Veronica (@VeronicaRuckh) is the Director of Total Sorority Move for Grandex, Inc. After having spent her undergraduate years drinking $4 double LITs on a patio and drunk texting away potential suitors, she managed to graduate with an impressive GPA and an unimpressive engagement ring -- so unimpressive, in fact, some might say it's not there at all. Veronica has since been fulfilling her duties as "America's big," a title she gave to herself with the help of her giant ego. She has recently switched from vodka to wine on weekdays.

Write a new piece. We’ll probably recognize usernames associated with columns that performed well in the past, and keep that in mind. You can indicate if it’s a second column if you’d like with the text SECOND COLUMN in the title.
A guy asking you on a date does not make him one of the “good ones.” Any guy will ask you out if he likes you and no one is “ruined” based on a singular rejection.
This guy was a perfectly nice boy, but as I said, weeks went by in between the first time we slept together and the second time we spoke, so I think my judgment was pretty sound on this one. Regardless, assuming that guys are sincere in their actions is, unfortunately, a really good way to get yourself played. I’d rather be delightfully surprised when the fuckboy turned out to be a “good one,” than heartbroken when the “good one” turns out to be a fuckboy.
Those are two separate concerns. One concern is that a NPHC org has the symbol, and another is that there was confusion between the symbol and a separate gang organization. That information came from an email that I decided against publishing to protect individual members/chapters.
The gang information is from an email sent (to my knowledge) to only two chapters, but contained information that was given to them verbally by a district leader. It wasn’t said to BE a gang symbol, just confused for one. I didn’t publish the full email, because I only know for sure that two chapters got that exact one, though it was sent to all the presidents in a district, so I just didn’t want to get a member in trouble for sending it to us.
Retweet.

A piece of shit? I think that’s the scientific term.
Girl, I know it.
I feel as though that’s what it says?

Obsessed.
Totally agreed. No need to make it a game. Do it when it feels right.
It’s a column, not a news story.
Haha, this made me lol.
Was just saying the same thing.

I feel good about it.
Agreed. I feel like it would basically be a power move not to attend in this case, rather than a social activity you’re missing out on.
Honestly, yeah. Everyone is brainwashed.
Honestly, future employers probably won’t see those banners.
Making events mandatory is 100% considered hazing by most national organizations, unfortunately.
Was in the party girl sorority. Bad reputations, good times.
Omg, I wish someone would have tipped us off on that too. So funny.
