Sisters in Love and Trust Ch. 01 Chattering from all sides could be heard as the late August sun beat down on the campus of Miggs-Tristan University. Families saying good-byes, students hauling gear and possessions into their dorms and all sorts of chatter amongst students meeting for the first time. On a rural campus like this one, the noise could be deafening. The nearest town was a mile and a half away, a little suburb known as Freiburg, Minnesota, a few miles south of Belle Plaine. Lush greens, a few ponds and old stone and brick buildings dominated the campus. It was not a large school, not in terms of students. Just about 4500 undergraduates and 1000 grad students. Most students lived on campus, due to the lack of close by accommodations. The dorms for freshmen sat along the northern edge of campus. Near the west sat dorms for sophomores. Junior and Senior students lived off on the southern edge in the exclusive Miggs Commons. Some, regardless of year, lived in the mansions and large houses along the east edge, on Greek Row. It was still four days before classes resumed. Most on campus now were freshmen, moving in to begin their college career. One such freshmen was 27 year old Susan Myers. Susan was very nervous. She'd never lived away from home before. She had just finished carting all her stuff into her dorm. Her roommate had not arrived yet. She did not mind, it gave her time to be alone with her thoughts, time to quell the anxieties that racked her mind. She was still unsure if she could handle the college environment. She'd be much older than other freshman, and many other students as well. She'd always been a loner sort growing up, her mother her only real confidant. She was still unsure if she should have come all this way. Worse, after the troublesome home life she had lived, she wondered if she could really open up to anyone here. She was seriously considering abandoning the whole college idea. The only thing that kept her from doing so was the fact that she knew giving in would break her mother's heart. Her mother really hoped Susan was finally ready to go out on her own. She was startled back to the present by a loud knock, then a turn of a key from her dorm door. This had to be her roommate. She stood off the bed and waited by the door. She had no idea who it would be, or what this girl would look like. As the door swung open, she was shocked to see a pretty girl enter. The sight of this girl made Susan blush. The girl smiled as she saw Susan, quickly pulling her bags into the room, then turning to face her new roommate. "Hi, I guess we're going to be roomies this year." She said happily with a wide smile. "I'm Maisy. Wow, you certainly are a tall one." She said, shaking Susan's hand, bending back to look Susan in the eye. At 5'1, Maisy was quite short and Susan was a whole foot taller. Susan was still very quiet. "You're the quiet type, aren't you?" She asked Susan, who nodded in response. "I don't talk much, I have a lot of trouble opening up to others." Maisy chuckled. "A pretty girl like you, having trouble talking to other people? I don't believe it, boys must be chasing you all over. Unless they're too intimidated by your height." Susan leaned her head down as Maisy said this. She wasn't sure if she should tell her new roomie so early that she was attracted to girls. She didn't want to make things awkward on day one. There was enough about her already that could potentially ruin things. Things that would be a lot harder to hide. She had enough trouble making friends as it was. She didn't want to ruin what might be her only shot. Maisy just laughed. "I get it, you're a rugmuncher aren't you?" she quipped. Susan's head shot up, surprised at Maisy's brashness. Was she that obvious? "Look, I don't care who you go to bed with. I've had a few of the fairer sex in my time, and hell, sometimes they're just better." Susan still stayed quiet. She could already tell Maisy was nothing like her. Maisy was vivacious, social and quite the talker. She doubted already she could be friends with Maisy. "How the hell did this happen? The person they put me with is the complete opposite of me." Susan didn't think this would work with her and Maisy. "Hey, are you hungry?" Maisy piped up. "I think our meal plans just went active. Come with me to the cafeteria, I'm starved." Maisy was about to take Susan's hand and lead her out, but stopped herself. "Oh, stupid me, I never got your name. If I'm going to be sleeping in the same room as you I should know it." She giggled. "It's Susan." She replied. "Well, Susan, come with me and let's grab a bite. And don't be so shy. This isn't high school. People here are a lot nicer." Susan almost cried as Maisy said this. She did not want to think of high school. Yes, it was ten years ago for her, but it had been the worst four years of her life. Maisy led Susan quickly down the halls and to the bottom floor, then pulled her to Milton, the building that housed the student cafeteria. Susan could hardly get a word in edgewise, barely able to keep up with Maisy's motor mouth. She heard little snippets here and there. The time Maisy went nude at a party in her junior year, her love of partying and her latest art project. Susan could barely keep up, especially because her eyes kept glancing at Maisy's yummy butt, jiggling and sashaying before her as they walked. Susan was scared at this point, feeling that familiar stirring down below. She clamped her legs closed, hoping Maisy would not notice. By the time they got to Milton, Susan's arousal had lessened, but she still kept her legs clamped, and she tried her best not to blush as her and Maisy entered the mess hall. They separated briefly and filled their trays with various foods. Susan tried her best to find the healthier options, like whole grain breads and produce and leaner meats. Maisy on the other hand just piled her tray with whatever she wanted to eat. "I bet she uses a lot of energy just being so peppy." Susan thought as she looked at the foods on Maisy's tray when they reconvened. They soon sat down and began to eat. Susan shook her head as she looked over all the fatty, greasy or even just oversized food sitting on Maisy's tray. "How can you eat that junk?" Susan asked as Maisy stuffed her face with a second slice of sausage and pepperoni pizza. "Hey, I'm young, I eat what I like." Maisy quipped before digging into her second fried chicken leg. "Well, I'm not as young as you. I worked very hard to get this body, harder than most people. I'm not letting it go so easy." Maisy did not respond. She just stuck out her tongue at Susan, then wolfed down her plate of fries. Susan shook her head again. Susan ignored her and began cutting into her fish filet when the table suddenly was shadowed by another person standing over them. Susan looked up and saw a cute, but overweight girl standing nervously by them. She was quiet for about a minute, trying to say something, before finally speaking. "Do you mind if I sit here?" She asked. "There are no free tables and you guys seemed nice." She said, barely audible. Susan felt her heart go out to this girl. Being shy herself, she knew how hard it was to ask something like that. "Sure." Susan smiled. "You can sit by me." The girl gave a small smile, then sat next to Susan. Maisy had not said anything yet, absorbed in her meal. Maisy first noticed this girl after she sat down. She found the girl kind of cute. "Well hi cutie. What's your name?" Maisy said flirtatiously. The girl blushed, and hid her face. "My name is Janine." She said quietly. Susan shook her head and patted Janine's back softly. "Sorry, my roommate can be very boisterous sometimes. I just met her today and already she's gotten on my nerves." Susan quipped. "Hey!!" Maisy exclaimed. Susan chuckled. "Case in point." She said pointing her thumb to Maisy. Janine did not say anything. She did giggle though when Maisy flipped Susan off with both hands after her quip. Through the rest of their meal, Janine stayed quiet for the most part. The pair got to know her some, and found she roomed in the same building as they did. After finishing their meals, the three parted ways again. Maisy headed for the bookstore, Susan deciding to take a self-guided tour of the campus, and Janine heading to the registrar to work on minor changes to her schedule. Susan was grateful for this time alone. She finally could spend some quiet time to adjust to her new surroundings. She was still unsure if she could room successfully with Maisy. Maisy was the complete opposite of her. Plus, she was terrified of Maisy finding out about her past. There were many skeletons she did not want found, and with how inquisitive and loquacious Maisy was, there was a good chance she might. Susan was scared. There were some secrets she did not want revealed while here. Maisy seemed to be the open-minded sort, accepting of all sorts of people, but Susan knew from her high school days that even those people had limits. She wondered where Maisy's would be. With everything she and Maisy had to do, they did not return to their room until later that night, around 10 pm. Maisy was laying on her bed when Susan got back, her headphones on and her computer open on her stomach. Susan was very tired and grabbed her towel to grab a quick shower before bed. She was grateful the showers were empty. She quickly stripped down, still watching if anyone entered. Scared someone would enter at any second, she quickly ducked into a stall and washed as quick as she could. Problem with being so tall was that it still took time for her to get clean. She looked around again before shutting off the water and grabbing her towel. Just as she finished drying, she heard the sounds of two people walking in. Scared they would see her like this, she dressed quickly, not caring she wasn't fully dry, and rushed out before they came in. Her heart was still hammering in her chest when she got back to her room. When she returned, Maisy was also getting ready for bed. "Jeez, Suz, you're freaking panting. What happen someone try to feel you up in the showers?" Susan looked with annoyance at Maisy, then her face changed to shock as she finally saw how Maisy was preparing for bed. To Susan's delight, and horror, she was stripping down. Susan felt that stirring in her loins again, and quickly dove beneath the covers before Maisy turned to look at her, then turned back to face her bed. Susan could not stop looking at Maisy as she got undressed. She gasped when Maisy removed her underwear, now completely naked. She did not put anything on afterwards, just getting in bed. "You sleep naked?" Susan asked. Maisy grinned. "I love being naked. I'd do it in more places if it wasn't illegal. I hope this doesn't bother you." Susan said nothing. Maisy took that for an agreement and got under her own covers. Susan's loins still throbbed, the image of Maisy's naked ass still fresh in her mind. It still was at the front of her thoughts when Maisy shut off her bedside lamp. The lights now out, both curled up into bed. "This is going to be Hell." Susan worried in thought. "Not only do they give me a roommate who is nothing like me, but someone who's hot and sleeps naked." She was very worried now. It was going to be hard to hide her attraction to Maisy. This was the pattern the next few days until classes started. Susan spent a good amount of time with Maisy and Janine as they got ready for classes to begin. Susan got along very well with Janine. Both of them being the shy type, both knew how to tactfully approach the other. Maisy seemed to not know the proper way to engage with introverts. Janine was shyer than Susan and Maisy seemed to hover around her all the time. Susan was sure Maisy was attracted to Janine. She was not jealous. Maisy fawning over Janine would stop her from seeing Susan's attraction to her. While Susan definitely found Maisy hot, she could not see getting into a relationship with Maisy. Maisy was too unlike her. By their third day on campus, most of the older students began to arrive. Soon tables and banners all over for various clubs and teams and societies began to pop up. Susan had no intention of joining any of them. She just wanted to go to class and get these four years over with. That changed the day before classes started. Inside the student center, the many Greek organizations on campus had begun their rush drive. Susan was walking with Maisy and Janine. All three paid them no mind, until Janine and Susan stopped suddenly when Maisy broke off and was seen standing at the table for a sorority. It was named Alpha Alpha Mu, and to Susan's delight, there was a whole cadre of pretty girls at this table. Maisy was chatting up a pretty short girl with a very large chest. Susan felt so flustered as she walked up to her roommate, wondering why she had come to this table. She was almost to Maisy when a voice called out to her. "Hello, interested in joining our Sisterhood?" was all it said, and when Susan turned to face it, she was struck dumb. Standing before her, the source of the voice, was the most beautiful girl Susan had ever seen. She was so small compare to Susan, but her figure was just to die for. Large but well sized breasts, a slim torso and flaring hips. She had lovely eyes, very vibrant and full of life. Her hair looked very soft and silky. Her smile was probably the best part. It was positively brilliant. She also had very kissable lips. To Susan's delight, she saw a black equal sign tattooed on this girl's right forearm. Susan blushed hard as she viewed this girl, her heart fluttering as she stood stock still. "Hi, I'm Angelique, the Oracle, or president, of this chapter." She said. Susan barely registered, taking Angelique's hand as she offered it. Susan trembled as her hand grasped this lovely girl. "She's absolutely gorgeous. Plus, she just might be into girls." Susan thought. She was so nervous, barely able to hear what Angelique was telling her. She felt her loins throb as she took in Angelique, and fear filled her worrying Angelique would notice. She never seemed to, and by the time she finished talking to Susan, which Susan couldn't remember what she said, Susan was trembling and flushed. "I think I'm in love. Her name is perfect, she looks just like an angel would." She thought. Susan was still flustered when she joined Maisy again. Maisy had stopped talking to the really busty girl and was now talking to Janine. To Susan's surprise, Janine had a wide smile on her face. "So you're definitely in? You're going to try to pledge?" Maisy asked Janine. Janine nodded happily. "I am. She, well Annabelle is her name, said they need more girls like me. Not A girl like me, but more of them. I feel so welcome already. I've never felt like that." Susan was happy to see Janine so excited. "Well, I came to college looking for adventure, and I hear some salacious rumors about what happens in sororities. This one is the only one that doesn't seem stuffy or pretentious. I definitely want in. How about you, Susan?" Susan jumped as Maisy put her on the spot. "I don't think so. It's just not my kind of thing." Maisy was sad to hear this. She wanted her roomie to join with her. "C'mon Suz, join with me. I don't want to go at this alone. You're the person I know best here. I promise, I won't quit unless you do." Susan looked down. Yes, they said on their pamphlet they accepted all girls, regardless of their background, but Susan wondered if they'd really accept her. Was it true or just what they said to attract members? "Besides, I saw you eying up Angelique. You should definitely join, you could maybe get with her. She's totally got the gay vibe going." Susan blushed again as Maisy said this. It was true. She already had a crush on Angelique. Maybe if she joined she'd get a chance to get to know her, maybe even ask her out. Maybe, and this was a long shot, date her. It was a risk, but a feeling deep down told her to take it. "You know what? I will." Susan said confidently, surprising even herself. Maisy smiled and hugged Susan. "Glad you're on board." Maisy smiled. "I have a feeling this could be the best thing that ever happened to you." Susan did not know why, but she had that feeling as well. Maybe finally, she'd have the social life she always wanted. All three beaming, they signed their names to the sheet to show their interest. Angelique smiled at all of them as they did. Susan was so sure Angelique flashed a bigger smile to her than to Janine or Maisy. She blushed at this. It gave her a spark of hope, that maybe her attraction to Angelique was mutual. She could dream. The next morning, all three receive calls telling them they were to be at the Alpha Alpha Mu house this Friday night. The chapter would be hosting their annual Rush Party. This was where they would decide who they would let in. Susan and Janine were both nervous about this, but encouragement from Maisy stopped them from backing out. They were told to come in the front entrance and wait, then they would be let in to the party. They were also told to dress semi-formally and be prompt. The prospect of the party and beginning pledging were very prominent on Janine and Susan's minds even as classes started. Still, both were able to keep it in the back and focus on their class work. Such was not the case for Maisy. Already hardly able to keep focused, all that was on her mind was the party this Friday. She did not worry about getting in. She was sure she would make it. That Friday, nervous but excited, Janine, Maisy and Susan met in the dorm common room then made the trek to Greek Row and to the Alpha Alpha Mu house. It was a beautiful mansion, at least four stories, and ornately decorated. It was painted blue with all sorts of white trimmings. The front porch was very large, spanning almost the width of the front of the house. It was littered with outdoor chairs and tables, with a wooden porch swing at the right end of it. Many of the first floor windows were lit up, but the floors above all looked quite dark. Some lively music could also be heard slightly from outside, showing the party had already gotten underway. It was probably the nicest house on campus. The three stood in awe briefly at the structure. Susan and Janine were still nervous, but encouraging words from Maisy pushed them to walk in and take that first step into the Sisterhood. Susan blushed as Angelique greeted them, then ushered them into a side room, already filled with six other girls. One girl, called Courtney, had a very haughty air about her. Her blonde hair was perfectly done up and you could tell her clothes were all very expensive. Susan had an instant dislike for this girl. She was just like the cheerleaders and prom queens who made fun of her back in high school. Next to Courtney was a pretty brunette. Courtney was talking to this girl, but you could tell the girl was not interested in what Courtney had to say. She seemed to smile when a friend of hers, who called this girl Sonya, pulled her away and began to converse with her. Sonya "savior" was about the same size as her, but with slightly darker hair and much bigger breasts. "I know that girl." Maisy spoke to Susan, pointing at Sonya's friend. "She's in my Art History 102 class. Her name is Alex." Susan nodded and looked back at Alex and Sonya, now joined by a third girl. She was a very flighty type, and seemed to be flirting with every girl in the room. Susan almost giggled when she heard Sonya tell this girl, Denise, to "fuck off." Susan laughed when she saw that Maisy had already joined in the mingling. She was talking to a girl almost as tall as Susan. Susan knew who this girl was. Her face was on few posters on campus. She was Daphne Long, the schools new starting center. Sisters in Love and Trust Ch. 01 "I never would think a girl like her would join a sorority." Susan thought. Daphne was accompanied by another girl from the basketball team, the point guard, but Susan could only remember her first name. It was Faye. Ten minutes later another three joined them. A small and pretty Asian girl Susan knew from her Chemistry class. Her name was Gina and she was brilliant. Gina did not seem to have come her with the other two. They were a pair of blonde haired, blue eyed busty twins. The way they talked, and the annoyed look Gina had being near them, told Susan these two probably had less brains between them than even Maisy had by herself. They must have been dumb, because both wore shirts with their names on the front, Annie and Angie. Susan could tell they were here on daddy's money. She wasn't sure, but she had a feeling these two sisters were more than just sisters, as the way they hung around each other seemed to be very close. "Dear god, are they incestuous or something?" Susan wondered. Turning away from the airheads, who Susan had to admit she'd probably be attracted to if they weren't so dumb, she slinked off to the corner to join Janine again. Both stayed quiet while they waited. After another fifteen minutes, a girl none of them recognized came in and told them to follow her. They followed the girl, whose name was Jaclyn, into the main room of the house. Angelique stood at the back in the center. She smiled as she viewed the twelve girls who were potential pledges for her sorority. There were a few Angelique knew already would not make the cut, but it was not just her choice, so it would depend on what her sisters thought. Susan blushed as she saw another small smile towards her from Angelique. "Welcome, girls. Tonight, we shall see who among you is worthy of