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.

No, I totally agree. That’s a different story. But there was no indication of someone saying “Hey. What you’re doing is upsetting me, and I know you think it’s coming out one way, but it’s really coming out another.” Even the email she sent to her exec was just like EVERYONE’S FUCKING UP. BAIIII. I just feel like it was mishandled and there was a way to make it so everyone is happy, and right now no one is.
I didn’t say the results were fine. I said that wasn’t for me to decide. What I said was their intentions were clear, and you shouldn’t be made to feel like you’re a bad person for something you did by accident. If I accidentally stain my friend’s shirt, she can be pissed, but to put it on social like I intentionally destroyed her clothing is wrong. A total misrepresentation of the situation. Results matter, but intentions matter too.

It was a really hard decision, and I was young. I don’t think I was the perfect girlfriend to him, you’re right about that. But I did love him with all my heart. Which is exactly why I didn’t know what to do. How could I still feel burdened by my relationship if I loved him and he was great? I didn’t want it to be true. I didn’t want to want something else, but ultimately I did. And when I fully came to terms with that, it hit me like a ton of bricks, and I broke up with him immediately, because it wasn’t fair to either of us. I’m not denying that it sucked for him. I spent years hating myself for hurting him, because I can’t possibly imagine the hurt I caused him. But I didn’t know how else to handle it. I still don’t know how I would have handled it differently. When your heart and your brain want different things, it’s really hard.
He’s still a really great nice guy. He’s been a relationship guy since before I met him. He’s with a pretty girl now, who he loves, and will probably marry, and I’m happy for him.
No, the English alphabet. PNMs going through recruitment probably don’t have the Greek alphabet memorized, so we figured this made more sense for them.
I understand this is hard for your chapter, but I promise no one is blaming your sorority for this. Of course no one would identify “dog-lover,” but say she was a princess at Disney world? Certainly, that would be included. If she had worked for a Fortune 500, that would likely be included in the media. If she’d been a member of some prominent team, that would have been included.
Inclusion in these elite groups generally means you’re held to a higher standard, and also means it is more shocking than some random person.
Tuco, are you TSM’s Sweetheart?
It’s okay. I forgive you.
Sidebar, though. This isn’t related to that. I started writing it last week.

So?
Hey, can you go over there and pick up the point? Because you missed it.
Did not say that you were a bigot. Said the media paints fraternity men as bigots.
Oh, someone over at tech is in trou-ble. Try veronica@grandex.co (not .com)

The fact that you said this and you’re not a KD made my heart happy.
Hahaha. You mean you don’t carry white lights around with you? That’s your first mistake.
Fuck the haters.
Thanks <3
Sometimes I think all hope is lost in the world, and then a gem like you rises from the ashes.
I didn’t. I just said republicans wouldn’t be socialites.
