I got to sleep in and it was amazing. The sisters from the area were having their area meeting. Thankfully I was staying with an Alumna so she didn’t have to wake up early and go. Rosana was really awesome. She made me apple cinnamon pancakes with a touch of banana. I have to say that these pancakes were among the best I’ve ever
had. My tummy was very happy. Sarah slept over that night, so it was a fun morning for the three of us. Rosana has some pretty awesome on-demand cable. We watched movies for a long time. We got to watch “Slumdog Millionaire” and “Whip It,” which are all going on my list of 
favorite movies. I also learned how to make Orzo salad, thanks to Sarah. We made it together as our lunch and it was really cute because I felt like we were teenagers the night after a slumber party. We were in our PJ’s and talking about nonsense and laughing about it. It felt almost as if I was from there and I’d known these girls for years. I guess that’s the bond of sisterhood. It’s a beautiful thing. Later on Sarah and I got showered and dressed for a house party at a Beta Omicron (University of Michigan Ann Arbor) sister’s house. We waited on Orlando to come so we could carpool to the place. The trip to Ann Arbor was a bit long but it didn’t really bother me since everything back home in Miami is a long ways away from my house. Sarah explained to me the major differences between Ann Arbor and Wayne State. The way things work in Wayne State is very different from Ann Arbor because Wayne State is primarily a commuter school. I suppose this is somewhat like my school. Ann Arbor, on the flip side, is mostly a school with a lot of people living on campus. The dynamics are very different and it affects Greek Life and recruitment a great deal.
The house party was pretty straight. I enjoyed my time there. I got to meet a lot of sisters and brothers. The sister whose house the party was had a roommate from another organization, Sigma Lambda Gamma. She was a pretty cool chick from what I saw and I got decent vibes from her. It was nice seeing so many people having a nice time. Everyone was asking me questions about Miami life and LTA Life in Miami. It was really weird but I enjoyed it because I was able to bombard them with questions 
as well. Another Fun Fact: Michigan brothers step to the right when they say “Latin Fraternity” when they salute. This information was brought to you by Tyler. I was fortunate enough to meet a good number of number fives, I was very happy about that. There were also a great number of fours, which I found oddly surprising. I’ve always had love for fours so it’s pretty cool.
Another thing I found a little different was that there were a good number of people who were not even Greek at this party, which I think says a lot. It’s good that non-Greeks feel comfortable enough to party with Greeks and not feel like they are constantly going to have people trying to recruit them and such. A couple of them told me that joining appeals to them more and more because they know that they can have a chill time with Lambda Fam and not feel pressured.
OF COURSE the final thought I want to add to this day is that EVERYONE loves “The Infamous & Fly.” Dead serious. Everyone that asked what our chapter a.k.a. thought it was super cute when I did the movements for “The Infamous & Fly Gamma Pi.” Gotta love it.
