Summary

This week, Kate starts by sharing her thoughts on how being fashionable in the early aughts meant to try the absolute HARDEST, a revelation that feels as glaring as her patent leather pumps after witnessing the shift in collegiate fashion upon spending "welcome weekend" in a college town. Then, she touches on Selling OC before reminiscing via reading through residual sorority stories that listeners submitted the past two years from when she was going to resuscitate the sorority series (before accidentally spending two hours last week analyzing if it was high camp instead). A variety of topics are covered, from sayings like “we plan and God laughs,” to the lore of one-shoulder tops, reviews the Kingdom Chaser/Clout Chaser/Straight No Chaser Venn Diagram of sorority archetypes, discusses the sorority symbols that had the most hot-girl energy, to lusting after the mystery of a non-Greek suitor who (if you can believe it) attended college to *learn,* to name a few. Kate also discusses the differences between NPC and NPHC and then snorkels the submitted responses for how chapters sugarcoated the reasons for why a girl wasn’t the right “fit” by saying things like she’s “worldly” “cute” or “nice,” among other adjectives that are compliments in real life but death wishes in the Greek system. However, like any true sorority girl, we always end on a positive and Kate promises this will be the last Greek Life-related ep for 2022. Enjoy!

0:00.0	Hi everybody, welcome back to the Be There 5 Podcast. I'm Kate Kennedy, your host. This weekend
0:15.9	I went to a wedding in Michigan where my husband went to school and guys it was so interesting.
0:26.4	I was welcome weekend and Thursday night we drove through downtown and picked up dinner
0:33.6	and there were so many bright eyed college freshmen just walking in the Amos clusters,
0:42.3	taking names. Looking for somewhere to go, do you remember that feeling of like at least
0:48.1	in my experience, you know, you go to college and you know some people are you develop
0:51.9	like camaraderie on your hall and then you've like nowhere to go. You aren't invited anywhere.
0:58.0	You're just kind of able to walk around like hoping you'll find a party and it was kind of
1:04.4	charming and you could just tell they were, I don't know, trying to find a neon lit basement serving
1:11.6	as their north star for a place they could score some underage burnettes. It really brought me back.
1:16.4	I was, when we were driving through I was slightly horrified that when I went to college I was like
1:23.3	literally still a child but I didn't know it yet and part of me really like felt for them trying
1:30.0	to find their place in the world especially when you feel like the only currency you can trade on
1:35.6	is this kind of party animal lifestyle and heavy social lubrication that makes you not feel inferior
1:41.8	as a freshman but that for me lasted throughout the next four years and the thing that made me feel
1:48.2	better about the youth of America was that the the health fits you guys. I was so relieved and
1:57.8	charming and happy for for their good fortune in the timing that they're in college. It was nice to
2:02.6	see a glimpse of I don't know like a Midwestern academic institution the first night of college
2:08.6	outside of the spirit you know spirit skirting round off backhand spring persuasion we see on
2:12.7	tiktok because I was refreshed by how the girlies are just all about party comfort it's a movement I
2:18.6	can get behind like every single person I saw was wearing some sort of black top black crop top
2:24.8	black body suit a lighter wash wide leg or straight leg denim and platform crisp white sneakers