joining our Sisterhood. Now, despite that, I want all of you to have fun. We are not here to judge you. We only want to see if you will fit in with us, with our Sisterhood. Now, enough talk, let's get this party started." Sisters in Love and Trust Ch. 02 Susan was still very anxious as the festivities began. She was thankful the music was not too loud, but she was still unsure if this party was where she should be. All through her teens, she had never gone to parties like this. Even as an adult, since leaving high school, she could not imagine being in such a place. She was very glad this was a dry party. She knew how she got when she drank. Too much and she'd spill some secret she did not want revealed. The last time she got drunk, it ended with two other girls beating the hell out of her, finding out she liked women and some other facts about her. Thinking of that always made Susan never drink. She did not want a repeat of that. Maisy, on the other hand, was in heaven. She was practically chatting up every girl there. She had come to like most of the active sisters who were here. None so far had rubbed her the wrong way. Of those who were seeking to join like herself, she had a few she hoped would not make it. The twins definitely. Maisy had always hated girls like them. Daddy's money paid for everything. Sure, her family had been well off too, but not like them. Maisy still had to earn some things. That Courtney girl she could do without as well. Courtney definitely had that air of self-importance. All she talked about was how rich her family was, her most recent hook up and how she'd soon marry some man who was handsome and richer than her family. Maisy really wanted to slap this girl. Janine was in similar spot to Susan. Sure, she had wanted to be here, but this was not how she expected they'd gauge her worthiness to join. What would they think of her, when she was so shy, anxious and withdrawn? She hoped this would not make them look down on her. She was still unsure how to approach anyone. She was so lost in her own thoughts she did not see someone come up to her side. She was shocked back when someone put a comforting hand on her shoulder. It was Annabelle, the girl who had convinced her to pledge. "I know you're nervous. Don't worry. We don't disqualify people for being shy. Quite a few of our Sisters were very much like you when they joined." Annabelle said to her, smiling slightly. "Just be yourself. We only want that here." Janine smiled more as Annabelle said this, then smiled wider when Annabelle hugged her. To Janine's surprise, she hugged back. "You'll be fine." Annabelle whispered as she released Janine and walked away. Annabelle's encouragement gave Janine the kick she needed, and she slowly walked to join in the party. Across the room, Alex and Sonya were chatting with another active Sister. This girl was named Amanda, and she was definitely a Class A flirt. Sonya and Alex could both see that Amanda was eyeing them both up. Neither minded. Alex was blushing a bit even. "I think both of you will fit in very well here." Amanda quipped. Sonya chuckled as she said this. "Are you sure you don't just want us in to get us in your bed?" Sonya retorted. Amanda laughed heartily. "Sweetie, if that was all I was after, I wouldn't need you two to join. I could have you both upstairs right now if I wanted." Sonya was mildly shocked at Amanda's brashness. "Don't mince words, do ya?" Alex giggled. "Why bother, girls like honesty. Why waste time with workarounds. If I want them, I just tell them." Sonya shook her head. "Well, sorry to disappoint you, but I don't usually go that way." Sonya said. Amanda shook her head, still smiling. "Too bad. Still, your friend here is more my type. I'm a total tit woman." Alex blushed more as Amanda said this. "You might be in luck there, Alex is a total lezzie." Alex looked angrily at Sonya and gave a light punch to her arm. "Don't be putting my business out for everyone." Alex whined. "Calm down roomie, I told you again and again this ain't back home. Not many here care if you prefer licking to sucking." Amanda nodded in agreement. They all turned their backs when they heard a loud "tut" behind them. They saw it was that Courtney girl. Amanda's brows lowered angrily. "She'll never make it if she's as homophobic as I think she is" Amanda whispered to Sonya and Alex. Both laughed. They already knew from earlier they did not want her here. Courtney did not seem to talk to anyone. She was roaming about the room, her back straight and her chest out, as if she was making a claim to territory. She did not smile as she looked around the room. This room was filled with no good people. Poor fools who thought they deserved to be among the rich and powerful, lesbians who were denying their natural call to mate with men. Courtney did not really like anyone here. She only had come because she knew AAM was the premiere sorority on campus. If she did not get in here, she knew she could pledge Alpha Sigma Alpha. That had been her mother's sorority. Her mother really wanted her to join that, but Courtney saw a good opportunity here to raise her status, so she would try here first. She was starting to wonder if this would be a good place for her. These people were too accepting of the poor and weak. Maybe AMA would be better after all. Gina tried her best to socialize with the other girls here. She was starting to wonder why she had considered pledging a sorority at all. It was not her style. As she talked with more of the active Sisters, her attitude started to change. There were many girls here like her, who cared about their grades and studies. The girl who had brought them into the room, Jaclyn, was one such sister. She got along great with her. She was currently talking to another active, an Asian girl who was quite chubby and short. She felt her heart go out to this girl when Jazmin told her she was adopted by white parents after her parents were killed when she was ten. Jazmin was much like her too, caring a lot about her academics. She admired Jazmin's major choice. "How do you deal with learning so much about other languages? It seems so complicated to learn the different styles and flows of languages." She said. Jazmin nodded. "It can be, but I've always been interested in how people communicated. My birth parents spoke Japanese mostly and my adoptive parents spoke French and English. So I came here already grasping three different languages in different families, so I wanted to learn more about them." Gina giggled. Her parents were Chinese immigrants but gave her an English name when she was born. "I only know English, and some Mandarin. I'll stick with my numbers and formulas. I like that they're more constant." Both laughed as Gina said this. Daphne was probably the most social of all the prospective pledges. She had never had trouble talking with others. She'd never have become the star athlete she was if she had. Team sports were very tough to play in when you were shy. She had seen a few girls on teams she'd play for have trouble playing through games because of their anxiousness to speak up. Right now she was talking with a fellow campus athlete. Stephanie was just like her. From a poor family, a promising athlete and a real go-getter. She liked to hear how ambitious Stephanie was. "The team has our first meeting tomorrow. Hopefully this is where the coach will tell us who she has picked for captain. I really hope it's me." Stephanie said. "You think you have a good chance?" Daphne asked. She herself hoped to one day be captain of the basketball team, but that would probably not be until next year, her final year. "I do. I've been with the team since my first year. I've never missed a game, I'm at every practice and I am a team player and a born leader. I am sure I'm the perfect fit." Daphne laughed. Stephanie looked at her incredulously. "Sorry, but your cocky attitude just made me laugh." Daphne said. "Don't mistake confidence for cockiness." Stephanie said. "I've worked very hard to get to where I'm at. I wasn't given anything on this team." Conversing with Stephanie was really changing Daphne's opinion of joining. She looked over at Faye, who had not said much during this conversation. "You've been quiet, Faye, what's up?" She asked. "I don't really know if I can make the commitment to this. I just got my starting position and I still need to prove I'm worthy of keeping the job. Between that and my grades, I don't think I could commit to this, at least not this year." Stephanie nodded hearing this. "Don't worry. If we feel you're not fit this year, we may let you come back next year." Faye smiled at this, but she was still unsure if she would even try next year. She was only here because Daphne had asked her to come along. She wasn't sure if Greek Life was the place for her. Over back near the center of the back wall, Susan had finally worked up the courage to talk to Angelique. She had to get to know this beautiful girl. Something about Angelique made Susan's heart skip a beat. Her heart hammered in her chest as she walked up to Angelique. "Hi." She said nervously to her. Angelique turned to face her, smiling. "Hey, I was hoping you'd come. You seemed so nervous. I'm glad you decided to try us out." Susan blushed as Angelique said this. Could she be right? Could Angelique like her back? It was too early to tell, but she had to at least try to find out. "I was nervous. I've never really been a social person. I probably would not have come here if it weren't for my roomie." Susan said. Angelique smiled. "I should probably thank her later then." Angelique teased. Susan's heart jumped hearing this. "Don't worry, not that way." Angelique quipped. "I've done my share of hookups, I'm looking for a real relationship now." Susan blushed as she heard this. Maybe it was true, maybe Angelique did like girls, and she wasn't just an ally. Susan had to know. "I know this may sound very personal, but I saw your HRC tattoo. Tell me, are you a lesbian or just an ally?" Angelique smiled again. "I'm a lesbian. Out and proud. I don't care what people think of me for that. I like girls and I'm not ashamed of it." Susan smiled deeply inside as she heard this. "Does your family and friends know you're gay?" Susan asked. Angelique nodded. "Everybody back home who knows me knows I'm gay. For the most part, my parents accepted when I came out and told them I was gay. The only thing they did not like is they were sure this meant they'd never had grandchildren." Angelique sighed, then looked down briefly. "They were really the only ones who accepted. Where I grew up, people were very old-fashioned. I came out publically when I was sixteen. I lost a lot of friends then. I'm not sad about that. If they can't accept that I'm a lesbian, then they're not my friends." Susan felt a tear in her eye as she heard this. She had faced similar problems back home, though hers had been much worse. She had endured a few beatings from her peers when she came out, and not just from the girls. Susan told this to Angelique, and she almost smiled when she saw the pained expression on Angelique's face. She didn't tell Angelique the full story. Not yet. She wanted to know Angelique better before she laid out her whole painful past. They soon heard the house door open and looked over to it. Angelique smiled and shook her head when she saw who had come in. Susan's mouth gaped when she saw this girl. Her tits were ENORMOUS. Susan had never seen boobs that big in real life. "That's Melanie, our chapter "slut"." Angelique said, air quotes around the word slut. "Hopefully you won't yet see why we say that." Susan laughed and watched as Melanie walked up to them. "Hey, Ang, I see you guys have already started getting to know the new girls. I'll be back in a second. I need to get into something more comfortable." Melanie said, before turning towards the stairs and quickly walking up, removing her jacket as she entered her room. She briefly turned back to face Susan before she went up. "This one is a tall drink of water, that's for sure. I wouldn't mine climbing that mountain." She quipped, and giggled as Susan blushed. "Don't worry about her. She flirts with everyone. She can't go one day without fucking somebody. I hope she doesn't mean what I think she means when she said "something more comfortable." Angelique said nervously. Susan was stunned. What could Melanie possibly mean? She put that in the back of her mind as she resumed her conversation with Angelique, surprised at how easily she opened up to this girl. As they talked, Susan saw Angelique's eyes widen as she heard someone come downstairs behind her. "Oh dear, not again." Angelique said in exasperation. Susan turned to face where Angelique was looking and got the shock of her life. That busty wench they had chatted earlier had come back downstairs, but that wasn't what made Angelique upset. No, it was the fact that Melanie had come downstairs completely naked. Susan blushed as she saw this, clamping her legs again. Until she came here she'd never seen another girl naked, now she'd seen two in the last week. "I tell her again and again, PLEASE PUT SOME CLOTHES ON WHEN NON-SISTERS ARE IN THE HOUSE. Does she listen? Nope. I know she's a nudist and all, but seriously." Susan chuckled. "She's always like this?" Susan asked, still laughing. "Unfortunately." Angelique sighed, her hand going to her forehead. "She claims to be a nudist, but most nudists I know don't flaunt the way she does. I think she's an exhibitionist, she probably gets off on being seen like this. We've tried for the last four years to get her to tone it down. No luck." Susan could not hold back anymore, and just started laughing. There was just something so funny about this whole situation. She could not believe there was someone so carefree about being naked in front of people she did not know. Many around the room looked on in shock when Melanie came back down. Most of the potentials were so shocked she was so brazen about being naked around other people, everyone except Maisy. Maisy could not stop staring at Melanie's naked form. "Damn, and I thought I was brave." Maisy thought. "If I wasn't so concerned about making a good impression, I'd join her." Maisy licked her lips admiring Melanie's body. "She's a hot one, and her tits are huge. I'd love to go to bed with her." Maisy thought. She had a feeling that with Melanie's current state of dress, in such a public setting, it would not be too hard. Maisy was glad there was someone as free spirited as herself here. She HAD to get to know this girl and walked right up to Melanie. Melanie saw her approaching and a wicked grin spread across her face. "Hi, I'm Maisy." She said to the naked girl. To Maisy's shock, instead of taking Maisy's offered hand, Melanie pulled Maisy to her and kissed her. Maisy could not move. She was still stunned when Melanie pulled away. "Let's skip the banter, gorgeous. You want to take me to bed." Melanie teased. Maisy was stunned. "Don't worry, you weren't obvious. I've taken many people to my bed over the years, I can see "bedroom eyes" a mile away. Besides, I think you're pretty nice looking, so the desire is mutual." Maisy's breathing labored as Melanie said this. Melanie smiled lustfully and leaned in to Maisy's ear. "Follow me." She whispered. Maisy could not respond, she just let Melanie take her hand and followed her upstairs. Her eyes were glued to Melanie's naked ass. It shook and bounced enticingly before her, and without thinking Maisy reached forward and took a hard squeeze on Melanie's butt. "Mmmmm, someone is eager." Melanie whispered teasingly. Maisy just blushed as she said this. Her mind fogged by desire, she did not even notice when she entered Melanie's room and when Melanie closed the door. Back downstairs, Angelique saw this and shook her head again. "I think your roomie just got ensnared in the Melanie Web." Angelique said to Susan. Susan looked back and watched as Maisy went with Melanie into her room. "Don't be shocked. She does this every party. She's a total nymphomaniac. She has someone in her room every damn day." Susan looked at Angelique with a curious look. "She does that every year. Every rush party she takes a potential to her room. Looks like Maisy is that girl this year. She's definitely got Melanie's vote. Melanie always upvotes whatever girl she takes to her room." Susan started laughing again, her hand over her mouth as Angelique told her this. She had a good feeling about being here. Maybe, just maybe, with how open and honest with each other these girls seemed to be, she could finally find a place where she was truly welcome. This could be the place where she could finally open up. "I'll have to thank Maisy later, for convincing me to come here." She was also pleased to see Janine walking around chatting everyone up. She'd only known her two weeks but Susan had never seen her so open and talkative. Seeing Janine like this made her smile. This could be good for both of them. Back in Melanie's room, Melanie had Maisy up against the wall, fiercly kissing Miasy and both feeling the other up. Maisy was moaning hard. Melanie was one hell of a kisser. When they finally broke for air, Maisy was panting and gasping. "God, you're a damn good kisser." Maisy said, she was about to say something else, but Melanie put a finger to her lips. "Skip the talk, honey. We both know were only here to get some action. We'll get to know each other later." Maisy purred as Melanie said this, then quickly put her lips back to Melanie's. As they continued to kiss, Melanie led Maisy to her bed and laid Melanie on it. Soon, Maisy was buried under Melanie, which is when Melanie again broke their kiss. Maisy whined, but Melanie paid it no mind, instead scooting up Maisy until her shaved mound hovered over Maisy's face. "I'd love to spend more time like this, but we don't have much time. I can't be away from the party all night. So, how about we make this a quickie and later on have a little more... intimate time together?" Melanie teased. "Mmmm, sounds good to me." Maisy replied, then stuffed her face into Melanie's quim. She was happy to see that Melanie was already wet. "Damn, this slut tastes good." Maisy thought as she munched on Melanie's center. Melanie was moaning slightly as Maisy ate. She began to writhe above Maisy, shocked at how talented Maisy was with her tongue. She wished she had more time to enjoy it. It had been a few weeks since the last time she had a girl who was good at eating her out. She then shoved Maisy's face deeper and ground her mound against the poor girl. Maisy just moaned, attacking Melanie with all she was worth. "Oh, FUCK!" Melanie gasped. She could feel a good come arriving, and she was shocked Maisy could bring her off so quickly. "I'll have to let this girl have another go, she's good." Melanie thought. To Melanie's shock, after only ten minutes of feasting, Maisy got her off. It was not hard, or long, but it was enough to take the edge off for tonight. She quickly got off Maisy and knelt on the floor by Maisy's hips, grinning. Miasy had just sat up when Melanie spoke. "Before we go back down, let me return the favor." Melanie whispered before kneeling and shucking Maisy's shorts down. "Eeep." Maisy yelped as the cool air washed over her suddenly bare butt and pussy. She was amazed that Melanie removed her panties with her shorts. She didn't feel that for long, as soon Melanie's warm face and tongue were buried in her snatch. Melanie's lovely tongue bath got her gritting her teeth in pleasure quickly. Melanie was a very good pussy pleaser. "Fuck, you're good." Maisy grunted, her eyes shut hard with pleasure. "Get me off you fantastic slut." She yelled, and Melanie grinned hearing this. Most girls would hate being called such a thing, but Melanie did not care. She was a slut, and she was proud of it. Sisters in Love and Trust Ch. 02 It did not take long for Melanie to get Maisy off. She was only returning the favor, she didn't need to give Maisy anything spectacular. Still, she did want to give her a teasing taste, something that would make Maisy come back for more. Just like Melanie, Maisy came quickly, only about five minutes after Melanie started. She knew she'd come back for more with this girl. It was too good a prospect to pass up. Once the wave of her orgasm passed over, Maisy gasped loudly as she finally caught her breath. "Mmmm, you lick pussy real good. You really know how to make a girl scream." Maisy mewed. Melanie laughed. "It's a gift. When you've taken as many girls to bed as I have, you really know how to make them squirm." Their lips came together again, sharing a last kiss. As they kissed, Maisy took one last hearty feel of Melanie's tits. Melanie moaned, then they separated and both left the room to return to the party. Sonya and Alex were still in shock at seeing Melanie take Maisy to her room. Amanda saw their amazement and chuckled. She walked between them and put an arm around each of them. "You'll get used to Mel. She's a total slut and I think she's made it her mission to fuck every Sister. Some just won't let her, since they don't do girls. I've been in bed with her a few times, she's a tremendous lay." Sonya laughed as Amanda said this. Though she normally did not go to bed with other girls, she felt she might let Melanie have a go at her. Alex on the other hand could feel herself getting wet thinking of her and Melanie in bed together. Seeing Melanie's actions sealed her decision to want to join. After years of hiding her