Speaker 5: Hey all right, ask away LB.
Speaker 1: Hello my name you are a hard working gal. I
am two jobs I do.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I would say a job and a quote job,
but I still get paid for it.
Speaker 1: Wow. You know, so, how are you liking the cool job?
Speaker 2: The cool job is tours campus tours at UCLA.
Speaker 4: I love it.
Speaker 2: It's honestly, I say job in quotes because it doesn't
really feel like a job.
Speaker 4: You know, it's it's obviously not that much work.
Speaker 2: Every single week for contexts, I give campus tours at
UCLA to people that come either with their families or
sometimes high schools that decide to show up because you know,
they're local and they want to see UCLA.
Speaker 4: And I, like I said, I love it.
Speaker 2: It honestly felt like joining a fraternity almost because a
lot of my friends from school actually came from joining
the organization. Everybody calls it more of like an organization
than a job. I would say because I feel like
we do just as much, if not more, like social
things and hang out with each other and you know,
just like lots of fun stuff throughout the quarters. And
it's just like even when you go in to give
a tour, you go in to do your little office
hour where you sit and you answer the phone and
answer emails, like you're not even really doing that. You're
kind of just going in for social hour with whoever's
in the office, which is so nice because you know, like,
I don't know.
Speaker 4: I feel like I'm friends with everybody in the organization.
Speaker 2: Obviously I'm closer with some than others, but every single
person I can go into the office, like regardless of
who it is and be like, oh my.
Speaker 1: God, what's up. I haven't seen you in like a
week or two. How are you?
Speaker 4: Would you? How was this that you did this weekend?
Speaker 2: Everybody just kind of gets along and our little thing
for the office right now, we have a big whiteboard
and our kind of every single year tours comes up
with like this thing that everybody's just obsessed with. Last
year when I joined, it was a card game called
Cabo that everyone just would non stop playing the office.
Speaker 1: You would go in and.
Speaker 2: Everybody like you wouldn't get hazed, you would it just
immediately get taught how to play Cobo, and everybody would
just be insanely competitive.
Speaker 1: Like that entail.
Speaker 2: It's it's just this like fast paced card game that
you can play with like a lot of people, which
is fun. And I don't even really know how to
like I don't want to explain the rules, but just
know it's fast paced and everybody gets really competitive. And
so some of my first impressions of people last year
were people just trying to like steal each other's cards,
and like, somebody ripped a card my first day in
the office, and people will like scream at each other
and it was hilarious. So that was last year that
kind of died. But this year everybody is obsessed with
making just the most random specific graphs where everyone in
tours is included.
Speaker 4: So like it'll just be I think I'm trying to
come up with, like I'm trying.
Speaker 2: To remember funny ones that we've done, but they're just
like the Y and the X are just two completely
random categories that somehow like everyone fits on the scale.
So I think the last one that I was in
the office we were doing was you know, the X
was crypto boy and like a crystal girl, So where
you fall in the spectrum of like would you be
super into crypto or into crystals? And like the why
was like whether you would wear like laces on your
shoes or if you're like a velcrow person, and like
even if you don't wear Velcrow on your shoes, you
could still have like a Velcrow vibe.
Speaker 4: I don't know how to just try it, yeah.
Speaker 2: But it's so funny because everybody will come in the
office and like there's a new one every like two hours.
Sometimes like people will do it and then take a
picture and get bored and erase it and make another one.
And people will just come into the office and they're
either like, oh, that's so accurate, or sometimes depending on
what it is, you'll walk in.
Speaker 4: And you're just like super offended.
Speaker 2: You're like, oh, I was sitting in the office when
they were making it, and they put me as like
a Velcrow type vibe, and I was like, you know,
I don't know how I feel about that. I first all,
I learned how to tie my shoes pretty early. Do
I still do money ears, Yes, I do, But I
mean I don't wear Velcrow on my shoes, but then
they were trying to convince me. They were like no,
but like, you're the type of person that could pull
off Velcrow's shoes if you wanted to, Like, if you
showed up in vel Crow shoes, people would be like, no,
that works, And I was like, you know what, I
did wear Velcrow twinkle toes when I was younger and
rocked them.
