Hot Chocolate

Alright first let me apologize for the lack of blogging, I have several that I am writing, they just are not quite done, ill release them latter this week look for 4 or 5.

Anyways wanted to share this story, that happened to me over the weekend. During Sorority formal recruitment, I helped pass out hot chocolate to the poor, cold potential new members. Which was fun, most girls didn't take any, but at least said thank-you. Expect for this one girl when asked if she wanted one she said "Not from YOU!". I was not happy with this response and put a huge downer on the rest of the day.

So Sunday came around and we put our little hot coco table up again and began handing out the beverages. More girls actually stopped and talked to us, and took more hot coco. So we were feeling that maybe the day was turning around and maybe yesterday just had all the bitchy girls or something. Then one girl stopped and talked to us. She said she didn't need any but wanted to thank us for doing this and to apologize for yesterday.

Now I am not positive that she is the same one that was so rude the day before, but I am almost positive she is. After thanking us for standing out in the cold and giving hot coco to those who wanted it, she told us exactly why she was to hostel. I guess there were several sororities telling their girls that, the guys handing out hot coco threw water balloons at them two years ago. This took me back that people would say such things about FIJI. We assured the girl that it was not us, but it got me thinking. I asked around to the seniors and found that we had not thrown water balloons at the potential new members. We were told by many girls that there fraternities down the street that were cat calling and calling out numbers as girls walked by. (This really helps the greek image right?) Heres what I learned from the weekend

1) Your reputation is everything.

2) Don't Judge someone without knowing the whole story

3) Hanging with your brothers in the freezing cold could not have been more fun

4) People take notice of the small things, even if as simple as holding the door open for people or passing out hot chocolate

5) FREE HOT CHOCOLATE according to Taylor Yohe "Those words don't even go together"

And because I love the song so much

As Always Proud to be an American

and damn proud to be a FIJI