sexuality, to be somewhere where she was accepted and could be open, it was a dream come true. You know, if she lets me, I just might go to bed with her." She said to the other two. Amanda smiled at Alex. "Trust me, there is no "if she'll let me", it's "when she'll let me" with Melanie." Alex trembled at this. Gina was equally shocked. She could not believe someone was so brazen about sex and nudity here. Melanie's behavior did cast some doubt for her if she'd still want to join. "Don't worry about Melanie." She heard Jazmin say behind her, making her jump. "Melanie is the only girl here like that. The rest of us are a little more reserved with our sexuality. I think Lucy, you'll meet her later, is the only one anywhere near as bad as Melanie, and she still holds back when she needs too." Gina chuckled. "Don't let Melanie dissuade you from joining, besides, once you get to know her, you'll see she's not so bad." Gina nodded. Yeah, she'd still give these girls a chance. Daphne was not as shocked as the other girls. She'd seen similar behavior with some of her basketball teammates. Some always did try to get the new girls into bed. She had avoided that. She was very frank with them, stating that she went for guys only. It did earn her some ill will from some of the other girls on the team, but Daphne wasn't going to have her position or standing with the team earned like that. The only way she was going to earn her spot was through her own talents. She hoped that if she was given the chance to join these girls, she'd never have to do anything like what some girls on her team had to do. After only an hour, most of the active sisters at the party could tell who they wanted to join their chapter. Not one wanted Courtney in. She was too haughty and pretentious for them. The rest of the potentials all had Sisters that wanted them in, but not all would have enough Sisters vouching for them to be allowed the chance to join. Two hours into the party, they stopped the music and told all the potentials to line up. "We will now decide who will and will not make it into pledging. We will be in the other room for the next thirty minutes deciding amongst us who we feel should join. When we have made our decision, we will return. All of you must be lined up again when we come back." Angelique commanded. The potentials all watched as all the active Sisters entered the room off to the side where they had waited before the party. The door closed and all the potentials just stood there, waiting for them to come back out. None tried to listen at the door, feeling they knew someone would try. Half an hour later, they all returned. The potentials all lined up. Courtney, Maisy, Sonya, Denise, and Gina were not nervous. They were sure they were in. The rest were varying levels. Susan and Janine were trembling, while others just looked on unblinking. They watched as Jaclyn handed Angelique a stack of papers. They did not have those when they entered the room. It was obvious these were their notes on who was in and who was out. Angelique cleared her throat and began. "We have made our choices as to who we will permit a chance to enter our Sisterhood. Please remember our choices are final, there is no appealing our decisions. All were made by a vote of the chapter. Everyone who made it got an affirmative vote from at least one third of the active Sisters." Angelique took one last look down the line, then raised the papers in front of her. "First, we'll start with those who did not make the cut." She said as she pulled her glasses from her front pocket. Angelique put on her glasses and looked upon the sheets of paper Jaclyn had handed to her. "Courtney. I'm not sorry to say we do not wish for you to join us. Not one Sister voted to let you in. That has NEVER happened in this chapter's history. I normally try to reign in my personal biases when dismissing potentials, but you are a unique case. You're air of "I'm better than you" and your constant downing of others is NOT welcome within our Sisterhood. Plus, I am NOT pleased with your homophobia. As a lesbian, I cannot stand people like you. It's obvious the only reason you're here is because we're the most affluent and have the nicest house. We have no need for people like you in Alpha Alpha Mu. Please leave." Many of the active sisters looked with shock at Angelique's remarks. Susan could tell by their expressions this was VERY out of character for her. Susan almost had to hold back a big smile, seeing someone as haughty and entitled as Courtney being told no, being put in her place. Courtney turned away silently and marched out of the house with an "I don't need you people" walk. "Good riddance." Susan thought. To her joy, she heard a few actives say this out loud. She jumped when she heard the door to the house slam shut. None of the actives seemed to care. Angelique shuffled the papers and coughed lightly to bring everyone's attention back to her. "The next denial, will actually be for two." The twins looked downcast as Angelique said this. They knew it was them. "I'm sorry girls, but your attitude does not fit with our code. It's obvious to most of us you two are not concerned with your academics. Scholarship is something we value highly in our Sisterhood. If you're not serious about your grades and academic standing, we simply cannot allow you entry." Both were angry as Angelique said this. "What about your chapter slut Melanie" they both said, pointing to her. Melanie walked out of the line and right up to them. "I may be a slut, I may fuck all the time and yes, I'm naked right now when there are people over, but I at least earn good grades. I may not care much for school, but at least I earn the marks to pass." Melanie turned away from them and walked back into the line. Susan and Maisy were sure they caught a purposeful shake of her butt from Melanie. The twins angrily walked out, stomping the whole way. Susan laughed at the fact that even in anger, they were still holding hands. "I don't think I saw them apart or without their hands held once." The remaining ten turned back to Angelique as she shuffle the papers again. "Denise, it is for that same reason we have decided not to let you in as well. You're flighty personality and constant flirting is bad for our image. Even Melanie and Amanda know when it's not the time to flirt. We're trying to lift women up in the world, and women like you bring us down. Also, we've seen your grades and they are just not up to par. I'm sorry." Denise looked down sadly as Angelique said this. Susan was sure she was about to cry. Maisy was right next to Denise and hugged her, then Susan heard a few sobs from her. She cried for a minute, then walked out. Susan saw a look of sadness on a few of the active's faces. It seemed they did not feel good about turning her down. Once again Angelique shuffled the papers. "There is one more who did not make the cut. We saved you for last because you are the only one who we will allow another chance. The other four, will not be permitted to try again next year." Angelique looked down the whole line of them. Each was nervous, afraid it was them. Angelique closed her eyes and sighed. "Faye, I'm sorry, but we cannot permit you entrance this year. You have all the qualities we desire in a Sister, and are a good person, but it appears to us that your athletics come first. Joining our Sisterhood is an intensive and long process, and we need to know it will be at the forefront of your priorities. If you wish to join us next year, please come back. You only missed entrance by two votes, and the votes against you were made reluctantly by some." Faye nodded, strangely not disappointed. She hugged Daphne before she left, wishing her good luck. Susan felt a wave of calm wash over her, as did the other girls. They had made it through the first part. Angelique smiled at the remaining girls after Faye departed. She then looked over to another Sister and handed her the sheets. The girl then took Angelique's place in the center of the active Sisters. "Hello everyone. I am Noelle Hase. I am the Chapter Educator. I will be guiding you through your education and pledging. Those of you who still remain, Sonya, Alex, Janine, Maisy, Daphne, Susan and Gina, are those we feel will work within our Sisterhood. For the next week, we will be spending time with you girls and wish to see you here next Friday to be assigned your Big Sisters. We picked you because we had the feeling you will commit to this. We hope we are right. You may all leave now if you wish." Sighs of relief flowed from the new pledges. None wished to linger, it had been a long night and they were tired. Daphne left first, practically running to her dorm. She had a meeting with the coach in the morning. Gina was next. Walking out, her book was open again as she briskly departed. Sonya and Alex left about five minutes after Gina, giggling and joyful at their acceptance. Last to leave were Maisy, Susan and Janine. All three were smiling. Susan was over the moon. She was sure now Angelique liked her as well. Maisy and Janine were conversing animatedly as they walked back to their dorm. Susan had never seen Janine so talkative. Susan was in her own world. She was on cloud nine right now. Once back at their dorm, Janine surprised both of them by hugging them, then practically skipping to the elevator. "Thank you so much for convincing me to go. I think this is where I need to be. I've never felt so welcome before." She said before leaving them. Susan smiled. She was very happy to see Janine so animated and alive. Maisy was too. She turned to look at her roommate, who still had a dreamy expression on her face. "You look very happy right now." Maisy laughed. "I am." Susan said. Maisy smiled for her roommate. She had a feeling this was going to be good for Susan. "This could be good for you, Suz. I think Angelique really likes you. You should ask her out. Maybe finally get a little action." Susan blushed as Maisy said this. "Not yet. Once we're in, then maybe I will. I really like her, and I think she likes me too." Maisy nodded. "I think so too. Give it time, Suz. I think joining these girls is just what you need." Arriving in their room, Susan was so giddy and over the moon that she barely noticed Maisy stripping down for bed. She didn't even dive into bed like she usually did when Maisy undressed. Maisy saw this, but all she did was smile. She hoped this would finally break her roommate out of her shell. More importantly, she hoped it would for Janine. Maisy could tell she had a thing for the cute, chubby girl, and she hoped she could become more than friends with her. Only time would tell. Susan was still smiling as she got under the covers. That night, she dreamed she was on a date with Angelique, and she almost whined as the dream ended right before Angelique kissed her. Susan was looking forward more and more to joining this sorority, if only to get closer to Angelique. It was too early to tell, at least now, but she was sure after how much they had talked last night that she was falling in love with Angelique. "I hope I'm right." She thought as she brushed her teeth. "I hope she likes me too. Just, will she accept who I am?" That was all that worried Susan. Hopefully she would. Sisters in Love and Trust Ch. 03A A new week had begun on campus. The seven new potentials of Alpha Alpha Mu were excited to begin their road to full membership. They knew it would not be easy, and knew there may come times they would wish to quit, but all seven were dead set on making it in. The active Sisters already had an idea of who would be the best Big Sisters for each one. Each candidate was instructed to interact and get to know her potential Little Sister. They had until Thursday. Thursday they would decide who got to be the Big Sister to who, and on Friday they would tell each potential who would guide them through the process. Each potential had three active Sisters selected as their potential Big Sister. Only Noelle and Angelique were not included in the selection, due to their positions as Educator and Oracle. Monday: Sonya: Sonya was the first to meet her potential Big Sister. Monday morning at breakfast, she was approached by Allyson. She was eating alone this morning as Alex did not have any early classes on Mondays. She saw someone approach her and looked up just as Allyson reached her table. "Hey Sonya, mind if I join you?" She asked. Her mouth still full, Sonya shook her head and gestured to an empty seat across from her. Allyson smiled and sat down. She hung her bag from the back of the chair, then faced Sonya. "I have to be honest here. I'm not just here for a friendly chat. As we told you on Friday, we're going to be meeting with each of you this week to see who the best fit as your Big Sister is." Sonya swallowed her food and looked at Allyson. "So I take it you're the first of the ones who they think will be best for me?" Allyson nodded. "That's correct. We decided that on Friday when we decided who would be allowed a chance to pledge. Each of you will be visited by three of us. One on Monday, another on Tuesday and the last on Wednesday. Thursday we'll meet and see who will work best for each of you. We're going to try to meet each of you one on one." Sonya had just finished her breakfast and saw Allyson had nothing in front of her, so she probably was finished as well. "Mind walking with me then? I have to get to my class in about thirty minutes." Allyson shook her head. "Happy to. Where is your first class?" She asked. "It's in Spratley." Sonya said. "Good, my class is there too." Sonya smiled and got up, Allyson following after her. As they walked, Sonya began to ask Allyson a few questions. "So how do you decide who will work best as Big Sisters?" she asked. "It's a bit of a process. We get to know you during the Rush Party, then we look amongst all active Sisters to see who fits best with who we picked. We try for three different people with each potential. We try for someone who is like you socially, someone in a similar major and someone who may be very different from you. We then see who you interacted best with and that person becomes your Big Sister. You'll find out more on Friday." Sonya thought about this for a few minutes. "So what makes you look like a good fit for me?" She asked. "They felt I'd be good for you as we're from similar socio-economic backgrounds and we're moderately social. Plus, though they didn't say it, I think it's because we're both straight. You would not believe how many lesbians and bisexuals we get in the chapter." Sonya laughed. "If what I saw at the party was any indication, I think I will. I don't mind though. I've kissed a few girls, and I don't mind doing so. I just prefer guys." As they walked down the campus to their classes, the conversation got more open and animated. Despite the difference in their majors, with Sonya in Chemistry and Allyson in Music Theory, they got along real well. Sonya was really taking to Allyson and already hoped Allyson would be her Big Sister. She even offered to tutor Allyson with her math and science homework when Allyson told her they were her weakest subjects. Allyson could not really help her anywhere. Sonya was not the musical type. She was terrible when it came to fine arts and for that reason usually did not take art type classes. Allyson did offer to help her if she ever did end up taking such a class. Sonya was almost sad when they reached Spratley, since her class was on the fourth floor and Allyson's was on the second. She could feel her and Allyson would be good friends even if she did not make it into the Sisterhood. "I hope I'll see you later." Sonya said to her as they parted. "Me too. I have a good feeling about being your Big Sister." Sonya smiled as Allyson said this. She knew she still had to meet the other two, but she had a good feeling her and Allyson were a good pairing. She'd see soon enough. Alex: Alex met her first potential Big Sister after her first class of the day. As she was leaving her Intro to Philosophy class, she heard someone call for her. "Hey Alex, wait up." She heard. She looked back to see Margaret. She remembered Margaret from Friday's party. She'd been very guarded about her past when Alex started talking to her. She finally got out of her that Margaret had recently come to terms with discovering she was gay. Alex understood that pain well. She realized her attraction to other girls when she was fourteen, but had to hide it because of how conservative her hometown was. She remembered how happy Margaret was when she told her she had faced the same problem years ago. Margaret was a little out of breath when she caught up to Alex. Alex had to giggle. "I think you need to exercise a little more." She quipped. Margaret looked incredulously at her. "I exercise enough, thank you very much." She retorted. Both laughed and started walking out of the building. Since it was nearing lunch, they decided to head to Milton and grab a bite. As they walked, Margaret told her the same thing Allyson had told Sonya earlier. "So why do they think you're good for me?" Alex asked. "Well..." Margaret began nervously. "The main reason is because of me recently accepting my lesbianism. I only recently realized, like I told you, that I like girls. I'm still unsure of dating another girl and I still have not come out to my folks. I know they probably would not mind, they're very tolerant people, but it still is hard." Alex nodded sadly. "I know. My parents are very conservative. They'd never accept that I'm gay. I had to hide it for years from them. I've never been on a date because I could never ask out anyone back home." Hearing this made Margaret feel better. It was always good to talk with someone who faced similar problems to you. Not feeling like bringing up painful memories, they quickly switched subjects. They mainly talked about what made them choose their majors. Alex told Margaret that she had picked hers mainly because of the attitude of folks back home. She wanted to understand more about what made people believe and follow certain faiths and rules. For Margaret, she had always been a history buff. She liked finding out more about past civilizations and societies. Both laughed when they joked about how hard it would be to find a job with their degrees. "I think you have a better chance than me." Alex said. "At least you could work at a museum or something like that. Who the hell needs a philosopher these days?" Both burst out laughing at this. "Oh please, plenty would listen to a pretty girl like you, I'm sure." Margaret spouted. She suddenly realized her gaffe and covered her mouth. Both blushed at this. Seeing the other blush made both laugh again. Both were glad they were able to brush this off. Soon both were chatting up again as they got to Milton. Margaret was very happy she felt so open around Alex. She had a hard time talking to other girls since coming out. She always feared she'd give off an "I want to do you" vibe with each one. She really wanted other girls to just see her normally, not some crazed lesbian on the hunt. Alex did not have this issue. Even back home she'd been a very social person. It was even easier here since she did not have to hide that she was gay. Once they got to Milton, they parted as Alex was called away by Sonya. Margaret felt a little sad at their parting. She wanted to spend more time with Alex. She wasn't sure yet, but she was starting to get the feeling she would like to be more than friends with Alex. She was worried though that Alex would feel put-off by her advances. She knew she'd have to take this slow. Maybe she could start dating Alex. Even if Alex did not feel that way, maybe she could help Margaret find girls who did. She'd have to wait and see. "Maybe, just maybe, this will work out." She thought. Janine: Janine did not see her first potential Big Sister until later that evening. She was at dinner like usual with Susan and Maisy when Stacy came up to her. She asked Janine if she could talk to her privately for a bit. Maisy and Susan had been visited earlier by their first potentials, Melanie and Krystin respectively, earlier that day. They knew what was going on and convinced Janine to spend a little time with Stacy. Janine was very nervous with Stacy. Stacy was beautiful, an aspiring model, and had a fantastic figure. Janine was fat and most people never had anything nice to say about her looks. She felt very insignificant around Stacy. Stacy could see this. She had seen it a lot back in high school. Many of the "less pretty" girls felt like this around her. She surprised many when she did not hold her looks over others heads. Stacy was smart enough to know one day they'd be gone and she knew that looking as good as she did was a blessing that could easily be taken away. It was part of why she never hung out with the other "pretty" girls at school. They were vain, they only cared about how good they looked and felt they'd always look good. Stacy had no patience for that. "I know you're uncomfortable around me because of how pretty I am, but don't worry, I'm not going to make fun of you or anything." She said as she patted Janine's shoulder. Janine eased up a bit from this. "So, what makes you girls think you'll be a good Big for me?" Janine asked flatly. Stacy sighed. "They think if I become your Big, it'll help you be more comfortable with your body, and make you more confident. To be honest, I don't think I can do that. That's more Anabelle's specialty." Janine did appreciate Stacy's honesty. She