selected for her. She already knew why. "Let me guess, they picked you
for me because we're both student athletes?" Stephanie nodded her
response. "Yeah. They felt you and I would get along well as Big and Little
because we both are athletes and I would understand your situation best. I
kind of hope I get picked for you. I'm in my last year and I have not had a
Little Sister yet." Daphne had to wonder if Stephanie would have time to be
her Big Sister. She had talked with Stephanie at the party last Friday and
knew Stephanie was vying to be captain of the volleyball team. "Do you
think you'll have time to be my Big?" Daphne asked.

To her surprise, Stephanie nodded. "I'm almost certain my spot as captain
is guaranteed, so I don't have to put much effort into that. I'm the best
player on the team. I've won more games for them than anyone else, plus my
stats speak for themselves. I never miss practice and I'm very dedicated."
Daphne had a laugh as she heard this. "Lucky for you I guess. I just got
the starting spot on the basketball team, and I know another girl is trying
to take it from me. Problem is we're evenly matched, except I have two
inches on her in height." Daphne could see already her and Stephanie would
get along. Both of them were tall, competitive and kind of tomboys. "What
got you into volleyball?" She asked.

"I used to hate it actually. The first time I played it was in elementary
school. I was very short then, so I had trouble making shots over the
net. I went through a huge growth spurt in middle school. The first time I
played after I finished growing, I found I enjoyed it a lot more. I played
on my high school team and actually that was how I got noticed by a scout
from here. I'm glad that happened. My family is quite poor so this was the
only way I could go to college." Daphne knew that pain. She too had been
poor growing up. "It's the same for me. I only can be here because of my
scholarships. I've always been tall. Other kids used to tease me because I
always towered over all the others. Until my freshman year of high school I
was the tallest kid in school. A cousin of mine got me into basketball. He
was a member of his high school team and he felt that if I got good at it,
people would tease me less for my height. He was right."

"Do you play any other sports?" Stephanie asked. Daphne nodded. "I ran
track too when I was in high school. I did the 400, 800 and Long Jump. What
about you, any others?" Stephanie laughed again. Daphne had to shake her
head. Stephanie was certainly a giddy sort. "You'd never believe this, but
I actually used to play football. My middle school was one of the only ones
that fielded a team. I joined for the hell of it. Quite a few guys didn't
want me on the team. I didn't stay on for long. I couldn't take the
bullying. Guys can really be dicks sometimes." Daphne had to laugh at
this. "Tell me about it. Most guys don't want to date me because I'm so
tall. It sucks really. My last boyfriend didn't care, but that was probably
because he was 6'8", so even I looked tiny compared to him."

From this, it was quite easy for the two to converse with each other. Most
of their conversation stayed on their sports, both comparing the challenges
each faced in their sport with the other. Daphne was glad to see how well
she got along with Stephanie. It made her feel better about joining,
knowing that at least one other student had made it through pledging while
being a student athlete. They didn't part ways until very late, after they
had dinner together in Milton. Daphne already could see Stephanie would be
picked to be her Big Sister. She hadn't gotten along with any other Sister
this well. She doubted whoever she met with tomorrow would be a better
match for her than Stephanie.

Susan:

Right after her first class on Tuesday Susan received a text from a number
she did not recognize. Reading the text she saw it was from Angela. Susan
knew she was probably asking to meet because she had been selected as one
of Susan's potential Big Sisters. Susan had not really interacted with
Angela at the party, but she remembered the girl well. It was not often you
saw blue-eyed brunettes. Plus the fact that Angela was one hell of a
dresser. Susan wondered how Angela would work as her Big, but she knew she
had to meet Angela and give her a chance. Angela's text said she'd be
outside Glasson around 11:00. Susan had fifteen minutes to get there, so
she hurried there to meet Angela. Angela was already waiting for her when
she arrived, dressed in tight blue jeans, a dark blouse with three buttons
at the top, all of which were open, and black suede boots that went to
mid-calf. Her hair was done up too, as were her nails and Susan almost
chuckled seeing that Angela also had the new iPhone. This girl really liked
to look good and fashionable. "Geez, I'm fine as long as my clothes are
clean. This girl seems to think out every outfit." Susan thought.

