Greek Life

In our last installment, the girls founded a Greek House ... tentatively being called "Var House" (until future generations get the other two letters). They have one pledge thus far (Lisa Creelman). Also ... Aurora found a man ... and she fell in love. At the end of the update, Aurora proposed to him ... will he accept??? Find out below!

Dear mom and dad,

Star and I are so, SOOOO sorry for not being able to complete our last letter to you. Classes. You know how it goes. And since we've gone and founded the Greek House, we've gotta fund it - so we've been busy with that, too (more about that later). Furniture needs buying, walls need to be put up. And I hate the wallpaper. But we can't afford much right now. Soon though.

Anyway ... from your letter, I see that dad influenced you to write a few choice words about my proposal to my college professor. Oh! And I got so wrapped up in writing to you about him and how wonderful he is that I didn't tell you his name! *blush* His name is Payton Gast, and he IS only 25! I'm 18 ... I'm an adult. A WOMAN. Tell dad that he needs to realize that.

Anyway ... Payton is 25 (young for a professor), but he's absolutely brilliant. Dad's probably wondering what a college professor wants with a Freshman. Apparently dad has forgotten that I'm more mature than HE is (what middle-aged man wanders around wearing sunglasses all the time and dreaming of being younger? *shakes head*). And I don't care if you show that bit to dad. He needs to realize I'm not the little girl anymore that he helped transition.

Payton thinks I'm insightful, funny ... beautiful. *blush* Love is love. No one has control over who they fall in love with. If they think they have that control, they're deluding themselves.

I proposed to him because I love him ...



And he loves me because ...



... HE ACCEPTED!!!
We've been very open about our relationship, and since I'm going to be declaring my major soon, they don't have a problem with it. We've been to the Dean and everything (just in case). So you won't have to worry about irate parents calling up and calling me a whore or a slut.



Payton's not like that. He said he wants to wait until we're married.


I think that's great. I'm not ready for that step anyway. And even if I was ... I know how to protect myself. So STOP worrying! And give dad a valium or something.

Hey, mom! Hey, dad! Star here. I just wanted to touch upon something that Rora mentioned earlier in the letter. Funding of the Greek House ... Var House. :O) Yes, we (Rora, Lisa, and I) have been putting our heads together trying to figure out how to fund ourselves. There's the obvious influx of scholarship funds that we get for doing well on our midterms and final exams, but we need more than that amount. So ...




I'm a DJ!
I went to a club one night just to loosen up after taking exams and whatnot, and I couldn't take my eyes off of the DJ. No ... it had nothing to do with attraction - I could've cared less. But the way he was mixing the sounds and generally being creative ... I figured I could do it. They were having an amature night, and they LOVED me. I rock. I can't be knowledge all the time. I have to have a creative outlet. DJ-ing is not only fun and creative, but very lucrative as well.

Oh ... oh. Sorry ... RORA has also been putting her DJ-ing abilities to work. *rolls eyes*



Always trying to copy their older siblings. *shakes head*
But I have to give her props. She spins a mean LP! Her style is a little bit different than mine, but ... what can you do? We're not the same person. Not by a long shot.

By now you're both probably noticing that Rora and I have changed our appearances. I usually change mine every year. I like to shake things up a bit. I'm not some stodgy knowledge sim who only cares about test tubes.

Of course ... we've kinda spread the disease to Lisa. Heh-heh-heh ... *evil grin*


When she walked out of the bathroom after her makeover, I was AMAZED! I mean ... do you remember her from before?



She looked so ... so OLD!



And NOW look at her! WOO! The girl is on FIRE!! ;O)
With her new look, she started pursuing one of our newest pledges - Andrew GilsCarbo. He's a nice guy. And Lisa likes him ...



... a LOT!


I'm pretty sure that the feeling is mutal. I mean ... they've gone out a few times, and they both have these silly grins on their faces when they return to Var House.




Yup ... love is in the air at Var House. I'm still trying to figure out if that's a good thing or not.



I mean ... don't get me wrong. I have no problems with people acting out their romantic notions on the front lawn ...



But COME ON!!!



Show a little discretion! The cook has been known to gossip.

No ... no ... I'm not jealous that my Greek House members are in relationships and I haven't found anyone I'm interested in yet ... and I'm almost a senior ...


Yes ... midterms have passed and I've changed my hair again. :Op Anyway ... I'm sure I'll find someone. Sooner or later.

SO ... what have you and dad been up to since Rora and I left? Having fun? Write back soon and tell us all about it!

We love you.

Aurora and Star

So what HAVE Larana (our founder) and Benjamin Long been up to since the girls went away to college? What do a Romance sim and a Knowledge sim do all alone? Hmm ... find out next time! ;O))