could already tell Stacy would not work as a Big Sister for her. "Just know though, I don't see myself as better than you because of my looks. Looks are temporary. There are probably many things about you that I'll never have, like your brains or good study habits." This statement made Janine smile. "I'll have you know, as photography is another passion of mine, I've done model work with girls like you." Janine looked in surprise at Stacy for this. "Yeah. During high school, for my photography class, I had girls that others felt "were not pretty" model for me. It did not go over well with many of my fellow students, but my teacher loved it. I may be a good looking girl, but I'm a big fan of the "body positive" movement. I had a girl similar to you in my set, along with a disabled girl, one who lost her arm and a girl with scoliosis." Janine nearly had a tears in her eyes hearing this. All through high school girls like Stacy had bullied her, but here was a girl like them, and she was super nice and accepting. "I didn't think girls like you were real." Janine said through tears. "I thought girls like you were something Hollywood made up." Stacy laughed. Maybe she could get through to Janine after all. After this awkward introduction, Janine was much more open to talking with Stacy. Maisy and Susan would love to see this. Both really hoped Janine would open up more and so far their trek into Alpha Alpha Mu was doing just that for Janine. Soon, Stacy excused herself. She was quite hungry at this point and needed to eat herself. "I didn't think at first you would work as a Big Sister to me, but now I think maybe it could work." Janine said to Stacy. Stacy was not offended. She had reservations herself about it. "Well, maybe we'll see. You still got two others who will interview you, so they might work better. All in due time." She said. Janine got up with Stacy and hugged her. "Thank you, for being so nice. I'm not used to girls like you being nice to me." Janine said. "Hey, not all us pretty girls are bitches, some can be nice." Stacy told her. They broke their hug and while Stacy headed for the food lines, Janine left the cafeteria and headed back to her dorm. A smile was on her face. Already AAM was showing her a completely new life. This might be the best decision she would make in her college career. Maisy: Maisy had her meeting a little before lunch time. She was sitting in Glasson, the student center, when Melanie came up to her. She had her eyes in her phone going over her emails from high school friends and a drink to her right when Melanie arrived. She noticed the shadow over her and looked up to a faceful of Melanie's huge tits. "Mind if we join you?" Melanie joked, seeing where Maisy's eyes were. Maisy didn't need to know why Melanie was here. Susan told her she'd been visited by Krystin an hour ago, seeing if Krystin would become her Big Sister. Maisy nodded and Melanie sat down in the chair next to her. Maisy laughed as Melanie sat down next to her. "What's so funny?" Melanie quipped. "It's just, well, the first time I saw you, you were naked. It's a little strange seeing you clothed." "Believe me, if I could be naked all the time, no matter where I was, I would be. I hate wearing clothes." Maisy giggled. She knew the feeling well. If she could be naked, she was. She wasn't as brave as Melanie though. Sure, she'd been naked at a party in high school, but she could not be naked around complete strangers all the time like Melanie. "How do you do it?" She asked. "How do you parade about naked around people you hardly know?" Melanie just smiled. "I'm very comfortable with my body, and that's not just because of my huge chest. I don't see anything wrong with being naked. We're all naked at birth. Why should being born change why it's okay? If people have problems with my nudity, that's their issue. I'm not ashamed of how I look. If I was fat or deformed I'd probably still be naked all the time. I don't see anything wrong with being naked. It's not even a sexual thing for me, it's just how I feel most comfortable. The only reason I'm not naked in public is because I'd get in legal trouble for it. If I didn't have to worry about that, I'd never wear clothes." "So I guess they picked you for me because of us fucking?" Maisy asked. Melanie giggled. "Yes and no. They usually pick me for whatever girl I screw, but also because you and I are both free spirits. They think we'll be good for each other. I think they hope you'll tone me down." Maisy laughed. "I don't think that's possible. You're as free as they come." Melanie nodded in agreement. They had a good talk together for half an hour, and got along well. Maisy still had the feeling Melanie wasn't really interested in being her Big. "So, I have to ask. You say you're a slut, and proud of it. How many people have you actually fucked?" Melanie beamed as Maisy asked this. "You'd never believe me." She said. "Try me." Maisy responded. She gulped as a wicked grin spread on Melanie's face. She reached for her soda and took a big drink to wet the dry spot in her throat. "I've been here for four years now. I've had many partners here, many more than once. Since I got here, I've taken 176 girls and 247 guys to my bed." Maisy spit out her drink hearing this. "Are you serious?" She said in shock. Melanie just laughed, she was used to this reaction by now. "I told you, I'm a slut. I like fucking. Come on, I fucked you the day I met you, and you're not the first person I've done that with, hell, you're not the fiftieth." Maisy's eyes went wide hearing this. "Look, I like sex, I like being naked. I'm a slut and I'm proud of it. It's not what most should do, but I'm perfectly okay with it. I lost my cherry when I was thirteen. I liked it and I wanted more of it. I've probably had at least 200 girls in my life and at least 400 guys." Maisy was struck speechless. Sure, she was a loose girl too, but not like Melanie. Melanie's actions made her blush. "Well, if it's what you like, who am I to judge." Maisy said. Melanie laughed again. "Look, I'll be honest with you. I don't think I'm good to be your Big Sister, or any other girls. I spend most of my time fucking and stuff like that. Being a Big requires a lot of commitment and they're supposed to help you get better grades and all. I'm not the type who can do that. You'd be better off with another Big." Maisy appreciated Melanie's honesty. She had a feeling that was the case, but she didn't want to upset Melanie saying it. Only ten minutes later the two parted company. Before Melanie headed off, she handed a slip of paper to Maisy. "By the way, the next time you want to hook-up with me, give me ring. I'd love to have another go at you." Maisy blushed as Melanie said this. She quickly saved the number to her phone, as she too would have liked another go at Melanie. Daphne: Daphne ran into Jaclyn, her first potential Big, after her first class. Daphne was surprised they decided someone like Jaclyn could be her Big. They were very different. Jaclyn was studious, bisexual and strict. Daphne struggled with grades and was straight. She also was not very strict. She felt quickly they would not be a good match. "Well, to be honest, they might think as your Big Sister I can help you with your grades." Jaclyn said first. Daphne was kind of offended at this. Sure, her grades weren't top notch, but she maintained them well enough to keep playing. Many people did not understand how tough it was for a student athlete to keep their grades up. "Look, no offense, but I think I maintain my grades just fine. I do well enough to pass and to keep playing. That's enough for me." Jaclyn nodded. "I understand that. I know how tough it is for athletes. My older sister played soccer at Emerson and she often needed my help to pass her classes. It was kind of embarrassing for her that her high school aged sister was helping her pass." Daphne actually had a laugh at this, which also made Jaclyn smile. "Yeah, she never could get over that I was the brains in the family." Both burst out laughing at this. Daphne never had that problem, she was an only child. "Let me just be clear, they're not trying to say you're not doing well enough when they say they want me to help you with your grades. You just have to remember that Nationals wants us to maintain a certain chapter GPA and sometimes girls like you get sloppy and bring us down." Daphne could see this. She'd lost some teammates over the years because their grades slipped too much and they were declared ineligible. Daphne knew that being a student athlete, she was a student first. She could not pin all her hopes on going pro. There were many nights since she came to college that she was up most of the night doing homework and projects despite being tired from practice. Sure, she sometimes struggled to keep her grades up, but she never had gone that far down. "I can see why that would worry them. But let me tell you, I've never become ineligible because of my grades, so I probably won't hurt you guys much, if at all." Daphne was glad to see this made Jaclyn smile. "I don't think you'll be a problem either. Like I said, it was more them than me that thought this. I probably won't be picked anyway. Officers are rarely picked as Big Sisters. Sure, my main job is done since we have our Pledge Class, but I still have to work for next year." Sisters in Love and Trust Ch. 03A Daphne was shocked to hear this. "You guys only pick new girls once a year?" Jaclyn nodded. "Yeah. Our pledge process is very long, and intensive. If we did it twice a year, we'd burn ourselves out. Plus, that way our new girls can focus on being part of our chapter, instead of helping then next class along." The ice now broken between them, Daphne and Jaclyn were actually getting along better. Still, both felt they would not be a good fit as Big and Little. Neither held this back from the other, but both were glad to see they could still get along otherwise. Jaclyn did offer to help Daphne with her classes still. Daphne agreed to that, she felt that times would come she might need it. After a good half hour the two parted ways. Jaclyn's next class was coming up and Daphne had to get an essay finished for her class later this afternoon. Both were in much better spirits with the other than when they first started talking. Susan: It was after her second class, near noon, when Susan met with her potential Big. Krystin bumped into Susan as both were leaving Hagert, the Arts and Media building. "Mind chatting a bit with me?" Krystin asked. Susan shook her head and set her bag down on one of the hallway study tables. Krystin did so as well and repeated the schpeil about why she wanted to talk to Susan that the other girls had heard. "The reason they thought I'd be good for you is that you and I are closer in age. Both of us came to school later than most other people do." Susan nodded hearing this. One of her biggest problems still on campus was that she was older than most other students. "How old are you?" Susan asked. Krystin already knew how old Susan was. "I'm thirty-one." Krystin said. "What made you start so late?" Susan asked. "I had a lot of personal issues. My family wasn't very well off, so college looked like a longshot. I worked a few jobs trying to save up. Unfortunately, I also got involved with a guy from one of my jobs and we ended up getting hitched. It was a very bad marriage, and we divorced after two years." Susan could see a pained look on Krystin's face as she told her this. Susan knew that look, and had a feeling Krystin's marriage had not been safe. "I know that feeling well. My parents divorced right before I finished high school. My dad wound up in jail for domestic abuse, plus the medical expenses and all my mom racked up for me prevented me from coming to school. Even after that, I wasn't comfortable being so far from home. Eventually my mom persuaded me to go to college." Krystin looked with sad eyes at Susan. "If you don't mind me asking, what was wrong?" Susan looked down silently. "I'd rather not say." She said quietly. Susan still was not ready to tell others about the last ten years of her life. A lot of it was still too painful and personal to divulge. Krystin saw this pain behind Susan's eyes and reached her hand out to Susan's, clasping it. "Whenever you feel like telling us, that's fine. We're very accepting in this Sisterhood. You'll see someday, we are very open with others and treat everyone respectfully. I learned that during my pledging, and it helped me so much. I don't think I would have made it through my first year without these girls." Hearing this made Susan smile. Still, she wondered if they would accept her. Both were silent for a few minutes, both saddened reliving those painful years of their lives. Krystin was the one who broke the silence. "So, seeing as you're a pretty shy person, I have to ask what made you think of joining our Sisterhood." Susan blushed at this. "Well, my roommate is the one who convinced me to join, she's a lot more social than I am, but she wanted me to join with her. There's another reason too." She said, blushing more. Krystin could see this, and a wicked grin came over her face. "You've got a thing for one our actives, don't you?" Krystin asked slyly. Susan nodded. "Who is it, I won't tell, promise." Susan was smiling and still blushing. She had a good feeling she could trust Krystin. "It's Angelique. She's the most beautiful girl I've ever seen. I tried for you guys hoping to get close to her. I hope she could be my Big Sister." Krystin smiled, but she had to tell Susan now that would not happen. "Well, I will keep your secret, but I have to tell you she won't be your Big Sister. The Oracle is never picked to be anyone's Big, as she has too many responsibilities to the Chapter, and she's the lead during Instatement Weekend." Susan was a little sad to hear this. "Don't worry though, I'm sure you'll have plenty of chances to get to know her. Plus, she is one of the girls who upvoted you last Friday. Don't tell anyone I told you that." Susan smiled hearing this. It gave her more hope Angelique liked her back. Even if Angelique could not be her Big Sister, there was still hope during her pledging she could get more time with her. A girl could dream. Krystin smiled seeing this happy look on Susan's face. She wished she knew how Angelique felt about Susan. She could see how much Susan fancied her and she wished she could give Susan some hint the feelings were mutual. The problem was Angelique rarely divulged details like that. Most of the chapter knew Angelique was now looking for her soulmate, but she never gave any details as to who she thought might be it. Krystin had a feeling Angelique might be into Susan, but she did not want to get this girl's hopes up and turn out to be wrong. "I hope I'm right." Krystin thought. "They'd make a cute couple." She took Susan's hand again and told her this. Susan smiled more, a happy tear coming to her eye. So far now she knew three people besides herself that hoped she would get together with Angelique. From that, given the personal details both had shared with each other, Krystin and Susan were quite easily able to talk to each other. Both had a good laugh, mainly about the dated references they would often make on campus that the younger students wouldn't get. Susan was happy to know there was someone else on campus who felt her pain of being the "senior citizen" on campus. They had another laugh mocking the "immature" things other students did. Susan was in high spirits when her and Krystin parted ways. "I hope you get in." Krystin said as they hugged goodbye. "It would be nice to have another old timer around." She joked. Susan laughed and stuck her tongue out at Krystin, smiling as she headed off to meet Maisy and Janine for lunch. Gina: It wasn't until all her classes were done for the day that Gina met up with Lucy, her first potential Big. Both were in the same Physics class. Lucy called to Gina as she was about to leave the lecture hall. Gina was surprised to see Lucy in the class. She had the impression Lucy was a very flighty type when she met Lucy at the party. Seeing the books Lucy was carrying, Gina was starting to think her impression of this girl had been off. "Hey, mind if we talk for a bit?" Lucy asked her. Gina had nowhere to go, so she felt there was no way to get out of it. Besides, they had said they would be meeting with them this week to see who would be their potential Big Sisters. She could not see though why Lucy would work as her Big. Lucy and her were quite different. Sure, it seems they were both very intelligent, but Lucy seemed to be the coasting type, unlike Gina who was very studious. Lucy laughed at Gina's apprehension. "What's so funny?" She asked. "You don't think you and I would work as Big and Little Sister. I can tell you now that you and I are a lot more alike than you think." Gina was shocked to hear this. "How did you know?" Lucy put her arm around Gina. Gina was a little unnerved by this. Lucy was definitely the touchy-feely type. "I'm studying Psychology. I've learned a lot these last four years about how people think and act. I could read it in your eyes." Gina blushed at this. She didn't think she had been obvious. "Look, I know you think because you're so bookish and I'm not we probably would not work, but I'm a great deal more serious about my studies than I let on. I'm trying to get into the Clinical Psych program here and I'm sure you know how competitive it is here. I actually maintain pretty damn high grades here. I rarely get "C"s." Gina was surprised more to hear this. She had been completely wrong about Lucy. "Sorry, it's just the vibe you gave off during the party made me think otherwise. I'm very sure I saw you sneak off and came back high as a kite." Lucy blushed. "Guilty as charged." She admitted. Gina's jaw dropped. "You toke up?" She asked. "What can I say? I'm a hippie, and my parents were too. I've been toking since I was ten." Shocked would not have been strong enough a word for Gina at this point. "How the hell do you keep up such grades then?" Lucy sighed. "It's a big misconception that weed makes you dumber or kills your memory. Even though I hit it often, I'm smart about how I do it. I don't drive when I'm high, unlike some people I know who think they drive fine when they're high. I never toke up before work or before a class. I only do it when I know I have nothing to do later and I usually keep it to in my home only. Just so I don't bug the other Sisters, I usually hit my bowl in the backyard of the house." Gina shook her head hard. She could not believe someone who used marijuana so often could be so serious and studious. "I guess I've been really misinformed about what weed actually does to people." She admitted sheepishly. "Well, a lot of what you heard is based on smear campaigns the drug czars and Big Pharma keep perpetuating. Still, it does hurt some people more than others. It's all in how you do it whether it hurts you or not. Like I said, I try to be smart about it. So far I have not been busted for possession or anything like that, but I try to keep safe about how I do it. I don't need my college career to go down the toilet because of something that really doesn't hurt me." Looking at the clothes Lucy was wearing, loose and flowing fabrics making up her blouse and skirt, Gina should have been able to see that Lucy was a hippie type. She'd never seen people like that at her high school. Then again, most of the people she went to high school with were people from money. She was one of the few at her private school there on scholarship. Most of the kids in her high school were the preppy type who were very pretentious. Lucy's lifestyle was a real culture shock to her. "Look, I'm a very open minded person." Lucy told her. "I don't expect you to accept me or anything like that. I just ask that in return for me not judging you that you don't judge me." Gina nodded. "I won't. It's just all new to me. There wasn't anyone like you where I went to school." Lucy giggled. "I don't think there are a lot of hippies these days. This is not the sixties or seventies. My parents were very into the scene. They never let it go. I mean come on, they named me after a Beatles song." Gina looked in surprise at Lucy telling her this. "Really?" She asked. Lucy nodded. "Yeah. My last name is Diamond. Like "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds." It gets worse though. Skye is my middle name. My initials are LSD." Gina giggled. "You poor soul." She said. The ice now broken, the two began to walk the campus back to their respective living quarters. Gina soon saw she had been completely wrong about Lucy. Other than her being quite preppy and Lucy being a hippie, they actually were very alike. She began to think that maybe Lucy could be her Big Sister after all. Maybe even Lucy could show her how to loosen up a bit. She was always accused of being uptight by others. She too was starting to see how joining AAM could benefit her. Maybe this was the key to finally breaking out of that shell she had lived in for so long. By the time they went their separate ways, Gina could feel a new friendship forming between her and Lucy. This made her smile. That night, the actives gathered to discuss each potential Big Sisters meetings with the potentials. The reports from each were good. Some felt they were meant to be a girl's Big. Others had their doubts and a few felt that despite the good rapport each had, they would not work being the