Interest Meeting 3:20PM

I was in my room preparing for my rush meeting, I've been waiting for this day since my freshman year in high school. I am legacy and I have a lot to uphold, you may think it's stupid but that's how my family gets down.

My boyfriend Aaron is a kappa, and he's been trying to help me prepare for this day as well.

*knock**knock*

'It's open' I call out straightening my hair 'Whew look at my fine baby right here' Aaron says smacking my butt 'Stop baby, I'm trying to get ready can you sort out my papers for me' I asked as he smiles kissing my cheek 'Anything for my baby' he says

'All right everything is together' he says giving me a kiss I smile grabbing my stuff

I decided to wear my hair in a nice neat bun, put on some light makeup, got dress (shown below) and some black heels 'Aaron I should be done by 5 then we can grab something to eat' Aaron looks at me a nods his head

'Alright Jo Jo be calm and text me' he demands I smile heading to the building, as I left my dorm I notice there was a lot of interest meetings going on, and I was excited for many reasons, my phone started to buzz I rolled my eyes because of course my mother would be calling me, asking if I'm heading to the interview now.

Crazy thing is, I'm legacy so I feel a lot of weight on my shoulders sometimes..oh my how rude of me let me give you a brief summary of who I am

I am Joivta Nole Evans I'm 19 years old and I attend Hillcrest State University. I am a fashion major and I grew up in Alabama my whole life, my mother and father are both alumni at this school, my dad was a pretty basic person not gonna lie, he was into ROTC and later on commissioned into becoming a 2nd Lieutenant and now he's retired after 30 years of serving.

My mother on the other had..boy Angela Evans, my mother is very talented and she's active, she was a dancer in the band, she was freshman AND sophomore class queen, she joined a sorority, during her junior year and once again becoming junior class queen, then her senior year she was Miss Hillcrest State University. Angela majored in social work and now works in a foster care system, it's sad to say but I do not care about being apart of a royal court, but joining a sorority she kind of made it no choice for me

Every event these girls had on campus my mother was there, why? Because she's the president of this specific chapter and I had to be there, not to brag about having one foot in the door, but I wanted to have a fair chance like the girls whose mother has no relations with any organization at that.

I arrived at my location and waited inside along with a bunch of other girls, Not gonna lie I was nervous as hell but wore my confidence face and waited

'Jovita Evans'

I walked up 'Good Afternoon Miss Evans, how are you doing' the president ask I know her name is Andrea 'I'm doing well and you ladies' I ask they smile 'Great, may we have your folder and you can start to tell us a little about yourself'

I told them about how I grew up in Hillcrest and my major and what I want to gain from being a fashion major

'Do you have any other hobbies' Andrea ask 'Yes I like to sing' I respond 'Can you sing us a song' the other girl named Lauryn

You know I've been holdin' on
Try to make me weak
But I still stay strong
Put my life all up in these songs
Just so you can feel me
So you can get the real me

So take me as I am
Or have nothing at all
Just take me as I am
Or have nothing at all

'Okayyy I see you' this other member says making me laugh a little 'Okay Miss Blige' Andrea says smiling 'Okay and last question how do you see yourself helping or more so uplifting this organization' she ask

'Well I'm an only child so I want to feel included rather than excluding myself from thing, I more so see this organization helping me out by making me feel included and I guess vice versa, I want to make everyone feel included and that way everyone can feel apart of something' I say the girls looked at me like I was crazy

'Umm okay, well thanks and have a great day' they say I awkwardly smile back and head out the building mentally slapping myself in the face, I was better off giving them some bullshit ass answer

I called Aaron 'Hey hun my interview is over' I say heading back to my dorm 'Okay well where do you wanna eat at' he ask

'Can we just go to a diner' I ask 'Sure let me know when you're ready to go' he ask I smile hanging up
