Week 1 - Chi Gamma Psi

Sororities in Second Life are an interesting thing, as we are all learning through this process.  There are generally two types of people in Second Life - those who live for the drama, and those who avoid it like the plague.  Sororities are a mixture of the two, and I think that's what can make the environment so tumultuous at times.  This can make reaching out to another sorority to bond with a scary experience.

The ladies of Chi Gamma Psi that joined us this evening were nothing short of amazing.  President Jordyn, Vice President MJ, and pledge Juels were open to hanging out with us, fun to be around, and when asked about why they each decided to pledge the Beta Nu chapter of Chi Gamma Psi, they were each open with their own, unique experiences.

Big Sister Spellbound and Big Sister Foundation can probably remember that Chatterbox is my (Tivi) personal favorite way to get to know other people.  For those that remember Truthball, I own one and that was my go-to, get-to-know-you activity in the past.  Chatterbox having allll these categories is, like, heaven for me.

However, as soon as the Ludo table came out of Marie's inventory, the Cheesy and Trouble competitive spirit in Jordyn took over, and our gears switched.  We chose to play a group game of Ludo for the time that we had, and just chat and generally get comfortable with each other.

The "Cheesy/Trouble champion" Jordyn was so confident she was gonna school us.  Except that, "Ludo is different so y'all might get me."  The table must've heard her because she lived in the Start space foreeeeeeeever.

But the fun part about Ludo is that there are hazards, and of courrrrse Marie had hazards turned on on her table.  However, I (Tivi) was the first one to get a piece in home, from one of those "Jump to Home" hazards so I went from being grumbly to being super grateful for them REAL fast.  Lmao.

Ultimately, we went into this not knowing much about the Beta Nu chapter of Chi Gamma Psi, and we left with a group of new friends.  We got friend requests from one of their pledges, and we were invited to their Friendsgiving event that their pledges are hosting on Sunday.

This is what this particular task is about, for me.  I knew Jordyn from Femmes & Lettos, but I did not know her as a President, or as a Greek in general, really.  So we get to know people in a new light through tasks like this, and deepen friendships to a different level.

And Jordyn wants a rematch game with us when we have time to finish it.  xD
