a few cool things at our rush, know this, little sistah, I did not vote for you. So know there is no love between us,” Torian said as she held her hand out, waiting for me to place the envelope in it.
    Not needing her to emphasize anything with me, I said, “Sure, Torian.”
    â€œNo, no, you address me as Big Sister Torian Handle That, okay?”
    â€œI’m sorry, Big Sister Torian Handle That.”
    â€œMuch better. And also, let’s be clear. Al Dutch and I go out. So you and he can never be caught together again. I know he likes many girls, but I’ll make him see I’m the one. And until he does, I don’t want my little pledgee getting in the way of my happiness.”
    She was trying to explain how she had changed her mind about Al Dutch, but I couldn’t hear anything but that fool’s name. I wanted to scream out, “Run as far away from him as you possibly can. Trust me, he’s no good. Your first instinct was right.” But she mistook the perplexed glare I gave her to be one of jealousy.
    â€œYou don’t have a choice. I’m your Big Sister here, so you do what I say. He’s going to be my man, and you’re going to leave him alone.”
    â€œMay I speak, Big Sister Torian Handle That?” I said to her. “Here’s my money. And I don’t want you to take this the wrong way or anything, but you’re way too good for Al Dutch.”
    Thinking back to the pain that chump had put me through, my chest started rising, and it was hard for me to breathe. Clearly, she could tell something was wrong and that I was uncomfortable.
    She touched my back and said, “Are you okay?”
    â€œJust thinking about my time with him. I’m not okay. Just don’t.”
    â€œWhat happened?” Torian questioned. “I don’t understand.”
    â€œJust don’t... .” I hung my head because I could say no more. She dismissed me, and I got back in my car and drove away, hoping she had gotten the message. However, I could not stress out like that again. She was a big girl, and she was warned.

    Forty of us had made line, the largest line in the past ten years for the Alpha chapter. I knew it was hard to get along with one black female, but being connected to thirty-nine of them was going to be much more drama. Sam didn’t even ask me if it was okay with me to hold a meeting at our place—she just volunteered us. She started tidying up and making popcorn, and, like clockwork, they all showed up at seven PM on the dot.
    Cheryl, Sam’s crazy friend, was there. She was an okay-looking girl—about 5’6” with shoulder-length jet-black hair, and I noticed she had a cute smile, despite her yellow teeth. Her beauty was average, but she had really hard angles, like she was in the army or something. I confirmed my thoughts when her smile quickly changed to a tight pout and she opened her mouth to speak.
    â€œWe don’t want to be paper, you guys. We want to do this thing right. All we got to do is get in the car and be with the other lines getting hazed. I heard that they are hazing a line at a school an hour away. We can go and meet up with them. If you got a test to study for, bring your materials with you. We need to be as well rounded as we can. Some of our Big Sisters may be there.”
    â€œMan, we need to hurry up!” another one of Sam’s friends shouted out.
    â€œThat’s really what the meeting is about. It’s time for us to come together so we can be as one,” Cheryl sort of demanded, motioning toward the door. “Y’all ready? Let’s be out!”
    Sam didn’t seem to be surprised by any of this, but it was all new to me. Somebody was telling me we needed to come together and go let somebody bash our brains in, all so we wouldn’t be paper? I wasn’t going nowhere.
    â€œSays who?” I yelled out.
    I looked around. About half the crew had smiles