Susan nervously walked up to the bench Angela sat on and once near she
announced her arrival. "Hi." Susan said to Angela nervously. Angela's eyes
went off her phone and to Susan, which made her smile. "Hey. Great, you got
my text. Sit down for bit, let's chat." She said happily. Susan was taken
aback. With Angela's total fashionista appearance, Susan was not expecting
her to be so friendly. Angela laughed at Susan's shock. "Yeah, I get that a
lot. People like to think that because I dress so fashionably and that I
take a lot of time with my hair and all that I'm some pretentious sort that
thinks they're better than others. Actually, until I got here, I never
dressed like this. My family is very poor, so I often had to wear
second-hand clothes and had very basic phones." Susan's head tilted in
puzzlement. "How the hell do you afford those clothes then?" Angela
giggled. "Well, thanks to my grades in high school, I got some great
scholarships that cover all my costs here. I work part-time basically to
pay for my clothes and all. Plus, well this is kind of sad to admit, a lot
of the clothes I have guys I date buy for me."

"You some kind of gold-digger then?" Susan quipped. Angela shook her
head. "I don't date guys because of what they can buy me. Just I often get
guys who want to spoil me. It's funny really as most guys I date I never
date them very long. I think the longest I dated any guy was a month. I'm
just not ready right now to commit to anyone long-term." Susan was sad to
hear this. She'd never dated anyone. She was too scared of what they would
think of her. "I've never been on a date." She sadly admitted. Angela's jaw
dropped hearing this. "A pretty girl like you has never dated? Even if you
like girls, which I'm sure you do, I'm sure some would love to go out with
you." Susan nodded at this. "I have been asked out by some guys and
girls. I turn the guys down because I'm not into them. Girls, as much as I
want to date them, I don't think they'd like me once they found out more
about me."

Angela hugged Susan after she said this. "I'm sure you'd be fine. You have
to give people a chance. Some people are a lot more open-minded than you
think." Angela could see Susan still had doubts. She really hoped now she'd
be picked as Susan's Big. She had a feeling she could get Susan to be more
open about herself. "Now look, I don't mean to sound presumptuous, but I'm
almost certain I'll be selected to be your Big Sister." Susan tilted her
head in puzzlement. "How can you be so sure?" She asked. Angela
grinned. "Look, you're the shy type. We like girls to open up to others in
our Sisterhood. Usually with girls like you we put them with girls like
me. I'm a vivacious sort, and I think I can help you be more open to
others. Just trust me." Susan hung her head. "It's not that I'm shy is why
I'm so guarded. It's the life I had before I came here." Angela shook her
head in exasperation. "Look, I know we keep saying we take anyone, and I've
seen girls like you who doubt it. Trust me, we're the most open and
tolerant sorority in the country. We've taken girls no other sorority would
dream of taking. If you get in, you'll see for yourself. Some of our
Sisters are people other sororities would find any excuse to bar, like
Amanda, Jennifer, Jazmin and Kanya."

Susan looked with wonder at Angela as she said this. "We take almost any
girl in our Sisterhood." Angela said as she put her hand to Susan's chest,
laying it flat against her heart. Susan blushed, seeing Angela's hand
almost fully between her breasts. "Trust me. As long as this is good, we'll
accept you no matter what. You'll be fine." Angela got up and grabbed her
purse and backpack as she prepared to leave. "I know you have your doubts,
Suz. If I become your Big, I'll prove to you that no matter what, we'll
accept you in our Sisterhood. I can tell already you're a good person, and
you care about others and making them happy. That's enough for us. There is
nothing about you, and I MEAN NOTHING, that will make us say you're not
welcome." Before she left, Angela hugged Susan one more time. "Trust me,
you'll be fine with us." Despite not saying much to Angela, Susan's spirits
were lifted as Angela left. Maybe it was true they'd accept her in AAM. She
smiled at this. Maybe, against all odds, she just might find a place where
she truly was accepted as she was. She had to find out.