girl's Big. There was still two more days, so there was still more interviews to go. The next day could make a huge change in who would end up mentoring who. Sisters in Love and Trust Ch. 03B Tuesday: All seven potentials woke up the next day eager to see who would be their next potential Big Sister. Sonya and Alex felt whoever came to them today would not be as good as who visited them yesterday. Gina and Daphne were both hoping for someone better. Sure, they'd gotten along with the first ones, but they both felt their potential Bigs had rubbed them the wrong way. Maisy hoped for someone a little more interested, as Melanie had seemed very apathetic about the job. Susan and Janine were the only ones who did not feel like today's candidate had to be better, or might be worse, than yesterday's pick. None knew when they'd be approached by the next one, they'd have to wait and see. Sonya: Jennifer was the next Sister the chapter had picked to be Sonya's potential Big Sister. Sonya met up with her after lunch, when she and Alex parted ways to their first afternoon classes. Sonya was just about to head to her Organic Chemistry lecture when Jennifer met up with her. Sonya giggled when she realized she had not noticed she shared the class with Jennifer. "It's a big class, so of course you would not notice one individual person." Jennifer told her, trying to defray Sonya's embarrassment. Sonya had to agree. There was at least one hundred people in this lecture. Sciences were popular majors at Miggs-Tristan. At least one third of Miggs-Tristan's student body were in S.T.E.M. majors. Jennifer did not need to explain why she had been picked for Sonya. Sonya already figured from what Allyson told her yesterday that the reason she was picked was because they had similar majors. "So what made you pick Biology of all things?" Sonya asked Jennifer. Jennifer smiled. "I was born with an uncommon genetic mutation. It "deformed" me so to speak, so I went into Biology to learn more about it and how it worked. I've had to hide it from a lot of people. One of the reasons I love being in the Sisterhood is that they don't care about how it presents itself. They accept me as I am. I never felt that before. Why did you pick Chemistry?" Sonya laughed at this question. "Where I'm from, people hate science. They're all the typical "science deniers" you hear about in the news. Everyone felt that since I'm a pretty girl, science was no place for me. I want to prove that I can be more than a pretty face. I always liked Chemistry. I like understanding how everything interacts with the world." Jennifer could not hold back her laughter. "I thought people like that were exaggerated. I never expected they'd actually exist." Sonya sighed. "Sadly, at least where I'm from, they do." Jennifer giggled. "I pity you." She quipped. "It's not so bad. I do have to keep quiet a lot when I'm home because they would all jump on me if I tried to use what I've learned here to prove them wrong. My family is very conservative. I'm the only liberal in my family. They all hope I'll "come around" one day. That's not happening. I'm trying to get a job somewhere far from home when I finish here. To be honest, I can't stand my family. How is it for you?" Sonya asked. Jennifer just laughed. "I see my mom a lot actually. She's the Chapter Advisor. She actually convinced me to join as she told me they'd accept me regardless of my disorder. I was apprehensive, but I found out during Instatement Weekend that she told me the truth. I was very happy about that. I haven't seen my dad in ten years. He divorced my mom when I was eight. He couldn't handle having a "deformed" daughter." Jennifer said sadly. It made Sonya kind of upset to see this. Sonya was surprised to see Jennifer perk up again after this. As they walked to their class, they talked about what problems they had with it and other classes they had to take for their majors. Both agreed that OChem was a hard class. Sonya saw as they talked that Jennifer seemed to listen more than speak. Jennifer told her she was a shy person. Having to hide her "deformity" for so many years made it hard for her to approach others. She told Sonya how before she joined AAM she rarely hung out with others outside of school. AAM had opened her up as a person. Despite the small amount of conversation from Jennifer, Sonya did find out that Jennifer and her mother were very close and that she had a best friend from her teens that knew of and accepted her disorder. Try as she might, Sonya could not seem to get Jennifer to divulge what she had. Arriving at their lecture, they decided to sit together and spend a little more time chatting before class began. They knew once the professor started lecturing they'd have no time to talk. Dr. Clarkson was notorious on campus for never-ending lectures. Sonya and Jennifer both laughed at the times they saw other students fall asleep from his droning voice. They did not have much time to talk after the lecture was finished. Jennifer's next class was in an hour, but Sonya's was just fifteen minutes from the time they left their lecture. Sonya had enjoyed her time with Jennifer, but she felt already that Allyson would be a better choice for her. She would see if tomorrow's candidate could top Allyson. Alex: Alex met with Nina, her next potential, right as she and Sonya met up at Milton for lunch. Alex was awestruck as she viewed Nina. The girl was beautiful. "She has to have modeled. She's gorgeous." Alex thought. "Hellooooo, Earth to Alex." She heard Sonya shout, which knocked her out of her daydream. She blushed as she realized she'd been staring. She could not help it, Nina was definitely the kind of girl she dreamed of dating, but always felt was out of her league. "Sorry." She said quietly. She blushed more when Nina just giggled. "Sonya, would you mind if Alex ate with me today?" Nina asked. Alex was surprised at how quiet Nina's voice was. "Sure. Just don't hog her all day." Sonya quipped. Nina giggled again and Sonya headed for the food lines. Nina and Alex did too, but to another station. Alex was glad to see that like her, Nina was careful about what she ate. "So, why you?" Was the first thing Alex asked Nina. Nina just blushed. "To be honest, I have no idea. We're not in similar majors. We're both quite social and we're from similar backgrounds. I really have no clue why they picked me for you." Nina said. She was quite for a moment, her tongue out over her lip as she pondered, then she spoke again. "I don't think it's because we're both lesbians. That's never a reason." Alex had a stunned look as she heard this. Both girls picked for her so far had been lesbians like her. She shook her head in exasperation, a bit miffed at this realization. "Geez, they gonna just pair me with other lezzies this week?" Alex asked. Nina laughed as she said this. "No, you got Amelia tomorrow. She still isn't sure what she is. She's done guys and girls, but still doesn't know what she prefers." Alex chortled. "So, two lezzies and a potential one. You know there is more to me than just that I like chicks." Alex quipped. Nina giggled again. "I know. Believe me, it was just coincidence that two of your potentials ended up being lesbians. We have quite a few in our Chapter, so the odds are good you'll have one as a Big Sister. It's kind of a tradition for us. When we were founded, most sororities wouldn't let gay women join. We were one of the few that did not bar them." Hearing this raised Alex's spirits. She knew that struggle well. Nina smiled after saying this. "That's kind of what convinced me to join. I know what it's like to have to hide who you are. I still have not told my parents. They're very old-fashioned. They want me to marry a nice man and give them grandchildren. I'm not sure they'd be too thrilled to find out their daughter is gay." Alex was stunned to hear this. It almost made her smile to talk with another person who had to hide who they were. She wondered though if Nina had to hide to the level she had. "Have you ever been with another girl, I mean like on date, not in bed?" Alex asked. Nina nodded. "I've had a few dates with other girls back home. Where I live, people are more accepting. I hate that I had to lie to my parents and act like I was just going out with friends." Alex looked down sadly. "At least you had that. I had to hide my lesbianism from everyone. Nobody where I'm from likes gay people. My hometown is as red as they come. It hurt me so much that I had to lie to everyone about who I am. They all still think being gay is a choice." Nina's jaw dropped hearing this. "It's 2016 and they still think being gay is a choice?" She said questioningly. "Yeah. You'd think a town in New England would not be like that, but even in blue states you have those red pockets who are very far-right. Unfortunately where I'm from is one of them." Alex whined. "Where are you from?" Nina asked. "Carrollton, New Hampshire." Alex answered. Nina shook her head as Alex told her this. "I heard of that town, the mayor was on the news a lot when the Supreme Court legalized gay marriage." Alex nodded. Despite the less pleasant nature of how their conversation began, Alex and Nina were actually quite a good match. Alex could not deny she was attracted to Nina. Still, she pushed the thought of asking Nina out away. She knew already Nina was out of her league. She felt that point was solidified when Nina confirmed she had been a model before. By the time they parted, Alex was now wondering which she'd prefer to be her Big Sister. She felt more of a connection with Margaret, but then there was how hot Nina was. She'd have to see who they would pick for her. Janine: Jazmine was the next Sister to interview Janine. Jazmine did not have any classes near any of Janine's, so she called her after her last class let out to meet up with her. Janine rushed to the quad to meet Jazmin, as her last class was still going when Jazmin called her. She did not receive the call, but got the voicemail. She was a little winded when she got to the bench Jazmine was sitting on. "Good, you got my voicemail. I was worried I'd have to call you again." Jazmine said happily to her. "I... almost... missed it." Janine said panting. Jazmine reached into her bag and handed a bottle of water to Janine. "Thanks." She breathed as she sat down. "Fat girls were not meant to run that fast." She said after taking a big drink and handing the bottle back to Jazmin. Both laughed about what Janine said. "So, did they pick you for me because we're both overweight?" Janine asked. Jazmine shook her head as she responded. "No, more that you and I both have been bullied for our size." Janine smiled hearing this. It had been her worst problem growing up. Everyone always made fun of her for her weight. It really sucked because no matter how much she dieted, watching what she ate, she never could lose the weight. "I faced a good amount of bullying for my size. Nothing I tried to lose weight ever worked. I seriously considered going the surgery route, but my parents could never afford it." Jazmin hugged Janine when she said this. "I know what you mean. I was born very poor. My parents struggled a lot to take care of me. I was completely unplanned. My mom thought she was infertile, so they never thought they'd have kids. I gained most of my weight later in life. My parents were killed in a car accident when I was eight. I was adopted when I was ten, and my adoptive parents were much better off. I ate a lot because the food they fed me was so much better than what my birth parents could afford." Janine felt her heart sink hearing this. "I'm so sorry." She said. Jazmin was silent for a few minutes. "Thanks. It hurt a lot when they died. I was in foster homes for a while. My adoptive parents were my fourth foster family. My adoptive father was sterile from testicular cancer, so they became foster parents to fill that void. I guess they really liked me, because after just three months as my foster parents they put in the papers to adopt me. They never asked me to give up my birth name, which I was happy about." Janine could almost feel her eyes tearing up as Jazmin told her this. Not only had she been bullied for her weight, but she had lost her parents young too. This girl sure had it rough. Janine hugged Jazmine tightly. "I'm so sorry you had to go through all that." She said as she hugged Jazmin. Janine thought of her own parents as Jazmin told her story. Her parents were very supportive of her. They never forced her to try to lose weight or anything like that. She took a few ribbing from her older brother, but that was it at home. Despite both of them being in good shape, they never felt Janine should lose weight. They always told her she was just the way she was meant to be. "How did your adoptive parents treat you with your weight?" Janine asked. Jazmin giggled. "I think they purposely tried to fatten me up. They spoiled me rotten from day one. Any treat or something like that I wanted, I got. I guess they wanted to make up for not being able to have a child of their own. They'd always make little jokes like "soon you'll be ready for the oven" or "You're still too skinny, eat up." Jazmin giggled again. "I'm glad they never tried to make me into some perfect daughter they felt they were owed. I guess they were just happy to have me." Janine laughed along with Jazmin. She was glad she and Jazmin could get along so well. She certainly got along better with Jazmin than she had with Stacy yesterday. Sure, Stacy did not lord her looks over Janine, but Janine still felt insecure around her. She felt completely comfortable around Jazmin. She was almost sad when they parted. Janine had a lab report to finish for tomorrow, so she could not stay long. She was a little shocked when Jazmin hugged her goodbye. "Trust me when I say this. AAM is perfect for girls like you and I. I never accepted my weight until I joined. These girls helped me accept who I am." Janine smiled hearing this. She was very glad Maisy had convinced her to try for this sorority. Already they'd made her feel much better about herself. Maisy: Maisy had not even gotten through breakfast when her next potential approached her. Susan and Janine weren't with her right now. Her first class was later than theirs, so she slept in. She was shocked at the girl who came up to her. She was quite tiny in her figure, except for her height. She looked very young. "Hey Maisy." Hanna said to her. "Mind if I sit with you?" Maisy shook her head. She had only seen Hanna briefly during the party. As soon as she sat down, Maisy could not resist joking with Hanna about her young looks. "Are you even old enough to be in college?" Maisy joked. "Shut up!!" Hanna whined loudly. "I hate that I look so young. I get that joke at least three times a week. I don't see how Wendy likes how young she looks." Maisy had seen Wendy at the party too. She was very skinny and tiny, she looked barely older than a young teen. "Doesn't help I'm the youngest in the Sisterhood right now." Hanna huffed. Maisy snorted in laughter. "Oh get over it. Some people would kill to look as young as you." Maisy quipped. Hanna gave Maisy a dirty look. "I'm just messing with you." Maisy laughed. "Don't be so hard on yourself." Maisy had to laugh more as a disapproving whine was heard from Hanna, though her mouth stayed closed. "You can be a real bully, you know that?" Hanna said contemptuously. "Eh, not really." Maisy shrugged. "See if I upvote you again." Hanna thought. "So give me the skinny, why did they pick you for me?" Maisy asked. Hanna did not answer immediately. She was quite for a while, trying to think why she might have been picked for Maisy. "Don't really know. Big Sisters are supposed to help you get better grades and be a better student. I don't think I'd be that. I'm still trying to figure out what I'm doing with my life. I haven't even picked a major." Maisy was taken aback by this. "If you don't have a major, then what kind of classes are you taking?" Hanna shrugged. "Mostly Gen Eds right now. I don't really have an idea of what I want to do with my life. I just came to college because I knew my parents wanted me to go. I really have no plan yet." Maisy shook her head. Sure, she was kind of lazy and all, but she at least had an idea of what she wanted to do with her life. She wanted to be an art therapist. Especially for young children. She didn't think her and Hanna would work out. "Are they writing me off?" Maisy thought. "None of my potentials seem interested." This disheartened her some. She really wanted to join these girls. Plus, if she wasn't in, would Susan and Janine stick around. She didn't want them quitting either. She could tell both needed something like this. Maisy had to admit she was quite put off by Hanna. It was strange really. Melanie was looser a girl than Hanna, but the way Hanna went about it was really rubbing Maisy the wrong way. Melanie acted like it was just what she did. She didn't brag about it or anything. Hanna on the other hand seemed to brag about her adventures. "Can we stop talking about your sex life for a bit?" Maisy said in exasperation. Hanna was stunned to hear this. "Sorry, I just thought from what Melanie told me you'd be interested." Hearing this stunned Maisy. "Look, I like sex a lot, not as much as Melanie but still a lot, but I know when to keep quiet about it." Hanna looked down cast as Maisy said this. "I'm sorry. I guess I'm just not cut out for being anyone's Big Sister. To be honest, I'm still shocked they let me in. I was a lot like Denise, but they still accepted me in. I guess it's because at least my grades were decent." Maisy felt upset at this. She could see it now. Hanna was very insecure about herself. No wonder she hated how young she looked and bragged about her sexual exploits. She felt she wasn't good enough. Maisy stood up and hugged Hanna. "Hey, there has to be something good about you if they accepted you." Hanna did not say anything. She just got up when Maisy let go of her and said her goodbyes, before walking away. Maisy was very sad to see this. She was very worried now she'd made Hanna feel worse. "I'm going to have a BIG apology to give soon, I just know it." She said to herself as she looked down, picking up her backpack. She was not at all happy how this meeting went. She really hoped whoever was picked for her tomorrow would be a good choice. She was starting to wonder if the Sisters wanted her in. She hoped she was wrong, she really wanted to join. She knew there was nothing she could do right now, she'd just have to wait until Friday to see. Daphne: Stephanie approached Daphne late in the day, when they met outside the rec center after their respective practices. Daphne chuckled that Stephanie had been selected for her. She already knew why. "Let me guess, they picked you for me because we're both student athletes?" Stephanie nodded her response. "Yeah. They felt you and I would get along well as Big and Little because we both are athletes and I would understand your situation best. I kind of hope I get picked for you. I'm in my last year and I have not had a Little Sister yet." Daphne had to wonder if Stephanie would have time to be her Big Sister. She had talked with Stephanie at the party last Friday and knew Stephanie was vying to be captain of the volleyball team. "Do you think you'll have time to be my Big?" Daphne asked. To her surprise, Stephanie nodded. "I'm almost certain my spot as captain is guaranteed, so I don't have to put much effort into that. I'm the best player on the team. I've won more games for them than anyone else, plus my stats speak for themselves. I never miss practice and I'm very dedicated." Daphne had a laugh as she heard this. Sisters in Love and Trust Ch. 03B "Lucky for you I guess. I just got the starting spot on the basketball team, and I know another girl is trying to take it from me. Problem is we're evenly matched, except I have two inches on her in height." Daphne could see already her and Stephanie would get along. Both of them were tall, competitive and kind of tomboys. "What got you into volleyball?" She asked. "I used to hate it actually. The first time I played it was in elementary school. I was very short then, so I had trouble making shots over the net. I went through a huge growth spurt in middle school. The first time I played after I finished growing, I found I enjoyed it a lot more. I played on my high school team and actually that was how I got noticed by a scout from here. I'm glad that happened. My family is quite poor so this was the only way I could go to college." Daphne knew that pain. She too had been poor growing up. "It's the same for me. I only can be here because of my scholarships. I've always been tall. Other kids used to tease me because I always towered over all the others. Until my freshman year of high school I was the tallest kid in school. A cousin of mine got me into basketball. He was a member of his high school team and he felt that if I got good at it, people would tease me less for my height. He was right." "Do you play any other sports?" Stephanie asked. Daphne nodded. "I ran track too when I was in high school. I did the 400, 800 and Long Jump. What about you, any others?" Stephanie laughed again. Daphne had to shake her head. Stephanie was certainly a giddy sort. "You'd never believe this, but I actually used to play football. My middle school was one of the only ones that fielded a team. I joined for the hell of it. Quite a few guys didn't want me on the team. I