things of the utmost importance
My name is MacKenzie. I have a complex about capitalization. I have lived in Chicago, IL; Phoenix, AZ; Randolph, NJ; San Jose, CA; Minnetonka, MN; Darien, CT; and now Boston, MA, where I am a third-year English major at Northeastern University. Adventure!

Anonymous asked: Not to copy the other girl, but you were also one of the reasons I wanted to join Kappa. I'm not much of a sorority girl, and because of that I've been uncomfortable going to events and hanging out with girls because that's not really my thing. However, I do want to befriend everyone and actually be a part of it! Any suggestions from one who, like me, isn't all "oh em gee, there's an event?! Let's do it and wear matching shirts/bows/etc.!"

If you could see how big I’m smiling right now, you would laugh right in my face. I totally understand - getting together and wearing matching letter shirts and bows in your hair and singing a lot and little ~*things*~ like that aren’t really my scene, but that’s what’s really nice about Eta Omicron - everyone gets that that isn’t my thing, and they are more than okay with it. People seem to have a hard time separating the sorority personality from the sorority as an organization - I’m not in Kappa to dress the same as everyone else or pee myself about socials and formals or get really cliquey. I’m in Kappa for my GPA, for philanthropy, and to meet new people because that’s what sororities are supposed to be for. Just a few weeks ago a woman at the company I co-op for introduced herself to me as a Kappa, did the grip, and gave me her personal email address and phone number with directions to “call if you ever need anything - a job, a reference, anything.” These sorts of connections are important to make - anyone who says that connections don’t matter in the real world is lying to you - and Kappa can really help to make those connections as well as strengthening your college resume. It’s an after-college society as well. Just keep that in mind if you’re ever feeling weird or left out, and know that if you ever want or need to hang out with one of the least sorority-esque girls in our sorority, my phone number is on Facebook and, even though I sometimes look like I might, I don’t bite. <3