Speaker 5: So that's going a question though regarding the actual giving
a tour, Yes, do you think it's important? Do you
feel because because I feel this way and I'm going
into a season of about to take Xander on school tours,
do the people who are giving tours understand what a
difference a good tour?
Speaker 1: Oh?
Speaker 4: People, one hundred percent.
Speaker 2: Like, I think a lot of people that joined tours
joined it because we came to the school because we
loved like going on tours, Like I just I know,
me and my mom when we went to tour Santa Barbara.
One of the reasons why we loved the school was
because my tour guide was like super cool, had a
lot of the same interests as me, was very like upbeat, talkative.
Her name was Phoebe. She was awesome. She was a
psychology major.
Speaker 5: Her hair, yeah, she.
Speaker 4: Was wearing wearing these two little buns on her head. Yeah,
And she was awesome, And I.
Speaker 2: Just remember, I think part of the reason why I
loved the school so much is because my tour was awesome.
And I just remember when I went on my Berkeley tour,
I only loved Berkeley as much as I did, And
I mean I didn't like love Berkeley as much as
other schools. But even when I kind of got a
sense for it, it was when I went to visit
my friends and I got to you know, have the
full like social.
Speaker 4: Experience in Berkeley.
Speaker 2: But from my tour, obviously, like a lot of things
go into it. The weather wasn't great. I'm you know,
definitely not a cold weather gal. If it rains in California,
I can't function anymore.
Speaker 4: But I think the main thing was my tour guide.
Speaker 2: She was kind of just like boring, didn't really talk
about everything you could tell. She like her life was
very very very solely based on academics, with like nothing
wrong with that, but like I wanted to hear about
you know, like social life and like clubs and Greek
life and kind of everything that makes school, like the
school and not just the academics.
Speaker 4: And I just remember going on my tour and I
was like, okay.
Speaker 2: Like it's so we've been talking about the business school
for like thirty minutes and I don't even give a
shit about business, And like, right, I think there was
maybe one person on my tour that was interested in business,
and we just talked about that for so long.
Speaker 4: So I know when I went to like when I
go to.
Speaker 2: Give tours, I think one of the biggest things is
I always you know, we do like a little introduction.
We're trained to get everybody's names, where they're coming from,
and what they're interested in studying, so then I know
to kind of tailor the tour to people's interests. So
if I don't get a lot of North Campus majors,
if I don't have a single person interested in like theater,
that's fine. I'll still talk about feeder a little bit
to like explain some of the classes that we have
to offer that you can take, like not as a
theater major, but I'm obviously going to spend more time
talking about you know, the engineering department or nursing or
whatever they're they are interested in more and I think
that makes the tour better because I feel like they're
getting out what they want to hear from the tour.
But then I also make jokes and I talk about
all of our fun programs, and I think it's fun.
I talk to a lot of my tour guides too,
my friends. We always like to keep it one hundred
with people. If I get a question about going out
or like anything having to kind of relate to, like
your social life, I answer it completely honestly. I'll I'll
talk about you know how I mean, I'm obviously I
was in a sorority, didn't like it. Am I gonna
go to a girl asking me about Greek life being like,
don't fucking join this sorority?
Speaker 1: Like it was not fun?
Speaker 2: Like no, I'm gonna be like, it's honestly, if you like,
it's not for everyone. But I know so many people
that thrive in their sorority and get so much out
of it. And I also know people like me and
like other people who were in or aren't in sororities
that also have a great time.
Speaker 4: And I'll talk about going out and I'll talk about
all that type of stuff.
Speaker 5: So do you stand on business, stand on business girl,
ten toes down, ten toes down.
Speaker 2: Eleven toes down. I don't even have an eleven toe
and I stand on it.
Speaker 1: Anyways, what happened with the sorority?
Speaker 2: What what?
Speaker 1: You just didn't you know? I don't.
Speaker 2: I don't know you were there for I was in
my sorority for a year. I think it was definitely hard.