didn't stay on for long. I couldn't take the bullying. Guys can really be dicks sometimes." Daphne had to laugh at this. "Tell me about it. Most guys don't want to date me because I'm so tall. It sucks really. My last boyfriend didn't care, but that was probably because he was 6'8", so even I looked tiny compared to him." From this, it was quite easy for the two to converse with each other. Most of their conversation stayed on their sports, both comparing the challenges each faced in their sport with the other. Daphne was glad to see how well she got along with Stephanie. It made her feel better about joining, knowing that at least one other student had made it through pledging while being a student athlete. They didn't part ways until very late, after they had dinner together in Milton. Daphne already could see Stephanie would be picked to be her Big Sister. She hadn't gotten along with any other Sister this well. She doubted whoever she met with tomorrow would be a better match for her than Stephanie. Susan: Right after her first class on Tuesday Susan received a text from a number she did not recognize. Reading the text she saw it was from Angela. Susan knew she was probably asking to meet because she had been selected as one of Susan's potential Big Sisters. Susan had not really interacted with Angela at the party, but she remembered the girl well. It was not often you saw blue-eyed brunettes. Plus the fact that Angela was one hell of a dresser. Susan wondered how Angela would work as her Big, but she knew she had to meet Angela and give her a chance. Angela's text said she'd be outside Glasson around 11:00. Susan had fifteen minutes to get there, so she hurried there to meet Angela. Angela was already waiting for her when she arrived, dressed in tight blue jeans, a dark blouse with three buttons at the top, all of which were open, and black suede boots that went to mid-calf. Her hair was done up too, as were her nails and Susan almost chuckled seeing that Angela also had the new iPhone. This girl really liked to look good and fashionable. "Geez, I'm fine as long as my clothes are clean. This girl seems to think out every outfit." Susan thought. Susan nervously walked up to the bench Angela sat on and once near she announced her arrival. "Hi." Susan said to Angela nervously. Angela's eyes went off her phone and to Susan, which made her smile. "Hey. Great, you got my text. Sit down for bit, let's chat." She said happily. Susan was taken aback. With Angela's total fashionista appearance, Susan was not expecting her to be so friendly. Angela laughed at Susan's shock. "Yeah, I get that a lot. People like to think that because I dress so fashionably and that I take a lot of time with my hair and all that I'm some pretentious sort that thinks they're better than others. Actually, until I got here, I never dressed like this. My family is very poor, so I often had to wear second-hand clothes and had very basic phones." Susan's head tilted in puzzlement. "How the hell do you afford those clothes then?" Angela giggled. "Well, thanks to my grades in high school, I got some great scholarships that cover all my costs here. I work part-time basically to pay for my clothes and all. Plus, well this is kind of sad to admit, a lot of the clothes I have guys I date buy for me." "You some kind of gold-digger then?" Susan quipped. Angela shook her head. "I don't date guys because of what they can buy me. Just I often get guys who want to spoil me. It's funny really as most guys I date I never date them very long. I think the longest I dated any guy was a month. I'm just not ready right now to commit to anyone long-term." Susan was sad to hear this. She'd never dated anyone. She was too scared of what they would think of her. "I've never been on a date." She sadly admitted. Angela's jaw dropped hearing this. "A pretty girl like you has never dated? Even if you like girls, which I'm sure you do, I'm sure some would love to go out with you." Susan nodded at this. "I have been asked out by some guys and girls. I turn the guys down because I'm not into them. Girls, as much as I want to date them, I don't think they'd like me once they found out more about me." Angela hugged Susan after she said this. "I'm sure you'd be fine. You have to give people a chance. Some people are a lot more open-minded than you think." Angela could see Susan still had doubts. She really hoped now she'd be picked as Susan's Big. She had a feeling she could get Susan to be more open about herself. "Now look, I don't mean to sound presumptuous, but I'm almost certain I'll be selected to be your Big Sister." Susan tilted her head in puzzlement. "How can you be so sure?" She asked. Angela grinned. "Look, you're the shy type. We like girls to open up to others in our Sisterhood. Usually with girls like you we put them with girls like me. I'm a vivacious sort, and I think I can help you be more open to others. Just trust me." Susan hung her head. "It's not that I'm shy is why I'm so guarded. It's the life I had before I came here." Angela shook her head in exasperation. "Look, I know we keep saying we take anyone, and I've seen girls like you who doubt it. Trust me, we're the most open and tolerant sorority in the country. We've taken girls no other sorority would dream of taking. If you get in, you'll see for yourself. Some of our Sisters are people other sororities would find any excuse to bar, like Amanda, Jennifer, Jazmin and Kanya." Susan looked with wonder at Angela as she said this. "We take almost any girl in our Sisterhood." Angela said as she put her hand to Susan's chest, laying it flat against her heart. Susan blushed, seeing Angela's hand almost fully between her breasts. "Trust me. As long as this is good, we'll accept you no matter what. You'll be fine." Angela got up and grabbed her purse and backpack as she prepared to leave. "I know you have your doubts, Suz. If I become your Big, I'll prove to you that no matter what, we'll accept you in our Sisterhood. I can tell already you're a good person, and you care about others and making them happy. That's enough for us. There is nothing about you, and I MEAN NOTHING, that will make us say you're not welcome." Before she left, Angela hugged Susan one more time. "Trust me, you'll be fine with us." Despite not saying much to Angela, Susan's spirits were lifted as Angela left. Maybe it was true they'd accept her in AAM. She smiled at this. Maybe, against all odds, she just might find a place where she truly was accepted as she was. She had to find out. Gina: Kanya, Gina's second potential Big Sister, met up with her after her first class. Gina knew why Kanya had been picked for her. Both were engineering majors and children of immigrants. When she told this to Kanya she laughed and confirmed her assumptions were correct. "Well, you do have a bit of a leg up on me," Kanya said when she stopped giggling. "You at least were born here. I moved here when I was eleven." Gina shook her head. "I don't think that means much. I too grew up quite poor. The only reason I was able to attend Melson Prep was because I earned a good scholarship. If my middle school grades had not been so good, I would have been going to my local public school." Kanya smiled. "At least you had that. The only prestigious school near me didn't offer scholarships. I don't think I would have been accepted anyway. That school was unbelievably white." Both burst out laughing as Kanya said this. Gina could tell already Kanya was someone she could easily get along with. They had much in common as she came to find from chatting with her. Both were children of immigrants, dealt with racial prejudice back home, were from poor families and, to Gina's surprise, both were bi-curious. "Well, maybe we can find out together." Gina quipped. Kanya shook her head. "Sorry sweetie, but you're not my type." Gina blushed as Kanya said this. "Oh, so what is your type then?" She asked teasingly. "I'm not really sure. I can't tell yet what kind of girl I'd like to go to bed with. Still, I'm pretty sure you're not it." Kanya laughed again as Gina scoffed. "With any luck, my first girl will probably end up being Melanie. She's got some crazy goal about fucking the whole chapter before she leaves this place." Hearing this made Gina stop dead. "What the hell is that girl's deal anyway?" She asked. "Beats the hell out of me. She just always tells us the same thing. She likes sex and she's comfortable with her body. You would not believe how much trouble we've had with the strange people she brings back to fuck, and all the times she'd be naked when others are visiting the house. We practically had to force her to get dressed last year when the head of Greek Life visited the house. She's a very old-fashioned type and would have probably kicked us off campus if Melanie had not gotten dressed. Of course, she might have it out for us because she's an Alpha Sigma Alpha alum. We've been at odds with them for decades." Hearing this did make Gina wonder if joining would be a good idea after all. She had wanted to leave that high school stuff behind when she came to college. Kanya saw this worry. "Don't sweat it. We're in a ceasefire right now. Nobody's made a move in the last two years, so I think you'll be fine. Nobody wants to be the one to fire the first shot." This allayed Gina's fears some, but not much. Still, she wasn't convinced now suddenly to not join. She could tell all her Pledge Sisters were intent on getting in, and she didn't want to be the only one to drop out. The fact that there were girls like Jazmin, Jaclyn and Kanya in the chapter helped. Seeing there were others serious about their studies told her these girls could not be all bad. By the time Gina and Kanya split up, Gina could tell she really wanted Kanya to be her Big Sister. She got along so well with her and was glad to see someone with a similar outlook on life in the Chapter. Still, given what Lucy had told her yesterday, the odds were good Lucy or whatever girl she met tomorrow would be picked instead. She had lightened up on her view of Lucy, but she still felt they would not be a good match. "I really hope she's not my Big." Gina thought. The thought was out of her mind by the time she arrived at her next class, focused wholly on the lecture. She didn't even think about it the rest of her day. That night, the actives met again to discuss what had been gleaned during today's interviews. Already the Chapter had an idea of who would mentor some girls. Two of them the Chapter was pretty much certain the candidate had already met her Big Sister. It would all depend on what happened during the final interviews tomorrow. Sisters in Love and Trust Ch. 03C Wednesday: Today each potential would meet the last girl who might become their Big Sister. Maisy was looking forward to this the most. She really hoped whoever came to her today would actually be interested in mentoring her. Daphne, Gina and Sonya were pretty much set on who they wanted to be their Bigs. They doubted whoever they met today would top their choice. Susan was still unsure, she had liked both her potential Bigs. Alex and Janine were the only ones who still had a feeling the one they met today could be the best one. Sonya: Sonya heard her name called as she left her final class for the day. She looked back to see Amanda running toward her. "Uh oh." She thought. She waited and watched as Amanda caught up to her, panting a little when she reached Sonya. "So of all the people they could think would work for me, they pick the lesbian huntress." Sonya quipped. Amanda looked at Sonya, a bit miffed at her comment. "Sweetie, I told you on Friday, your friend would be more my type. You're a little lacking in a certain department." Amanda said as she put her hand to Sonya's tit. "HEY, WATCH THE HANDS!!" Sonya admonished, smacking Amanda's hand away. She was a little miffed Amanda had just groped her without asking. "Sorry, sometimes I forget to be a little more cautious. The Sisters never seem to mind when I do that." Amanda said, laughing a bit. Sonya rolled her eyes. "Anyone ever tell you you're insane?" Sonya asked. "Eh, it's not the worst thing I've been called." She responded, her eyes looking upward and shrugging. Sonya shook her head in exasperation. "This is not going to work, I just know it." She thought. "All right, why did they pick you for me?" Sonya asked. Amanda just shrugged. "I really have no idea. Our majors are not entirely similar, though we both are in S.T.E.M. majors. I'm pretty sure you and I don't need any help becoming more open with others. Really, I have no idea why they picked me for you. Maybe it was just so you'd have three potentials. Who knows?" Sonya was a little surprised to hear that Amanda was also in a S.T.E.M. major. She figured with how brash and loud Amanda was she was one of those who picked an easy major. "I never would have guessed you'd be in a S.T.E.M. field. What's your major?" She asked. Amanda just laughed. "I shock a lot of people when they find that out. I'm in Civil Engineering. I know with my party girl attitude and my flirtatious nature people think I don't care about school, but their wrong. I care a lot. I'm on my own now, so I have to take my studies seriously." Sonya was quite surprised to hear this. Maybe there was more to Amanda than she thought. "What do you mean when you say "You're on your own?" She asked Amanda. Amanda suddenly was quiet, looking down at the floor. "My parents disowned me about four years ago. They didn't like the choices I was making in life. Yeah, I had college plans and all, but it was choices in my personal life they didn't like." Sonya was shocked to hear this. "What did you do?" Amanda sighed. "It started when I blew the trust fund they set up for me. I wasted a good chunk of it on plastic surgery. They got really mad when I got these." She said as she hefted her breasts. "Those are fake?" Sonya questioned. Amanda nodded. "They are. I'm the only girl in the Chapter with fake tits. They weren't the only things I had done. When my parents found out, they hit the roof and kicked me out. I had enough of my fund left, and had withdrawn it before they canceled it, to live on my own before I finished high school. I've been very impoverished since then. It was hard to adjust to." Sonya's heart sank hearing this. She felt really bad now that she'd been so hard on Amanda. No wonder this girl was the way she was. She had been disowned by her parents for living the way she wanted to. Sonya's parents wouldn't do that, and they hated that she was liberal. She surprised even herself by hugging Amanda. Amanda jumped a bit. "I'm sorry. If I had known I wouldn't have been so hard on you." Amanda relaxed a bit. "It's okay. I know I can rub others the wrong way at first. It just takes time to get used to me. It's another reason I love being in the Sisterhood. They accept me for what I am and don't expect me to change. Unlike my parents." Letting their hug go, Sonya looked up and down Amanda's body. "So, what else did you have done?" She asked. Amanda blushed. "Quite a few things actually. Some work on my face, mainly on my lips and cheeks. Had a few pounds injected into my hips. A bunch of stuff." Hearing all this made Sonya wonder what the hell Amanda had looked like before her surgeries. She also wondered how bad it had to have been that her parents would disown her for it. She tried to find out, but Amanda was very guarded about it. "If you make it in, I'll tell you all about it." Amanda promised. That was one of the same things Jennifer had said. Sonya was starting to wonder just what kind of people this Sorority let join. Still, by the time she was done chatting with Amanda, she did have to admit her opinion of the girl had changed a lot. "By the way," She said to Amanda as they parted, putting her mouth to Amanda's ear. "Next time you want to feel my tits, ask first." She teased. Amanda was struck with shock, as Sonya ran off laughing. Alex: Amelia called Alex later that evening. She asked Alex to meet her in the library. Alex had a feeling not much would come from meeting with her. She and Amelia had barely spoken at the party. She had to wonder why Amelia had also been chosen for her. Then again, Nina did not make much sense either. It seemed only Margaret had truly meshed with her. Still, she had to meet Amelia. Maybe there was more to her than Alex thought. She texted Sonya to tell her to go to dinner without her. Once the text was sent, Alex grabbed her stuff and walked from her room across the campus to Grassley, the school's library building. Amelia had said she was on the third floor in a quiet study room. Alex rushed there, hoping to get this interview over and done. Entering the room she saw quite a few books stacked next to Amelia. Three of them were open. Alex quietly walked over to Amelia. "Hi." She said quietly. Amelia jumped hearing Alex's voice. "Damn, you scared the hell out of me." Amelia panted, her face flushed and her breath ragged from the jolt. "Sorry." Alex said demurely. "It's okay. I guess I was a little too focused I forgot I asked you to meet me." The two looked silently at each other for a moment, then both giggled as the tension broke. "Sit down, have a seat." Amelia requested, closing her books after marking the pages. Alex took the seat next to Amelia, setting down her purse and all. "So, what's with them assigning you to me? And don't say it's because you're unsure of your sexuality." Alex asked. To Alex's surprise, Amelia laughed. "Well, I really can't say why I was picked for you. Maybe because our majors are similar, as we are both in liberal arts, so to speak. That's about all I can figure." She said. Alex breathed a sigh of relief hearing this. It was nice that at least one girl wasn't picked for her just because they were also lesbians. "I was worried after talking to Nina yesterday that I'd have nothing but lezzies for my potential Bigs." She quipped. Amelia blushed at this. "Well, I could be one too, you know. Then again, I'm still really not sure what I like." Alex tilted her head in puzzlement. "How can that be? Have you never gone out with anyone?" Amelia shook her head. "No. I have had dates with guys, and with girls, but to be honest, sometimes I enjoyed them, others I did not. That goes for both. I really can't say what I like. There have been times I thought I was gay, other times I was sure I was straight. It's weird because you expect by your late twenties you know what you like." "Well, that's true for most, but some realize later in life what they prefer. Trust me, just because I realized early on I like the fairer sex doesn't mean everyone does so quickly. Remember, Margie didn't realize until she came here she liked girls." Amelia smiled. "Trust me, there's no pressure. It's your life." Amelia's smile grew wider hearing this. "Thanks for telling me that. I know it's stupid, but seeing so many people sure of what they like, I sometimes wonder if I'm a late bloomer or slow." Alex shook her head. "You're fine, trust me." To Alex's surprise, Amelia stood up and hugged her. "I didn't expect this, but I really needed to hear that. It's hard to talk to others about that. I guess I just feel abnormal because despite my age I'm still figuring myself out." From there, their conversation bloomed greatly. Alex had come to see that she had been right, there was a lot more to Amelia than she thought. She was stunned to find out that despite her major choice, Amelia confessed she was not as smart as she seemed. She admitted it took a lot of studying on her part to maintain the grades she had. "I wish this school stuff came to me as easy as it does to Jaclyn. She's as grade conscious as me, but she's much more intelligent. I wish I had her brains." Alex laughed. "Don't beat yourself up so much. Grades are nothing more than a pointless metric. I've met some really brilliant people that never did well in school, and I've met idiots that excelled. Grades are not the best indicator of intelligence." Amelia smiled again hearing this. Half an hour later, Alex dismissed herself, stating she was starving. As soon as she was out of the room, Amelia cracked her books again. Alex left the meeting with a big smile. Before she came, she was sure she wanted Margaret as her Big. Now, she felt it was a toss-up between her and Amelia who she really wanted. She'd find out in a few days who she'd get. Janine: Janine was eating lunch alone today when her last potential approached her. She looked up from her food to see a face that made her smile. It was Annabelle, the nice girl who had convinced her to try for the Sisterhood and made her feel more welcome during the Rush Party. She felt a warm feeling go over her as she saw Annabelle smile at her. "Mind if I join you." Annabelle said sweetly. "No, not at all." Janine stammered. She blushed a bit. She was not used to someone as pretty as Annabelle being so nice. Sure, Stacy had tried, but it did not seem as genuine as it did with Annabelle. Janine did not need to ask why Annabelle had been picked for her. She already knew why. What shocked Janine even more was how easy it was to talk to Annabelle. She always wore a kind smile that made you feel at ease. Janine could not think of anyone she could be so verbal with, except maybe Susan and Maisy. Janine just had to know what made Annabelle so kind and generous. "Why are you so nice?" Janine asked Anabelle. Anabelle smiled and then got out of her chair and hugged her. "It's the way I was brought up. My mother taught me from my