I'm a bit confused regarding your logic though... Wouldn't it make more sense to live life as though each day were your last? I mean, if you're living life like you have an eternity to live I would imagine that we'd all want to just sit in our houses and play video games all day. Or maybe that's just me...
It's times like this you should try to remember things she has said she wanted. You can always buy her make up or something. Nordstrom had a make up palette for $30 and it comes with like 144 eye shadows and what not. If she wears make up it's pretty good. I actually bought one sometime last month. Looks like it's unavailable online but you can always call and check if they have them in stores.
Eh, I was pledging a sorority for a bit but it just wasn't for me. All I saw were a bunch of people wanting to party. Sure, they have like 1 or 2 community projects that they do (um.. that basically no one even goes out to) but other than that you basically pay a bunch of money to party. That money goes to renting rooms in hotels for informals/formals, buying the drinks, and so forth (takes a lot of money to be in one. Haha. That's not even including all the dresses and gifts you need to buy.)
I personally found the things they make you go through quite degrading. They say it's supposed to "bring you closer to your sisters" or some nonsense like that but it just didn't do it for me. Honestly, how can you even want to be "sisters" with a bunch of girls that are yelling at you and making you do stupid things? (Not to mention, stuff that will physically leave scars on you.) If anything, I strayed away from them after all that garbage but then again, this is from my own personal experience. I'm not too sure how the other sororities and frats do their thing but i've seen pretty much the same thing.. just done in different ways.
All in all, it was somewhat creepy and almost cult-like to me. That isn't to say that I didn't get a chance to actually meet a couple people who were actually down to earth and not just your typical frat/sorority stereotypes.