I want sugarcoat it. As much as I love being
a transfer, I think coming into it so late in
the game, when it's not really made for older girls
was definitely like a hard part of it. Not at
all saying that this is going to be everybody's experience,
because I also have my transfer friends that love.
Speaker 4: Being in their sorority.
Speaker 2: I just think in mine in particular, it's definitely hard
because obviously, coming in as a junior, a lot of
the junior like the traditional junior girls. I should say,
I was about to say, normal, that's crazy, that's crazy
on myself. A lot of the traditional juniors were abroad,
so I didn't really get to meet a lot of
the older girls because the seniors everybody that rushed me.
That was like the reason why I joined my particular sorority.
I had no idea was like super inactive in the sorority.
Like I talked to so many cool girls, and I
was like, oh my god, like these girls are awesome,
Oh my.
Speaker 4: God, I'm so excited.
Speaker 2: And then come to find out not a single one
goes to any chapter meetings or events or anything. And
because they're seniors, you know, they're oh my god, my
voice their seniors.
Speaker 4: They're checked out, so valid.
Speaker 2: But I was like, oh, I don't know a lot
of these girls and a lot of the like events
coming into sororities, you know, going to like date parties
and just going to little events with the fraternities. They're
all mostly made I don't I don't know if mate
is the right word, but you know, most of the
people in attendance of those are freshmen, like girls in
the new PC, and sophomores that live in the house.
And if you don't live in the house, it's really
hard to make friends.
Speaker 4: Like I don't know.
Speaker 2: I consider myself a very social person. I don't think
that I have trouble making friends almost ever, Like when
I joined Tours, I immediately found friends. Like I my
friends on Tours were like, oh my god, like you
are adjusting fantastically, you know whatever, and I just something
didn't click.
Speaker 4: I don't think I.
Speaker 2: Meshed well with a lot of the girls in my storty.
I met some lovely girls, especially the transfer girls. But
I think another hard part was a lot of the
transfer girls moved into the house and I love my roommates,
and I was like, girl, hell no, I'm not dropping
my apartment. I love my roommates and I'm super happy
where I'm at, and I think that these are all
going to be like my friends for life. But the
girls that ended up moving into the house all kind
of made their own little like right, you know, friend group,
and I don't know, I just I felt like I
was a bit of an outsider and I didn't love
going into the house. I didn't really feel comfortable, and
you know, like I knew a lot of people, and
like I really wanted to go to events, and I
was just like, why are we paying so much money
for this when the only thing I really use it
for is the occasional like party and food, Like I
would go to the house for lunch like three times
a week. But you know, I mean I dreaded going
to chapter meetings every single time. It hit Monday at
six pm. I was like with my roommate who was
also in my sorority, and I was like, oh my god,
Like I would be the bad sign. I would be
so excited to get in my bed, you know, after
a long day of classes. I'm like, I'm gonna open
up my laptop and watch a show or I'm gonna
know doom scroll on TikTok. And then Sydney, my roommate,
would pop into my room and she'd be like here,
you almost ready to go to chapter and I'd be like,
oh fuck my life, Oh my god.
Speaker 5: Like I mean, you know, I was pretty vocal because
get bills every single month for like, oh yeah, five
hundred dollars.
Speaker 6: They're ruthless if that's if they spread it out. Otherwise
you get a bill and it's like here's fourteen hundred dollars,
then I'm like.
Speaker 1: Fucking what, it's ruthless. Like it it was ruthless.
Speaker 5: And she was giving me a little bit of I'm
probably not going to re up for next year, and
I was like probably, and then she's like, yeah, I
mean the only reason I would is because possible like connections,
and I was like, yeah, that's not worth forty dollars
or whatever.
Speaker 1: It crash.
Speaker 4: It was not worth it.
Speaker 5: And I'll just say I'll tell you even how much
it costs.
Speaker 1: They're very oh really about it. Oh, I were very
like it was a bill.
Speaker 4: It was disappointing. I'm not gonna lie.
