Tonight was my home girl Flor's probate. For those that are unfamiliar with what a probate is its basically Greekspeak for when a sorority or fraternity pledge crosses over and officially becomes a sister or brother. Now I don't particularly care for Greeklife, to be completely honest I think it is the stupidest part of the traditional college experience. Instead of finding out who you are in college what these people end up doing is using these Greek organizations as a crutch for having a social life, like wanting to relive high school cliques again. No thanks. I thought one of the main points of the college experience is to find out who you are as an individual but maybe I got it all wrong. With that said Flor's little speech was very nice and articulate, I expected nothing less of my Flor and I was there to be supportive. She was whisked away and I waited like an hour and a half in the middle of some park on the Upper West Side to see a some Fraternity's probate and I swear it was the biggest congregation of minorities. Literally like 100 people screaming at the top of their lungs chanting and making bird calls. Clearly I missed when they handed out the Kool-Aid because I wanted OUT. OH, and the girls. Hollywood had me BAMBOOZLED, these chicks were SUPER wack. The dudes? I wouldn't even entertain the idea of a date. I'm glad I've been independent from the whole college scene and made friends of my choosing . I feel I'm more prepared for the real world by not pretending that these little Greek organizations are going to help me in the long run. I'll post some pictures up tomorrow but right now I am EXHAUSTED. I have to go to bed because I have a viewing for a place and work tommorrow in the AM. But first a snack :)

Don't really care much for Greek life either, but with the right sorority you have business connections later on in life.