earliest days the best thing you could do for others was to be someone they could trust and someone who could help them. Since she died, I felt the best way to honor her was to do as she always taught me. I know I'm a beautiful girl, people are always telling me that. I want others to see themselves the same way. Not everyone can be attractive, not everyone can be brilliant or artistic or athletic. We all have things that make us great. How we look shouldn't be the only thing we're valued for." Janine felt her heart sink as she heard this. She did not know about this part of Annabelle's life. "If you don't mind telling me, how did she die?" Janine asked sadly. Annabelle looked down for a bit, then spoke. "She had breast cancer. She found out pretty early, but sadly she had multiple malignant tumors. She lived for about five years after it was discovered. I was almost fourteen when she died." Janine's jaw dropped hearing this. "How can you seem so happy when you've dealt with such pain?" She asked. "I'm not always happy. I can be most of the time, but there are days where the pain can overwhelm me. I've struggled with depression since her death. I was the youngest of five, and I was her only daughter, so she was very close to me." Janine watched as Annabelle rolled up a sleeve on her shirt, shocked to see various scars on her arm. "I cut myself a lot after she died. I was very depressed and looking for release. The last time I did it, I nearly died. Thank god my oldest brother found me. I was put in a mental ward for a few weeks after that." Janine could feel tears coming to her eyes hearing this. This girl, this sweet and caring woman, had been through so much. She hugged Annabelle hard. She almost smiled when Annabelle hugged her back. "That event is when I started living like she told me to." Annabelle said when their hug broke. "The doctor in my ward knew my actions were from her death. She talked with me at length about my mom, and convinced me the best way to bring her back was to live as she taught me. Thanks to that, though I still have depressive episodes, I don't cut anymore. I won't lie though, sometimes I do feel like doing it. It takes work to convince myself not to. The Sisters usually help." Hearing all this was actually reaffirming Janine's decision to join. She'd been apprehensive, she'd had her doubts, but after these last three days she knew now she wanted in. If this Sorority was made up of people like Jazmine, Stacy and Annabelle, it was the perfect place for her. Tears came to her eyes, tears of happiness. She hugged Annabelle again. "You know, I had my doubts about joining, but hearing about how the Sisterhood has treated you and Jazmine, and that there are people like Stacy in it, it makes me feel this is where I need to be." Annabelle smiled again. "I hope you do make it in. I have a feeling I can help you a lot." Janine nodded and smiled. By the time Annabelle left, she was certain she wanted to be in, and she really hoped Annabelle would be her Big Sister. Maisy: Juniper was the last girl to interview Maisy. Juniper was about to call Maisy when she bumped into her in the Art History section of the library. "Well, ain't that convenient? Just as I'm about to call you I run into you." Juniper said. Maisy laughed as she heard this. "I remember you. You're the girl I talked to the day I signed up at your little table." Juniper laughed as well. "Yeah, that was me. That's not why they picked me for you though. It's because you and I are very similar. Both of us are in Fine Arts majors. I'm a party girl, just like you, but I still do well in classes. I think they hope that having me as your Big Sister will help you learn how to get good grades and still party." Maisy smiled as she heard this. Juniper seemed genuinely interested in being her Big Sister. "I'm kind of glad to hear that. After the girls I had the last two days, I was scared you girls didn't want me to join." Juniper hugged Maisy. "Don't worry sweetie. We do want you in. If we did not, we would have told you back on Friday. I can understand your worry though. I don't know why they even let Melanie interview. She's never been any girl's Big Sister, she doesn't want to be. Hanna just joined us last year, and she hardly knows herself to help someone else. With all that, I'm pretty sure I'm going to be your Big, and trust me, I want you to join us." Maisy felt a few tears come to her eyes as she heard this. The last few days she began to wonder if the Sisterhood wanted her, and now she was getting a sign they still did. Maisy could not help eye up Juniper's body. She had to admit Juniper was nice looking. She had nicely large tits, not ridiculously like Melanie, a sweet smile and puffy lips. "Hey, eyes up here." Juniper quipped, pointing with two fingers to her eyes. "Eeep." Maisy yelped, embarrassed she was caught staring. As soon as her eyes met Juniper's again, she noticed Juniper was struggling to hold back a laugh before bursting out. "I'm just messing with you. You're not the first person I've caught eying me up, or the first the feeling wasn't mutual." She teased. Maisy laughed herself. "Geez, do you just hookup with anyone who eyes you up like that." Maisy said, maybe a little hopeful. "Not entirely. I have slept with quite a few guys who've done that to me, but only if I found them good looking enough. What can I say? I like sex, but I'm still choosy somewhat with who I go to bed with." Maisy shook her head. "That cannot be good for any relationship you're in." She said. Juniper looked down sadly. "It isn't actually. I've never really had a long relationship. Most of mine end very quickly. I have a hard time staying faithful." Maisy's jaw dropped. "Really? What makes it so hard for you?" Juniper shook her head and shrugged. "What can I say? I'm cock-crazy. I can't keep it in my pants." Maisy giggled. She knew that problem. She had strayed a few times herself with those she dated. "Let me ask you, ever been with another girl?" Maisy said teasingly. Juniper smiled back wickedly. "A few times. I don't mind it, but mostly I prefer guys. Sometimes thought I'm in the mood to have another lady, but it's not very often." Maisy felt herself getting wet hearing this. "I hope it's not taboo to try to fuck your Big." Maisy thought. "Hopefully I can find her when a mood strikes her." She thought devilishly. Maisy had no doubts now that Juniper would be her Big Sister. She didn't mind that at all. She and June were like two peas in a pod. Maybe June could also help her get better at studying. Also, maybe she could get June into bed. Maisy was really looking forward to June being her Big. She was in much better spirits by the time her and June parted. She felt so much better about how the Sisters viewed her now. "I really hope you'll be my Big." Maisy said as she and June hugged goodbye. Juniper smiled, then surprised Maisy by giving her a quick kiss. "Don't worry, I'm sure I'll be." Maisy was too stunned to respond as Juniper ran off. In a daze, Maisy left the library and headed back to her dorm. She had a feeling it was going to be easy to get Juniper into bed. Daphne: Wendy met with Daphne before she left breakfast that morning. Daphne was about to leave the cafeteria when Wendy approached her. She was stunned at how tiny Wendy was. She usually felt big around others, but being almost a full foot taller than Wendy made her feel gigantic. She almost could not believe Wendy was old enough to be in college. She was so tiny and thin that she looked like almost like a preteen. Daphne had to close her eyes and shake her head to make sure she was not seeing things. Wendy quietly giggled as she watched this. "Yes, before you ask, I am old enough to be in college. I'm just very tiny." She said. Daphne had to blush, she didn't think she'd been that obvious. Wendy laughed again at Daphne's embarrassment. "Don't worry. I'm not offended. I actually like how tiny I am. My girlfriend loves it too." She giggled. "Okay, I have to ask, because I'm sure we have NOTHING in common, why the hell did they pick YOU for me?" Daphne questioned. Wendy just shrugged. "I'm not really sure why. You're right, we have nothing really in common. I'm a homo-leaning bisexual and you're straight. I'm tiny, you're huge. You are very social and I'm actually quite shy. I'm kinda at a loss as to why they picked me for you. Still, some girls we've picked for Big Sisters have come out of left field, thought from what I heard about you with Stephanie, I'm very sure I won't be yours." Daphne did not know what to say to all this. Still, if she heard Wendy right, it seemed that Stephanie would actually be picked for her Big. This made her smile. She hoped she heard Wendy right. Sisters in Love and Trust Ch. 03C The two exited the cafeteria and headed for the rec center. Coincidentally both of their first classes this morning were there. Daphne had to admit she felt a little odd having Wendy walking beside her. She felt those old feelings come back, the days of insecurity about her height and wishing she was smaller. Wendy looked up and saw the anxious look on Daphne's face. "Are you uncomfortable walking with me?" She asked demurely. Daphne nodded. "I used to get teased a lot when I was younger because I was so tall. At least her there are other girls closer to my height. Being seen with you, since you're so tiny, makes me think of those days." She said sadly. Wendy looked down, but then to Daphne's surprise she looked back up at her with a smile. "Well, I know kind of how you feel. I was teased a lot in middle school for being so short. I didn't make it to five feet until my second year of high school. A lot of girls also made fun of me for my lack of boobs. I'm happy with how I look now, but I guess that envy of other girls is what influenced what girls I like." Daphne stopped and looked down questioningly at Wendy. "And what type is that, if I may ask?" She wondered. Wendy blushed. "Well, I really like tall girls. I can't explain it but I like girls who are big. I also really like busty girls. That's probably why I love Madeline so much. She towers over me and has such a big body." Daphne wracked her brains trying to recall if she met Madeline at the party. She recalled seeing one tall girl with a chubby frame. That had to be her. "You two are dating?" Daphne asked. Wendy nodded. "For the last two years now. She's why I love the Sisterhood so much. I met her because we were pledge sisters. I fell for her the moment I saw her. She is the sweetest, kindest girl I've ever met." Hearing this made Daphne smile. All through the last week she'd heard of how these girls had so many good things come their way because of joining. It made her more enthusiastic about joining this sorority. The two did not have much to talk to each other about and by the time they split off to head to their respective classes, their parting was kind of a non-event. Daphne was sure Wendy was given just to round out the potentials. She was certain now that Stephanie would be her Big. She did have to admit though, despite having nothing in common with Wendy and Jaclyn rubbing her the wrong way at first, she had not found any dislike for the other two candidates. Even back on Friday she still had misgivings about joining, but they were slowly disappearing. She knew now she wanted to join. Susan: Marissa was the last Sister to meet with Susan. It was after her final class that day that Marissa texted her to meet her outside of Glasson. Susan was across campus when she got the text, dropping off her stuff in her and Maisy's room. She quickly gathered her things and rushed across campus to meet Marissa. Upon seeing her, Susan's jaw dropped. This girl was the epitome of a spicy Latina, even more so than Maisy. To her embarrassment, she felt her loins stirring again and quickly clamped her thighs together, hoping Marissa would not notice. "Jeez, if it weren't for Angelique I'd start thinking I have a type." Susan thought. Once she was sure she'd calmed a bit, she walked up to Marissa. "Hi." She said quietly. Marissa turned to face Susan and smiled. "Hola, chica." She said, her voice thick with a Mexican accent. Susan was a bit stunned. Marissa started to laugh. "I'm just playin." She said through laughter. "I get people with that all the time. They think I'm some stereotypical Mexican girl. It's fun to fuck with people like that." Susan blushed and felt a bit ashamed about her immediate assumption of Marissa. "So, before you ask, I can tell you simply why I was picked for you. We're in similar majors. You're in Bio with a Pre-Med focus and I'm in Chem. Plus, being the social girl I am, I think they hope I can help you bust out of your shell. Angelique really pushed for that when we decided who would mentor who." Marissa said. Susan blushed hearing this. It was another clue telling her that her feelings for Angelique were mutual. Marissa giggled when she saw Susan's blush. "Dios Mio!" She exclaimed. "You hot for our Oracle?" Susan stayed quiet, but nodded. "She's the most beautiful girl I've ever seen." Susan said quietly. Marissa smiled. "Well, I can't be sure, but I think she might like you too. She was talking quite a bit about you after Friday. She didn't say anything as far as romance goes, but I get the feeling." Susan looked with hope at Marissa, but her face was asking how Marissa could be sure. Marissa looked Susan dead in the eye. "It's just a gift I have. I can usually spot when someone has the hots for another person. You wouldn't believe how many girls I've caught having the hots for me, and I don't usually do girls." Susan's face scrunched in puzzlement. "Look, I'll be straight with you. I could tell you wanted to jump me when you saw me. I don't mind, really I don't. I don't judge. I mean, like I said, I like dick, but occasionally I let a girl take me out, and I've let a few girls have me." Susan blushed again hearing this. It seemed to be true, Marissa did have a gift. Susan was starting to wonder if she could work with having Marissa as a big. Marissa seemed to be much like Maisy, and she was still getting used to having Maisy as her roommate. She didn't think she could handle being around two girls like that. Plus, it was hard enough hiding her attraction to Maisy all the time, she didn't want to be having that issue with Marissa too. Susan was so lost in her thoughts she nearly jumped when Marissa put her hand on her shoulder. "Look, I can see it in your eyes. You are unsure if we'll work out as Big and Little. Let me tell you now, I may be a bit talkative and all, but I had a girl like you last year for my Little. Sadly she didn't make it in, but she and I got along quite well. Trust me, if I'm picked for you you'll be fine." Susan smiled at Marissa. For the next half hour they chatted. Susan mostly listened, and found Marissa to be a real interesting person. To hear about how she was born in poverty and struggled before her parents became citizens, and how she tried her best to make sure she could secure a better life for her family by coming here lifted Susan's heart. "She really is nice." Susan thought. Still, of the three Susan felt by now she'd probably like having Krystin the most for her Big Sister. Susan soon had to excuse herself from Marissa. She had a lab report to finish for tomorrow and thankfully with Marissa also being a science major made her sympathetic to Susan's plight. To Susan's shock Marissa hugged her before she left. "Look, I can see right now you're still unsure if we will want you in from what you told me and what I heard from Angela yesterday. I'll repeat what Angela told you yesterday, there is very few reasons we'd bar you from joining. We're a very inclusive group. If you get in, you'll find out just how open we are about who we let in." Marissa's last comment made Susan smile. She could not wait for Friday to see who would be picked for her. Gina: Madeline met up with Gina in the student center just after her third class that day. Gina had not interacted with Madeline during the party last week, so Madeline approaching her caught her completely off guard. Madeline saw this. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to startle you like that. I should have called you or something first." She said, quite flustered. Gina patted her shoulder. "It's all right." Gina responded. She had to suppress a giggle as she watched Madeline's shoulders slump and see her sighing in relief. "So what is behind you being picked for me?" Gina asked. Madeline smiled straight at Gina. Gina was surprised to see how welcoming Madeline's smile was, and how soft her eyes were. "Well, mainly because you told us about wanting to break out of your shell. I don't know why but I've always been good at helping people with their problems. I've basically become the Chapter Mediator. Most girls in the Chapter come to me when they're having issues with each other or other people." Gina cocked her head hearing this. "Really?" Madeline smiled and nodded. "Yeah. I've got this gift I guess. I've always been a very empathetic person. I can't explain why but it seems no matter what problems people bring to me, I can always put myself in their shoes. That's why I picked Psych and Social Work. I want to help children and families who have difficulties." Gina did not speak for a few minutes. "How did that happen, any idea?" She asked Madeline. Madeline thought quietly for a few minutes. "I think I have some idea how that happened. I grew up in the south, and as I'm sure you're aware most of it is not a good place for a lesbian to grow up. I was very shy because I had to hide my sexuality from a lot of people. Thank God my parents weren't part of who I had to hide from. Anyway, because I didn't talk often, I did listen to a lot of other people's problems. Having lived with hiding my orientation, and my struggles with my weight, I could understand when other people had problems that seemed unfixable. I guess that's how I got this gift for helping others, but I may be wrong." Gina smiled at Madeline. "Well, that is a hell of a way to turn adversity into something good." Madeline nodded happily. "It is. I'm always happy I can help others deal with their issues. It makes me feel good knowing I've helped others get past their issues. I can't wait until I graduate and I can really start helping others." Gina could see already she liked Madeline. She was kind, she was open and she was thoughtful. It was hard for her to believe that just a week ago she was still having misgivings about joining. Even with girls like Amanda, Melanie and Lucy in the Sisterhood she was starting to feel this was where she needed to be. This was probably exactly what she needed to finally break out and be someone more social and fun-loving. Where she needed to be to get out of the rut she'd been in for most of her life. "You know, I had my doubts about joining before, but after talking with you girls this last week and at the party, I really think this is where I should be." She told Madeline. Madeline smiled and hugged her. "That's actually what many girls who join us think. Many are unsure or wonder if we're right for them, but most of the girls who join our Sisterhood feel that it was the best decision they made in college. I know it was for me. I found friends, I had a social life, and I met my awesome girlfriend. This was exactly what I needed. Trust me, it can be the same for you." Gina had no doubts now. Joining these girls was what would give her a new life, a much needed change. She hugged Madeline back. "I have to go now, I have another class in a few minutes, but thanks for meeting with me. I really hope I can join you girls." She said happily. "I hope you can too." Madeline told her. "I think our Sisterhood is just what you need." Gina smiled and nodded, agreeing wholeheartedly. Madeline bid Gina farewell and watched as Gina ran off to her next class. Gina was in very high spirits right now. Even with the potential of having Lucy for her Big, she was looking forward to being a part of this Sisterhood. For once, her mind was not on her class, but what awaited her if she did make it in. She was a little angry at herself for losing focus, but to her surprise she brushed it off. She was filled with renewed purpose. She had spent her first year here isolated and closed off. She wanted out of that. Joining these girls was just how she could finally bust out of her box and truly live. She could not wait for tomorrow to see who she was assigned. She still had a small smile on her face when she got back to her dorm that night. The interviews now finished, the Sisters convened once more to discuss who would work best for each potential. The discussion lasted over two hours. The next day, the Sisters went over all the notes taken on each girl and made their decisions on who would be each girl's Big Sister. It took most of the night, but by the late evening the mentors were picked and ready to go. Some choices were tough, others not so much. It was time for all the new girls to take the next big step in their path to Sisterhood. Sisters in Love and Trust Ch. 04 Thursday was a busy day for all the active Sisters. Now that the interviews for Big Sisters had been completed, it was time for the chapter to decide who would mentor who. They met on Thursday afternoon to determine who they felt was the best fit for each potential. Thursday night, after they conferred as to who would be the best Big Sister for each potential, Noelle contacted each one to tell them they were required to be at the house Friday