Speaker 2: When I was rushing, they made it seem like a
lot less than it was, and they were like, oh
my god, you know, it's so chill, like blah blah blah,
and then we go in and we have like I
don't It was like a financial meeting at one of
our first chapters for all the new members where they
were just kind of laying out like what you're paying
and where all of it is going.
Speaker 4: And I was sitting there and I was like what
the fuck.
Speaker 2: But they were like the worst part is even in
that they were like, oh yeah, like your new member
fees are like a big you know part of it,
like once you're not like once you're initiated, you're good.
It was like maybe one hundred and seventy five dollars
out of the like fourteen hundred dollars that they're paying,
and I was like, that's like not that big of
a chunk, Like I thought we were going to be
talking like several hundreds of dollars that were just not
going to ever have to be paid again.
Speaker 5: Does that money go I don't know.
Speaker 1: I don't even know.
Speaker 4: It goes to the house.
Speaker 2: A lot of it goes to nationals, like the national organization,
and I'm like, but what are they doing with that?
Speaker 1: Like what do you mean? I'm like, I don't.
Speaker 2: I don't understand what they're saying when they're like, yeah,
and this, you know, X amount of money goes to
our national board, and I'm like, what the fuck is
the national board of my sorority doing? Like they don't
I don't understand. But a lot of it was like
transient house fees and whatever, and I was just and
some of it went to you know, like the chef
and like meals that I understood, but I was like,
if I'm not living in the house, yeah, if I'm not,
Like a lot of it also went to like the
social budget. But then if we would get in trouble
and we would like get fines because somebody threw up
on the bus, like you I didn't chill, chill.
Speaker 4: I never got our stroorty.
Speaker 2: Fine, but if somebody like you know, got in a
fight or like did some crazy shit and like we
got fined for it, which again looking at you, I
never did that, never got a certain rules.
Speaker 4: There's a lot of rules.
Speaker 2: But the problem was that would be taken out of
our budget and we would still have to pay the
same amount of money every single quarter. But they would
be like, oh, well, you know, because a girl like
did this at the venue, we just got fined one
thousand dollars, so say goodbye to your in house next week,
Like you're not going to this place, but like surprise,
what did you have to.
Speaker 1: Do to get in to the sorority? Was it any
anything crazy? Or was it I mean chill, it is Rush.
Speaker 2: It definitely was chill compared to like southern schools that
are like super cutthroat.
Speaker 5: Ye.
Speaker 2: It was definitely still an interesting process. It was a
lot I would have like I had a couple like
twelve hour days where like the first couple of days,
you know, you go to every single house and you
kind of get a little house tour and you talk
to some of the girls. A lot of it was
just very like surface level, superficial conversations. Rush was like
kind of fun because you got you got to like
get ready. But my poor roommates, there was like five
or six of us rushing in my apartment and there
was like two people not rushing, and we were all
up at like the butt crack of dawn, like blow
drying our hair and like getting ready and like, don't
get me wrong, I think Rush was fun, but it
was also sort of a weird process. Because I mean
not to sound like braggy or anything, but Rush definitely
went well for me. I got back the houses every
single round that I wanted, and like my last two houses.
During you know, you have open house and then you
have quote Sisterhood, and then you have Impact and then
you have Preference and every single excuse me, every single
one of those rounds you start narrowing down.
Speaker 4: What houses and it's still.
Speaker 2: Pretty cutthroat, like if a house doesn't really like you,
they'll drop you, even if you liked the house. And
you know, I got back like the maximum amount of
houses that you could get every round, Like it was
like eight houses and then five. It was first round,
you know, you went through all twelve, and then second
round you got back eight, and then third round you
got back five, and then fourth round you could get.
Speaker 4: Back up to two.
Speaker 2: And there were girls that were sobbing the morning of
the second round because their friends were like, yeah, I
got back all eight houses. And then there were girls
that were like I got dropped by every single house
except for three or four of them, and they only
got back the houses that they didn't even really like.
Speaker 5: So, but you put down what you want, Yeah, it's
like so the even ones that you don't want might
put you down as like.
