We had, unsurprisingly, a lot of cliques in HS, nerds, jocks, pretty girls, etc., the usual. I think I relished not being in one, maybe subconsciously. Of course, I wanted to be in the "cool guy" club, but never was. They mostly dated the pretty girls, cheerleaders, etc. Maybe it was a good lesson for me. The transition to college of course meant everyone was "lost" in effect, in a huge sea. There were cliques of course called fraternities and sororities. My cousin, same age as me, pledged. I went along with him to a pledge party. The whole scene was foreign to me. I guess I wouldn't want to join a club that would accept me. Ha.
At one point, a pretty girl sat next to me and started asking me questions about whether I was interested in pledging other frats, and I said no, I was not interested at all, she got up and left, of course. College was liberating in that you could redefine yourself, if you wanted.
