Talk may be cheap but intelligent conversation is very expensive these days. Ask anyone with a kid in college.”

Chris and I are getting ready to leave for day two of Freshman Preview.
Yesterday was a big information day. I think we listened to twenty different speakers. Half of them were telling us to cut the apron strings....and the other half were telling us to cut the check. Lauren (and the other 250 newbies participating in this session) got to spend the night on campus. I heard one of the orientation leaders saying something about showing them campus life, getting them used to walking from here to there, and a pajama dance party. Sounds like fun. of course when Lauren heard this she freaked as she had packed some ratty old gym clothes to sleep in. So the three of us ran over to the bookstore and picked out some cute, pink ODU jammie pants and t-shirt. She was happy about that. She also met with a rep. from a neat sounding sorority (Alpha Xi Delta) that she is excited about. They do all their fundraising and outreach to the benefit of sick children(Ronald McDonald House charities). They took her info....and are supposed to email her. The three of us will meet back up with her this morning and after a couple more lectures....she registers. I can't wait to see what and when her classes will be. We keep telling her....NO 8:00AM CLASSES. But who knows if she will listen to us.

You can never completely cut the apron strings. There will always be a little attachment.

Alpha Xi Delta was the no 2, soroity when I was there. Chi Omega was must likely no 1; but they were the one you see in the movies (cute and smart). I was a big brother to Delta Zeta.

But all orgainization go through cycles. You can check their grade point average by calling the dean of students.