night at 5:00 pm. She told them as well that this was a formal event and they were required to dress up. Each had to wear a skirt or dress, and formal shoes. It was preferred the dress be white. Friday after classes, all seven ran to their dorms to get dressed. Daphne apologized to her coach that she would miss today's practice. Thankfully the season was still months out, so it would not horribly hurt her standing with the team. She was warned though not to make this a regular occurrence. Susan got to her room before Maisy. She had made sure of that. She didn't want Maisy to see her undress, or in her underwear. She had no trouble finding a white dress. She had brought one along when she came here. It was a very simple dress. No frills or anything fancy, but it would work. Maisy was disappointed to see Susan already dressed to go when she got back. "Phooey, I thought I'd finally see you in your undies or naked." She pouted. Susan looked with annoyance at Maisy and flipped her off. Maisy did not have any white dresses, so she had to don a beige skirt and white blouse. The skirt just barely reached her knees. The blouse was also quite tight. Susan hoped the Sisters would not get angry that she was dressed so scandalously despite the formality of the event. Down the hall, Janine prepared as well. She had no white dress either, so she had to choose something else. The only skirt or dress she had was her old school skirt, the classic plaid schoolgirl uniform. She felt a little silly wearing something from high school to such a formal occasion, but it was all she had. Sadly it was a little tight on her, as she had gained a few pounds over the summer. Her roommate had not come back yet, so she quickly dressed in her room. Across the way, Sonya and Alex prepared for the event. Both owned white skirts and blouses. They undressed from their casual clothes and donned their outfits. Neither jumped at the other being naked. They had seen each other like this often enough already to lose any embarrassment this would normally bring. Both of their outfits were quite modest. Sonya's skirt was pleated, and Alex's blouse was missing a button at the top. She hoped this would not be an issue. Daphne only had her red dress, as she rarely wore dresses or skirts. It was the one she wore to banquets hosted or attended by her team. It reached mid-thigh, but wasn't very tight or revealing, so she felt it would work. She did not have to worry about undressing in front of others. Years of showering after practice had dulled any shame at being naked around others, and she had a room to herself in the suite at Miggs Commons she shared with three teammates. Gina's roommate was back when she arrived, so she had to change in their bathroom. She, like Susan, did have a white dress. Her dress was a little fancier, with lace frills on the edges and a sweetheart neckline. Dressed and ready, Susan and Maisy left their room and headed downstairs to the mansion. They met Janine in the common room and headed for the mansion together. At the exit to the residential campus, they met Sonya and Alex. They met up with Daphne and Gina near the house. Their hearts all beat with nerves as they arrived. They all arrived five minutes before 5:00. Jaclyn was waiting outside the door for them. "Welcome, potential Sisters." She said to them. "Please form a single file line and quickly and quietly follow me." As she turned, they lined up behind her and walked in to the mansion. Most of the house was dark, but the main room was lit by candlelight. They knew as soon as they entered the main room this was a very serious event. All the active Sisters were dressed very formally as well. To all the potential's shock, even Melanie was dressed formally. All seven were shocked to see this. "Melanie is clothed." Maisy whispered to Janine and Susan. Both giggled. They, and the other four, all expected her to be naked like she had been at the Rush Party. Even though they had only seen her parade about naked in the house once, it was still strange to see. All the active Sisters were gathered in the room in a tight throng. Angelique stood front and center with a red book in her hand, with Noelle to her right. Jaclyn stopped them a few feet from the group and asked them to line up side by side. As they lined up, Jaclyn walked over to the group, standing to Angelique's left. Once they were in line, Jaclyn nodded to Angelique. Angelique then faced the potentials and spoke. "Welcome girls. I am pleased to see each of you here. Tonight is actually about more than assigning you a Big Sister. The reason we asked you to come formally dressed is because this night is also Bid Night. Tonight, before we assign you your Big Sisters, we will be extending a formal bid to each of you. Before tonight, you were only considered potentials. After tonight, you will officially be pledges, or as some say associate members, of our Sisterhood." The seven potentials looked about each other in confusion. They had not expected this. They thought that the night of the party was the start of their pledging. It seemed that was not the case. Each grew nervous again, fearing they would not be extended a Bid. Angelique had seen this before. She hated each time she had to let a girl know she would not be extended a Bid. Except for a few girls last year, who turned out to only be interested so they could find a place to party and get drunk. That was not the image Alpha Alpha Mu wished to convey. They were quickly dismissed. "The party last week was only the beginning of your Pledging. The purpose of the party you attended last week was for us to meet each interested girl and to see if we felt she would fit with the ideals of our Sisterhood. During the last week, we interviewed each of you not just to see who would fit as your Big Sister, but to get an idea of if we were correct in assuming you would fit in with us. We voted last night to see who we felt would fit in our Sisterhood. To pass last night, you needed to receive upvotes from at least sixty percent of all active Sisters. I am very pleased to see that this year all of our potentials made the cut. It's been five years since all potentials were extended Formal Bids." Angelique and a few other actives quietly giggled as the potentials all sighed in relief. At least this was not the end of the line for them, not yet. Maisy felt the greatest sense of relief. She at least knew now they wanted her to join. It took a great weight off her shoulders. Angelique then turned to Jaclyn. "Sister Jaclyn, as our Recruiter, will you do the honors of extending Bids to our potentials?" Jaclyn nodded. "With pleasure, Wise Oracle." Susan giggled at this. She knew this was probably a prescribed ritual, but it did not make it less silly. Jaclyn stood in Angelique's place and received seven cards from Krystin. They were very beautiful cards. Off white, with gold trim around the edges. The words on each card looked to be hand-written. Jaclyn quickly sorted the cards, then walked up to the far left of the line, to Sonya. She too had a red book, which she opened and read from. "Sonya Sage, we of the Beta Iota chapter of Alpha Alpha Mu wish to extend an offer to Bid for our Sisterhood to you. Are you prepared to accept the challenges we will put forth for you to join, and do you accept our offer?" Jaclyn said to her. "I gladly accept." Sonya responded. Jaclyn then took the card with Sonya's name and handed it to her. She then stepped to the next girl, standing before Alex. She repeated the same lines, and Alex offered her acceptance. The same occurred as she then stepped to Janine, Maisy and Daphne. Despite knowing her answer, Susan was still nervous. She gladly accepted her bid, then watched Gina take her own. Jaclyn then turned to face the chapter. "Wise Oracle, the potentials here before us have all accepted our offer. They have now begun the path to Sisterhood." Angelique smiled and nodded, then turned to Noelle. "Sister Noelle, as Educator, I now ask you begin the Declaration of Mentorship." Noelle smiled and stepped to the center. Susan watched as Noelle opened another copy of the same red book Angelique and Jaclyn had read from. "We will now begin the process of declaring each Pledge Candidate's Big Sister. Each was chosen for you among the three who interviewed for you. Each was picked as the best fit for each of you. Sisters Allyson, Margaret, Anabelle, Juniper, Stephanie, Angela and Lucy, will you please step forward and line up behind your Little Sisters. Place your right hand upon the right shoulder of your Little Sister." The pledges watched as their Big Sisters stepped out from the throng and walked behind them. Maisy, Daphne and Sonya did not react when their Big Sister's hand touched them. Gina and Alex looked back then forward again, Susan and Janine jumped slightly. Noelle then walked up to Allyson and Sonya, then spoke. "Before we make the Declaration, we shall advise each of you as to why each Sister was chosen to be your Big Sister. For you Sonya, it was because you and Allyson came from similar circumstances and have lived similar lives. Though you are pursuing different degree paths, we feel the connection between you and Allyson is strongest of the three who interviewed you." Sonya nodded, then watched as Noelle read from her book. "Sister Allyson Von Tess, do you accept the task of mentoring Pledge Candidate Sonya Sage? Are you prepared to guide her into our Sisterhood and to assist her wherever and whenever necessary? Do you accept all responsibilities that we have conferred to you and do you accept all actions you must take as her Big Sister?" Noelle asked. "I accept this request, I fully consent to any and all responsibilities as Sonya's Big Sister." Allyson responded. Noelle nodded once, then turned to Alex and Margaret. "Alex, we chose Margaret for you as both of you are facing a shared challenge. Both of you are facing difficulties accepting your sexual orientation. We feel as a Sisterhood that not only could Margaret guide you on our path, but that you both could assist each other in coming to terms with yourselves. Little Sisters are as much a help to Big Sisters as the Bigs are to their Littles. We could not pick a better one for you that exemplified that." Alex blushed at this. She never thought she'd be helping her Big. She was happy to help Margaret. "Sister Margaret Dennings, do you accept the task of mentoring Pledge Candidate Alexandra Capaneli? Are you prepared to guide her into our Sisterhood and to assist her wherever and whenever necessary? Do you accept all responsibilities that we have conferred to you and do you accept all actions you must take as her Big Sister?" Noelle asked. "I accept this request, I fully consent to any and all responsibilities as Alexandra's Big Sister." Noelle nodded her ascent again, then turned to the next candidate. "We have seen throughout the time we have gotten to know you that you, Janine, are a very shy and withdrawn individual, with body image issues. Sister Anabelle has helped many girls, both in and out of our Sisterhood, accept themselves as they are. We feel she can do the same for you. She has already taken it upon herself to show you your inner beauty, along with guiding you to Sisterhood. We felt the best place she could help you is as your Big Sister." Janine looked back at Anabelle, a warm feeling coming over her as Anabelle smiled at her. She had to admit, Anabelle had a very heart-melting smile. Janine smiled back at her. With a nod, she turned back to Noelle. "Sister Anabelle Sussman, do you accept the task of mentoring Pledge Candidate Janine Evans? Are you prepared to guide her into our Sisterhood and to assist her wherever and whenever necessary? Do you accept all responsibilities that we have conferred to you and do you accept all actions you must take as her Big Sister?" Noelle asked. "I accept this request, I fully consent to any and all responsibilities as Janine's Big Sister." Noelle nodded again, then spoke to Maisy and Juniper. "You, Pledge Candidate Maisy, were the hardest to choose. We had a hard time choosing who in our Sisterhood could guide you. Picking which of your three would guide you was easier. Sister Melanie disqualified herself, and Sister Hanna is still figuring herself out. Sister Juniper was the only other Sister we felt would mesh with you. We hope, given that both of you are very social people, that Juniper can help you learn how to balance your studies and social life." Both Juniper and Maisy giggled as Noelle said this. Noelle just shook her head, then began. "Sister Juniper Davis, do you accept the task of mentoring Pledge Candidate Maisy Rivera? Are you prepared to guide her into our Sisterhood and to assist her wherever and whenever necessary? Do you accept all responsibilities that we have conferred to you and do you accept all actions you must take as her Big Sister?" Noelle asked. "I accept this request, I fully consent to any and all responsibilities as Maisy's Big Sister." With a nod, Noelle looked to Daphne and Stephanie. "The choice of who to guide you was the simplest, Daphne. Sister Stephanie, being an athlete like yourself, is well-versed in balancing her athletic commitments and the demands of our Sisterhood. We feel she is best suited to aid you in our process. We admit fully we were wrong in thinking you needed Sister Jaclyn's assistance in maintaining your grades, and we apologize. We hope you can accept our apology and know we were not trying to offend you." Daphne, like Sonya, just nodded before Noelle read again from her book. "Sister Stephanie Lee, do you accept the task of mentoring Pledge Candidate Daphne Long? Are you prepared to guide her into our Sisterhood and to assist her wherever and whenever necessary? Do you accept all responsibilities that we have conferred to you and do you accept all actions you must take as her Big Sister?" Noelle asked. "I accept this request, I fully consent to any and all responsibilities as Daphne's Big Sister." Susan shook a bit as Noelle looked at her and Angela. "Your case is quite unique Susan. Sister Angela requested she be your Big Sister. It is not often a potential Big Sister requests that she be chosen. She feels that she is uniquely qualified to make you a more open and social individual. She put forth a strong case to be your Big Sister, so we had little choice but to accept. Sister Krystin was our primary choice to mentor you after your interviews, but the case Sister Angela put forth changed many of our minds. Sister Krystin herself even acquiesced. It is for those reasons we selected Sister Angela as your Big Sister." Susan looked back at Angela, surprised someone would request her so fiercely. Angela smiled widely at Susan. She could swear she saw Angela mouth "I told you" to her. To her shock, Susan smiled back, then looked again at Noelle. "Sister Angela Marquis, do you accept the task of mentoring Pledge Candidate Susan Myers? Are you prepared to guide her into our Sisterhood and to assist her wherever and whenever necessary? Do you accept all responsibilities that we have conferred to you and do you accept all actions you must take as her Big Sister?" Noelle asked. "I accept this request, I fully consent to any and all responsibilities as Susan's Big Sister." Noelle then turned to the last pair. "Gina, we have to admit we were apprehensive about choosing Sister Lucy to mentor you. We felt after your interviews that Sister Kanya may be a better choice. However, you have told us throughout the last week or so that you yourself wish you could be more open, that you could break from the shell you have been in all your life. Sister Kanya and Sister Madeline are not as well suited to that task as Sister Lucy is. It is for that reason, despite your differences, that we selected Sister Lucy to mentor you." Gina looked back at Lucy. She was a bit miffed Lucy had been picked for her. Lucy just smiled, mouthing to Gina "Don't worry, we'll be fine." Gina knew there was no use arguing and faced Noelle again. "Sister Lucy Diamond, do you accept the task of mentoring Pledge Candidate Gina Tran? Are you prepared to guide her into our Sisterhood and to assist her wherever and whenever necessary? Do you accept all responsibilities that we have conferred to you and do you accept all actions you must take as her Big Sister?" Noelle asked. "I accept this request, I fully consent to any and all responsibilities as Gina's Big Sister." Lucy responded. Noelle nodded once more. Noelle then turned to face all the other active Sisters. "Let it be written, as witnessed, that these Sisters have willingly taken on the responsibility of mentoring our newest members. They have accepted the task of guiding each girl into our Sisterhood. They have accepted and consented to any and all actions they must undertake in their role as Big Sisters." Noelle spoke to the crowd. "Thus shall it be." The remaining actives said in unison. A few of the pledges had to hold back a giggle when they heard this. Noelle then turned back to the Pledges. To some Pledge's surprise, she closed the book. It seems the next thing she was going to tell them was from her own words. "You have now been assigned your Big Sisters and have been granted Bids for membership. As of now, each of you is a Pledge for our Sisterhood. This Sunday shall begin your Pledge Education. All of you will gather here each Sunday for the next ten weeks at six pm for your education. You will gather here each Wednesday as well for your Pledge Missions, tasks we will assign to you to complete for your formal entrance into our Sisterhood." "You shall meet each Friday with your Big Sisters to discuss what you have learned, your Pledge Missions and anything your Big Sister deems necessary to complete your initiation. At the completion of Pledge Education, you shall be tested and those who pass will be then voted on by the Chapter to attend Instatement Weekend. Upon the completion of the test, we shall take final vote to see who will be granted access. You must get seventy-five percent on the test and get eighty percent upvote to attend Instatement Weekend." All seven pledges nodded to show they understood. "Lastly, we expect you to meet once a week as a Pledge Class to get to know your Pledge Sisters and to work together to help each other succeed. The most important test you will face as Pledges is proving your unity as a Pledge Class of One. As a Sisterhood, we are only as strong as our weakest member. We ask that you all do everything you can to aid your Pledge Sisters in this process. All of you must work to make sure the other six succeed with you. I want to see all seven of you at Instatement Weekend." All seven nodded again. They had all expected this. The girls in the chapter all seemed to convey the importance of unity each time they saw them. None ever seemed to miss any chapter event. Obviously they expected the same of potentials. "You are now dismissed, please exit the house immediately. I expect all of you to be on time for each session, and all of you are responsible not just for yourselves, but all your Pledge Sisters. If one of you is late, you're all late. If one of you fails a task, you all fail. You will see through the next ten weeks how important this bond of unity is. We are united as a Sisterhood, and we expect that same commitment from all who join our Sisterhood." Sisters in Love and Trust Ch. 04 The seven pledges needed no second command. They quickly turned and headed for the door. As they left, many of the actives headed up to their own rooms. All seven breathed another sigh of relief once they were outside. The process had begun now, they were on the path to Sisterhood. They all stood on the porch, looking at each other. "We need to figure out a good time for all of us to meet." Sonya said, breaking the silence. "Who has the latest class?" She asked. "I think I do, my Intro to Ethics lets out at four." Alex responded. The other girls all nodded. "My practices end around seven." Daphne stated. "I work until six three days a week." Janine piped up. Sonya stayed quiet for a minute, then spoke again. "Okay, so obviously Wednesday won't work because of our Missions. How is Thursday at eight for everyone?" The other six thought for a moment, then agreed that time would work best. "We'll meet and eat at Milton each Thursday at eight then." She said, and they all agreed. Set on their meeting time, the group all broke off. Sonya and Alex went back to their dorm. Daphne headed for the rec center while Gina scurried to the library. Maisy, Janine and Susan all headed for Milton, starving and ready to eat. "So it begins." Maisy said as the marched to the cafeteria. "We've taken the first step. I hope all of us make it through." Janine smiled. "I'm sure as long as you and Susan stay on, I'll be fine." Susan smiled. She would not quit, no matter what. Even if she was the only one left. This would probably be her only chance to get closer to Angelique, and she was not going to let that slip away. She did not know it now, but she'd be very happy to know all her Pledge Sisters shared her commitment. For all of them, this was a chance to better themselves. For Janine and Gina, it was a chance to open up to others. For Sonya, Alex and Maisy, it was a chance to have fun and enrich their college life. For Daphne, it was a chance to have a life outside her sports. None of them were going to give this up. They all knew it would not be easy, but seeing the bond all of the Active Sisters shared told each that the trials would be worth it.
