It has been awhile since I have written in my blog. Since I wrote last time I have experienced so much with the fraternity that it is amazing. In a way it has been a blessing to me becuase before I got involved with the fraternal activities I would have tons of free time and I was really wondering what I was going to do with myself. At that time all I could really think about was how my life had completley changed when I moved here and my exGF broke up with me. Now, I really don't have any time to think about anything except for school, church, and Frat stuff. Believe it or not, it has actually been a welcoming feeling. Even though being on the go is very stressing; it actually helps me get better grades and manage my time better. In fact, as I write I don't think I've thought about my ex in a couple of weeks. In a way it is a good feeling because for awhile I had this feeling that I had made a big mistake and I needed to regain what I had lost, even to the point of going back home. But now as I look upon how I have changed and developed over the past few months I look back and just can't help but smile.
So far we have only had to go through a few hazing experiences. The truth be told you actually find yourself liking the experience because you realize that it makes you a stronger person and brings a bond in between you and the rest of the brothers because you know that they have gone through the same thing, if not worse. I also am told that every single Fall pledge class president has dropped for the last nine fall semesters because the stress has been too much for them. Of course the first thing that I hear from a lot of brothers is that I am going to drop. For the people that know me that is something that I don't think will ever happen. If someone gives me a challenge I will continually strive for completion until it is done or I die. It is kind of funny because a lot of older brothers say that I have the makings to brake the nine year trend. I personally think I do, and am continually trying to set myself up for success where ever I go.
I hate to say it but this is one of the only free minutes I have had in the past two weeks. I've got to go to a social with one of the hottest sororities on campus!!!
Best wishes, Josh
