Well, Evan got initiated a couple weeks ago:  that’s right, I am now officially a member of The Delta Phi fraternity (Llenroc as all the current Cornellians call it), and life has never been better.  The air seems fresher, food tastes yummier, and my stress-level has finally returned to managable state.

I wrote another post about pledging a while ago, and I’m looking forward to going back to these posts to see how my views change between then and now.  Even though pledging is a little difficult … or somewhat difficult … meh we’ll say extremely difficult … I would recommend it to anyone.  You don’t even know the type of resourcefulness you will achieve when you have absolutely no time.  After pledging ended, I actually do stuff in my free time — the other day, I had a couple hours in between classes where I got all of my financial aid crap done! Wtf … Before that would time would’ve been spent snoozing or FaceBook stalking, but I’m still in the survival–never enough time for anything–need to take a shower–somewhat sleep-deprived mindset.

Anyway, none of my other achievements are quite the same as this.  Feels different, comforting, and glorious all at the same time.  Oh yes, I’ve been a pledge, and now I’m a NIB (Newly Initiated Brother) — I’m gonna stick with NIB.

BTW, Check out this hilarious video that chronicles the truth behind being a “Bro.”  (Thanks to Steve Matthews for e-mailing this) –> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WaS6mlUS5Kw
