9. All The Way SUPERSONIC

Jill POV

It was the third week of school and they were finally having interviews for candidates into the sorority. Of the many students on campus, five attended their Rush, but only three were granted interviews.

First up was Anika Miles, a sophomore. She was on the dance squad at ISU, and a co-captain, which was a big deal because there were only two African-Americans on the squad, the other a junior. Anika was very popular and was on the honor roll and in the Phi Eta Sigma Honor Society. She was also one of their scholarship recipients last year.

"Anika, why do you think you should be considered for membership into Mu Alpha Chi Sorority, Incorporated?" Jill loved that question because she could determine how serious they were about joining MAX, and hopefully, they did not say anything dumb like "I like the colors," or "You guys have the best parties," or "I don't know."

"I studied all the sororities when I first started here because I was familiar with some, but not very with Mu Alpha Chi. So I did my research and I felt that your mission and goals were something I could align myself with. Furthering my leadership skills, as I hope to go into politics one day. Nothing big like becoming President or anything, but who knows. Black women are running things like that now." Anika took a breath as she was talking a mile a minute. Nerves always got to candidates, she remembered that. Jill talked about herself for about ten minutes straight before they stopped her.

"Anything else you would like for us to know about yourself and your qualifications?" Sherry asked.

"Uh...no, but thanks so much for the opportunity. Thanks for the scholarship, and even if I don't make it in, I love you guys."

They smiled and thanked her for her time. She was let out through the front door. After she left, they had no time to discuss in between, the next candidate came to their back door. Zavrina went to let her in.

Essence Watkins was a sophomore as well. Jill did not know much about her but looked over her application well. She was Vice President of Phi Eta Sigma Honor Society and that was a hard feat to accomplish for an African American student. She had a G.P.A. of 3.8, well above the 3.0 needed, and she was in several other organizations on campus.

There was a list of questions they asked each candidate, but Jill loved the last question. "Essence, why do you think you should be considered for membership into Mu Alpha Chi Sorority, Incorporated?"

"Well, you have the highest G.P.A. on campus, that's including all fraternity and sorority organizations, your focus is not on social functions, but leadership, and you further assist your Alumni beyond graduation. I want to be a part of an organization that builds me up, not breaks me down. I think I have a lot to offer your organization." She smiled sweetly at each of them and spoke calmly, not nervous in the least.  

"And is there anything else you would like us to know about yourself and your qualifications?" Sherry asked.

"I'm a hard worker. I think I said it all in my essay. I would be honored to be a part of your sorority one day. Thank you very much."

Jill jotted down some notes as Sherry lead her out the front door. That was two strong possibles, and she knew the third was Lark who tried hard to be on her line last year but just missed the G.P.A. requirement. Zavrina went to let her in.

As Lark was seated in front of them, they started with their list of questions. All the ladies pretty much had the same answers to the first several questions. What were some of the programs Mu Alpha Chi was known for? What activities had they attended in the past? What types of programs would they come up with if they were a part of the organization?
