a new found love for those of the three triangle persuasion

So, tonight's blog entry was going to be called "A New Found Dislike for Those of the Three Triangle Persuasion." Who am I talking about? If you guessed Jenee, you are wrong. She and I are definitley skraight... and she is not of the three triangle persuasion... she is definitely of the "psi" persuasion. So, the individuals I am talking about are Greek. Yes, our lovely sisters of "Dilta Dilta Dilta." Tri-Delt. Their snow beast of a Miss Clemson contestant said it "Dilta Dilta Dilta." Anyway, I was about to be for real pissed at one of them today... This is why...

Well, in speech, we are doing persuasive speeches. I decided a while ago to do mine on the drawbacks of George Dubya's "No Child Left Behind" bull crap. Lo and behold, this Tri-Delt, Kelsey, announces that she is doing hers on the ADVANTAGES of "No Child Left Behind..." and her reasoning: "Well, I just saw that someone was doing the drawbacks, so I decided to do the advantages." Oooh... this girl obviously did not know me. I think she might have thought she did from the speeches about band and KKPsi that I so eloquently and jocundly delivered to the class... but I was upset. I was ready to head to the library and research the hell out of some N.C.L.B.

Well, after I went to Seneca and tutored, I parked down on Cherry Road so I could walk down to my dorm and pass by Smith and Barnett so I could put my name up on the duty boards. Smith Hall, by the way, is home to the Kappas (burnt hair), Chi Os (hoo), and... the Tri-Delts. I went in and put my name up, and as I was leaving, who else walks up to the door but Kelsey. I held the door open and gave that "I-know-you-from-class-but-not-well-enough-to-say-hi-to-you" smile. She had a different sort of look on her face. As I kept walking away from the door, she stood there and said, "Hey, Hamilton, I'm Kelsey and I'm in your speech class." I was like, "Oh, hey!" Then she said, "I just wanted to let you know that I don't really know much about 'No Child Left Behind,' I just know that I agree with it, so I'm not trying to argue with you. No offense!" she said as she smiled. I smiled too. "None taken."

So, yay for the Tri-Delts! I think that that is probably the most positive interaction I have ever had with one. So, how normally, one bad apple can spoil the whole bunch, one good Tri-Delt has definitely boosted my approval of the rest of them.
