CHAPTER 2
DANA
Courtney Morgan plops her palms on my shoulders and sighs. “Dana Kirby,” she says, tall and proud.“Kneel.”
I laugh, rolling my eyes as I lower onto the carpet of her childhood bedroom. She regards me with intense focus, her blue eyes sparkling with over-dramatic flair.
“Tomorrow,” she says, “you’re officially a Northie.”
I open my mouth to speak. She shushes me.
“You’re not a high school girl anymore. Now, you’re a college girl. Nay...” A sage-like nod. “A woman.”
Violet snorts from the bed.
Courtney fires a glare. “Vi...”
“Yes?”
“Was there something you wanted to add?”
“Nope.”
“Then, button it, outsider. This is official Beta Kappa business.”
“My sincerest apologies.” Violet waves her arm, the upper half of an elegant plié. “Please continue.”
I chuckle. Courtney diverts her glare toward me. I go quiet.
“Dana.”
“Yes, ma’am?” I reply.
“As your sponsor, it is my responsibility to prepare you for what awaits you within the walls of the Beta Kappa sisterhood,” Courtney says. “Beta Kappa Beauties represent all things beautiful at Chicago North, from the purely aesthetic to the human spirit itself.”
Violet coughs. “And blowjobs.” She coughs again.
Courtney’s eyes burn in her direction again, but this time she smiles and... doesn’t refute it. “What happens at the Beta Kappa house stays at the Beta Kappa house.” Another smile. Warm and sister-like. “But if you have questions, fire away. I’m an open book.”
“Why did I have to kneel for this?” I ask.
Courtney shrugs. “I just wanted to see if you would do it.”
With a laugh, she plops down to sit with me, playfully yanking the cushion out from under Violet as she goes. Violet rolls off the bed to join us on the floor.
“Are you really gonna pledge?” Violet asks me.
I nod. “Yes.”
She grimaces. “Why?”
“Why not?”
“Aren’t they, like... a cult?”
“No,” Courtney says. “They aren’t a cult. They’re a sorority.”
“What’s the difference?”