Gina:

Kanya, Gina's second potential Big Sister, met up with her after her first
class. Gina knew why Kanya had been picked for her. Both were engineering
majors and children of immigrants. When she told this to Kanya she laughed
and confirmed her assumptions were correct. "Well, you do have a bit of a
leg up on me," Kanya said when she stopped giggling. "You at least were
born here. I moved here when I was eleven." Gina shook her head. "I don't
think that means much. I too grew up quite poor. The only reason I was able
to attend Melson Prep was because I earned a good scholarship. If my middle
school grades had not been so good, I would have been going to my local
public school." Kanya smiled. "At least you had that. The only prestigious
school near me didn't offer scholarships. I don't think I would have been
accepted anyway. That school was unbelievably white." Both burst out
laughing as Kanya said this.

Gina could tell already Kanya was someone she could easily get along
with. They had much in common as she came to find from chatting with
her. Both were children of immigrants, dealt with racial prejudice back
home, were from poor families and, to Gina's surprise, both were
bi-curious. "Well, maybe we can find out together." Gina quipped. Kanya
shook her head. "Sorry sweetie, but you're not my type." Gina blushed as
Kanya said this. "Oh, so what is your type then?" She asked teasingly. "I'm
not really sure. I can't tell yet what kind of girl I'd like to go to bed
with. Still, I'm pretty sure you're not it." Kanya laughed again as Gina
scoffed. "With any luck, my first girl will probably end up being
Melanie. She's got some crazy goal about fucking the whole chapter before
she leaves this place." Hearing this made Gina stop dead. "What the hell is
that girl's deal anyway?" She asked.

"Beats the hell out of me. She just always tells us the same thing. She
likes sex and she's comfortable with her body. You would not believe how
much trouble we've had with the strange people she brings back to fuck, and
all the times she'd be naked when others are visiting the house. We
practically had to force her to get dressed last year when the head of
Greek Life visited the house. She's a very old-fashioned type and would
have probably kicked us off campus if Melanie had not gotten dressed. Of
course, she might have it out for us because she's an Alpha Sigma Alpha
alum. We've been at odds with them for decades."

Hearing this did make Gina wonder if joining would be a good idea after
all. She had wanted to leave that high school stuff behind when she came to
college. Kanya saw this worry. "Don't sweat it. We're in a ceasefire right
now. Nobody's made a move in the last two years, so I think you'll be
fine. Nobody wants to be the one to fire the first shot." This allayed
Gina's fears some, but not much. Still, she wasn't convinced now suddenly
to not join. She could tell all her Pledge Sisters were intent on getting
in, and she didn't want to be the only one to drop out. The fact that there
were girls like Jazmin, Jaclyn and Kanya in the chapter helped. Seeing
there were others serious about their studies told her these girls could
not be all bad.

By the time Gina and Kanya split up, Gina could tell she really wanted
Kanya to be her Big Sister. She got along so well with her and was glad to
see someone with a similar outlook on life in the Chapter. Still, given
what Lucy had told her yesterday, the odds were good Lucy or whatever girl
she met tomorrow would be picked instead. She had lightened up on her view
of Lucy, but she still felt they would not be a good match. "I really hope
she's not my Big." Gina thought. The thought was out of her mind by the
time she arrived at her next class, focused wholly on the lecture. She
didn't even think about it the rest of her day.

That night, the actives met again to discuss what had been gleaned during
today's interviews. Already the Chapter had an idea of who would mentor
some girls. Two of them the Chapter was pretty much certain the candidate
had already met her Big Sister. It would all depend on what happened during
the final interviews tomorrow.