Speaker 2: As like we loved her, Like you could put down
a house where you were like, oh I did not
like that house, and like.
Speaker 5: And then did anybody like get back no houses?
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, there were there were multiple girls that would
get back. I knew of a couple girls, and mind you,
I don't even I would not even be able to
point out what about them got them dropped. Like I
knew girls that were the kindest girls and like not
to sound superficial, but like they were beautiful girls, and
they were like, I got back three houses out of twelve,
and two of them were the houses that I did
not want, And I was just like I don't understand,
Like did you say something racist?
Speaker 4: Like what is happening? Like did you act like you
were trying to get your no, that's it, and I
just like did not understand.
Speaker 2: And I would feel bad because I was getting back
all the houses that I was putting, like my my
preference houses were my top two houses the whole time,
like I was not I was getting dropped by the
houses that I wanted to get dropped by, and I
was getting back, like, you know, the maximum of my
houses because I would just go in there and be
like hey, like upbeat, energetic, but I would have people
asking me like, oh my god, how many houses did
you get? Like people would come up to me and
be like how many houses did you get back this round?
Like did you get back all the houses? Like did
you get into a fee? Like which is like the
top house which spoiler alert no, I got dropped by
a fee first round because I didn't want to be.
Speaker 4: An athe first round after open house.
Speaker 5: I think I remember that the top house dropped too.
Speaker 2: Oh the top house quote unquote sounds so dumb, but
I didn't want to be in a fee. I didn't
like my conversations that I had with the girls, so I.
Speaker 4: Was like, no, not for me.
Speaker 2: But I would have girls being like did you get
back eight houses? Did you did a fee keep you?
And I was like, oh, my fucking god, why.
Speaker 1: Do we care?
Speaker 3: Something where you get accepted into the house, but then
they decide they can drop you afterwards any or no.
Speaker 2: No, Once you're like initiated, it's definitely pretty hard to
get dropped, Like I mean, you have to keep like
a certain GPA. I think you have to keep like
a two point five five or something to like stay
in the house. And obviously like you can't if you're
saying just like outwardly like racist or sexist or homophobic,
or you're bullying somebody, like they will drop you because.
Speaker 4: Sororities are crazy.
Speaker 2: About like their reputations, like they don't they don't put
up with that type of shit, right.
Speaker 1: Was there any hazing or anything like that?
Speaker 4: I mean no, not really.
Speaker 2: I on like midnight, which was like the night where
you kind of find out your house and you quote
run home. It was definitely very intense, like there was
a lot of drinking. You kind of went in there
and everybody.
Speaker 4: Was like, let's get fucked up like whatever.
Speaker 2: And I was like, and I spoiler alert, I left
Midnight crying because I was like, I think I joined
the wrong story.
Speaker 1: Wow, she did.
Speaker 2: I and I went to go hang out with my
other friends in a different sorority, which was hilarious. But
I did walk back to my apartment crying, slightly tipsy
with a dead phone to go charge my phone so
I could go out with my other friends.
Speaker 4: But like, no, there was no light.
Speaker 2: There was no hazing, Like, obviously you aren't having to
do any crazy shit that like frats are having to do,
which I don't even think that many UCLA frats do
hazing either, although my friends are also secretive about it.
Speaker 1: They like are they not supposed to tell?
Speaker 4: They're like, not supposed to tell.
Speaker 2: But it's never that deep. It's never that deep, Like
what am I gonna do? Go to IFC and be like,
excuse me, you're frat pledge Master is making these brothers
do whatever fucking shit they get up to. I don't know,
but you know, so the frats are worse. Frats are worse,
but the frats are kind of whatever at UCLA. Anyways,
if you want to go to a fun frat party,
you go to USC.
Speaker 5: Unfortunately, would you say, would you looking back, are you
glad you did join the sorority?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 5: Totally have something to do, like while you're getting adjusted
to school.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, I'm I'm definitely glad I joined it.
