Tris pov

Tris walks into the Kappa Delta sorority house and immediately is hit with the feeling that she doesn't belong here. Aside from sports, these girls are preoccupied with clothes and boys. She knows that the only reason that they asked her to join in rush week and pledge the sorority is because she is one of the top rated softball players in the country. She found their initiation process strenuous, and that was the reason that she decided to pledge, that and the fact that one of her coaches encouraged her. She insisted that it would look good to potential professional and semi-pro fast pitch softball teams. This is a sorority of athletes. Every girl here received a scholarship for some kind of athletics. She avoided joining any kind of sorority for two years and now here she is, standing in the foyer.The girls are bustling about the house and no one seems to notice Tris standing there frozen. Then a girl comes running down the stairs and sees Tris standing there."Tris, I'm so glad you are here," Marlene says. She has been one of Tris' teammates since freshman year and one of the people that pushed her to join the sorority.Tris and Marlene were the only freshmen to battle and win starting positions on the Tigers' team that year. And from what they were told, it was rare that freshmen even play at all let alone earn starting positions. It took a while for the older girls to accept them. Until that game...It was the third game of the season. It was the final inning of the game, bottom of the seventh. The Tigers were up by three runs, but the other team was up to bat. They had bases loaded and no outs. The girl that came up to bat had hit a home run at her last at bat.The girl strode to the plate and readied herself while the Tigers' pitcher wound up and pitched the ball. The girl hit a line drive that came off the bat like a bullet that went directly at Tris. Tris caught the ball in midstride and touched second base for an unassisted double play. She then threw the ball to home plate but was a little short making Marlene have to stretch the catch the ball. Marlene managed to catch the ball and turn to tag the third base runner who was in a full sprint toward home plate. They collided but Marlene held on to the ball. She was out! The game was over, the Tigers won. From then on Marlene and Tris were accepted by their teammates and were suddenly being watched by some of the best teams in the country."Come on, Tris. Let's get your stuff to your room. I hope you don't mind, but I requested that you room with me," Marlene explains."That's great!" Tris says."After we get you situated, I'll start introducing you to the girls. You already know a lot of them from the softball team. And tonight we are helping Phi Delta with their victory party."Phi Delta is Kappa Delta's brother fraternity. Both houses center on athletes. They both have excellent tutoring programs because the members are always traveling for games, they both house some of the most athletically and academically talented students on campus, and they throw the best victory parties."Victory party for what," Tris asks."The football team won their first scrimmage of the season a couple days ago. Every year if they win their first game they have a victory party. Don't worry they don't throw a party every week. Just the first game, homecoming, and their bowl game.""Okay," Tris says. She has never gone to a fraternity party and is a little intimidated by the idea. They drop Tris' things in their room and Marlene leads her down to the kitchen where a majority of the girls are eating and getting ready for the day. Tris was the last girl from the pledge class to move into the sorority house."Hey everyone," Marlene yells above the chatter. "This is Tris. She is the All American shortstop for the softball team and our newest sister."Everyone stops and welcomes Tris to the house by clapping and chanting her name. She feels like she is back on the field, and she guesses that is the point, they are all athletes after all."I've got to get to training," Tris tells Marlene."I'll see you later then," Marlene says. "I'll meet you here at four o'clock, we are supposed to head over to Phi Delt at that time.""Okay," Tris says. "I'll see you then."
