Quick Notice: For anybody who read this story before I posted this chapter, I changed the character Aaron to Louis! If you don't know what I'm talking about, just ignore this! Thanks for reading!

With less than half an hour before the rest of the girls would be arriving, I decided to leave my bedroom and locked the door behind me. I'd heard a few guys passing through the hallway talking about them leaving, so I'm sure Harry and Louis were gone by now, along with all the other douchy frat boys.

Serena and Annabelle were in the kitchen looking over a folder.

"Hey babe, you feeling okay?" Serena asked as she rubbed my back. I nodded and forced a smile across my face. My heart really wasn't in to all of this today.

"Okay, well we've heard back, and all twenty-five girls are coming for sure. It's weird to think that ten of them will be staying with us for good..." Serena went on.

"I know!" Annabelle whined, "I like most of these girls. They're a lot of fun."

I nodded in agreement and leaned my head against Serena's shoulder.

Our challenge today wasn't an easy one, and would definitely keep a few girls from wanting to be a part of this sorority, but tradition always came first, and we needed a way to chisel down our numbers, show who was dedicated...

"Louis was talking about you," Annabelle teased.

I smiled and rolled my eyes. Louis really was something: president of the frat house, student council member, and his parents were drowning in money, not to mention he generally was a nice guy most of the time.

"You guys should go out sometime this week. You need a break from all of this. When's the last time you got laid?" She added. I slapped her shoulder, which sent her into a burst of laughter. 

"I'm just saying!" she called out as I walked into the living room.

Girls lounged around on the couches, scrolling through Polyvore and Twitter. A guilty pit grew in my stomach. This was my first year having to enforce these traditions and damn, it did not make me feel good about myself.

Back in the kitchen, I grabbed the folder Serena has left on the counter and sat at the long kitchen table. I looked at the different pictures of the girls. Some were from small towns and others were from big cities. Most of them were freshman, but there were also a few sophomores and juniors. 

This time last year, I would've been shaking in my shoes. A lot has changed since then.

The doorbell rang and the first girls started to arrive at the door. 

Good luck, girls. You're gonna need it...

We got everyone who wasn't the pledges, Serena, Annabelle, and I to get out of the house for the afternoon, until tonight. We all had friends or boyfriends in the area, so it wasn't a big deal anyways. Most were out getting things for tonight and would be back soon. We all gathered in the main living room. They seemed excited to find out what they were doing, but a few of them must've known what was in store for them. Word always got around.

"Congrats on making it here, girls. It's been a long week...for all of us," Serena started.

"You've all shown your dedication to Delta Nu this week, and tonight is your final challenge," I said.

Annabelle was the most comfortable with all of this, so we decided to let her explain things to them.

"Tonight, Delta Nu is throwing it's first party of the year. The party that you all went to was very toned down. Tonight, that's not the case. Most of the campus is invited, and it's going to get loud and dirty. The other night we looked at how punctual you were and how you managed to act in a situation like that. I guess you could say that now, it's a bit different..."