Speaker 2: I made some friends through it, and like it was
it was definitely a fun way to kind of put
myself out there, especially being a transfer and like wanting
to kind of make the most and like, even though
I didn't have a very good experience, I don't think
it's the sorority itself that was that. Like I know
a lot of people that are still in my sorority
that love it. I just think I just don't think
in general being a sorority was for me. But I
know that if I didn't rush, I would have regretted
it because then I wouldn't have known, Like what if
I did love it, I would have had no idea.
And then I mean, you don't rush as a senior.
That's like it's just like there's no reason too, right
because you're not going to anything. All the seniors are
inactive Like there's I mean, you totally can, but there's
just no point in it. But I was like, I
feel like I would have regretted not rushing.
Speaker 1: You wanted to do all the stuff, Yeah, I wanted to.
Speaker 2: Do college, right, I wanted to do college, So yeah,
I'm like definitely glad I did it, and now I'm
glad that I'm not in it. And I got to say,
you know, I was in it. Sometimes I lie and
say I'm still in it. Depending on who it is.
Speaker 5: Are you sad that you're a senior, I'm definitely going
to ask you that.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean I'm sad that I'm a senior.
Speaker 2: It sucks because I did college so short and I
still feel like I don't really know what I want
to do with myself.
Speaker 1: Everybody, Yeah, and like I don't know.
Speaker 2: Sometimes I feel a little bit behind because I people
that had like an extra year or two years in college,
like my senior friends that started at UCLA as freshmen,
you know, like are so ahead of the game, and
I'm just like, like I kind of was depressed and
sad and in community college for a full year, like
not really doing anything, which I probably, in hindsight, could
have been using to be more efficient, even though I
got into UCLA and that's what mattered.
Speaker 4: I was super happy.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but in one year I did which crazy, which.
Speaker 4: Was super cool.
Speaker 2: But yeah, it's definitely a little bit scary being a
senior too, because I'm.
Speaker 4: Like life, life doesn't just end after college.
Speaker 5: Like this is. But Lynette and I have big plans
for you, so I'm ready. We feel we feel strongly.
We've talked about this many times with you not here
obviously right and you're kind my back talking about me.
We feel like there's no reason and people your age,
I've said this to you, there's no reason a twenty
one year old should be going and getting some corporate
job or some job job that you're going to have
like and then climb the ranks. You're twenty one, We're like,
go experience life a little bit, Go travel with your friends,
Go get a skill like bartending or something like that
that you can go do that make some cash, and
go like and do the thing that you have to do,
like work at the festivals. And on the next episode
we're going to split this into two parts so we
can have it for all of Christmas week. But do like,
live some life and figure out what you want to do. Yeah, exactly,
I know, and m couple years that's what I want
to do.
Speaker 2: And like the thing that sucks is TikTok is such
a terrible place because I'll see like twenty two year
olds being like working my job making an X amount
of money and like being in this and like I'm
in finances and I'm like shit, girl, Like.
Speaker 6: But who wants to do but God, who wants to
have a full time exactly for a job that doesn't
give you flexibility to Like, No, I don't really figure
out what you A lot of these people people that
think they want to be like a lawyer.
Speaker 5: Let's just say I know this for a fact. I
have many friends that are like my age now that
went to law school, like graduated college, works super super hard,
went to law school, got in started what do you
call it when you work at a law firm. Oh,
there's a law firm term.
Speaker 4: I know what you're talking about.
Speaker 1: Not clerking, paralegal.
Speaker 5: No, but like when you get a job at a
law firm but you're not really fully anyway, it's sort
of like interning, but they take you on okay, summer.
Oh what's the word? People are screaming it at me. Anyway,
they go do that right, then they become then they
get hired by the law firm, and then they work
at the law firm and then like a couple of
years down the line, they go, oh my god, this
sucks so bad. I don't want to be a lawyer. Yeah,
now they're right, and then like, oh shit, what else
do I want to do?
Speaker 1: Now?
Speaker 5: I want to be an interior decorator. Yeah, and then
they have to either go back to school or go
to a program, and they've wasted a bunch of time.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know what I think would be good for you?
What you should?
