My Apologies

My friends, I hope you can find it in your hearts to excuse my absence. A lot has been changing in my life recently, what with my pledging to PIKE PHIsh and trying to maintain a solid 2.00 GPA. The GPA part hasn't really been much of an issue, honestly, I've discovered that the average person with an IQ of 100+ should be able to pass a multiple choice exam, regardless of subject, with at least a 60%, so if you can't manage a 2.0 GPA, what the fuck are you doing in college? It took me longer to figure out the concept of Scantrons than it did to get through my Earth Hazards course.

So the frat. I'm nearly a NIB by now, pledging should last just another couple weeks, according to AJ. The other pledges are mainly freshmen, like me, but they find me a little intimidating. They are still not sure whether I am some kind of joke that the other brothers came up with to make pledging interesting. I'll be back with more details soon, I am supposed to be on the front steps of the house in 15 minutes with a can of spray cheese and a stuffed animal.

Decisions

School is starting to get to me. Apparently my academic performance is "inconsistent" and "sub-par." But this is only according to 4 out of 5 of my professors. Daniel hasn't said shit to me since our last encounter. I've been staying nights in Burlington, at PIKE PHIsh, strictly to make the commute to class easier. That being said, I've been spending a lot of time with the guys. Now, I never considered making anything of my connections in the frat, well, until now I guess. I am starting to learn about how things operate behind the scenes, and I like what I see. Unfortunately, secrecy is an important principle in the house.

Today, driving myself and AJ to campus, he proposed to me. That's right. He is welcoming my pledge to PIKE PHIsh and even promising a fast-track to initiation. It's a huge decision, that is very clear. I could certainly use some advice in the matter. Hit me.
