Bio

The early years of Paisley’s life were some of her happiest. The bond between her and her older sister Delilah, was a strong one. Paisley took after her sister in many ways, and they often spent hours together in the family garden, just being together. Others would often compliment their parents on the sweet, delightful children they had raised. Those girls are gone now. One day, Paisley’s world came to a halt. Delilah was stuck in the hospital, diagnosed with a tumour in her lung. Delilah was dying. Paisley went to work, doing anything and everything she could, pouring money into the healthcare system to save her sister. But Delilah couldn’t be saved. On the day that Delilah died, something snapped within that sweet girl. A different side of her was awakened and it was much darker. Paisley began acting out. She had lost respect for the rules of the world, and instead was doing whatever she wanted, whenever she wanted. Paisley  had become a rebel, but she wasn’t a rebel without a cause. Instead of a righteous crusader that she became in the days leading up to her sister’s death, she became more of a Robin Hood. Paisley had changed who she was. Rules meant nothing to Paisley, and nothing mattered but her cause. Paisley will always find a cause.

Her parents hoped that moving to TEI would give her a fresh start. Away from the tragedy of her sister, away from the reputation she had destroyed, and away from the trouble she had gotten herself into. They hoped to regain the sweet girl that vanished years ago. In a way, the move did help Paisley, in a way that sweet girl had begun to live again. The two sides of Paisley seemingly came together. She’s just as much of an activist as she was before, but once again she’s trying out a different path. This time, she’s not doing it alone. She believes in the masses, in movements. She wants to be the spark that can ignite a change in the world. And she thought the girls at Gamma Rho could help her with that. That’s why she joined. Paisley didn’t realize how obedient GR is to their leader. Teamwork is needed, yes, but servitude? It doesn’t suit Paisley. She’s never been one to bow to a leader, much less a dictator. But Paisley isn’t a fool either. She knows about GR’s conflicted past, and she knows that all that it needs now is a revolution. She believes that it’s time for the sorority to evolve, to change. To have unity once again. One of the sorority’s main values is longevity, and Paisley argues that longevity cannot be achieved if you never change. And she seeks to be the change that the sorority needs.

Connections

Aimee Collins: Paisley views Aimee almost as her second. There’s something…magnetic about the girl. Paisley is happiest when she’s around. It’s almost as if she’s found someone who can fill the hole Delilah left in her heart. And Aimee’s support in Paisley’s cause is monumentally important to her. Paisley has taken the responsibility of being Aimee’s guide for her rush.

Helen Sprig: Helen is Gamma Rho’s leader. And Paisley hates her. Helen is a dictator, and she wants to keep it that way. Paisley’s idea of reformation threaten her power, and Helen resents her for it. The two girls are on opposing sides on a divided sorority, just like GR was many years ago.

Hailey Sprig: Paisley has been both loud and quiet. She’s been the centre of attention, and she’s been a wallflower. She’s lived in a shadow, and she’s had an older sister to look up to. Paisley knows how to relate to Hailey, and she’s one of the few people who have taken notice of Hailey on campus. Paisley see’s how Helen treats her younger sister, and hates it. Paisley’s kindness towards Hailey hasn’t gone unnoticed, and the two girls have grown close, much to Helen’s dismay.

Gamma Rho

“I do not believe in taking the right decision, I take a decision and make it right.” ― Muhammad Ali Jinnah

Bio

Helen’s a girl with a fire. She’s always been passionate, driven. She’s a girl with goals and someone who will do whatever it takes to win. Helen’s obsessed with control. She’s determined to be in charge. She’s got one other younger sister, so not only is she a role model at home, but she was also class president in high school and head cheerleader. She’s a bit of a queen bee. Now, everyone may have not liked her, but Helen doesn’t care about being liked. Everyone either respected her or feared her. Helen doesn’t believe in luck, she doesn’t believe in patience. She thinks that if you want something to happen you have to go out and make it happen. Although she does have a history of acting out on just a whim, she’s not one to rest long, often planning out her next move for power.

Helen did not rush Gamma Rho as a freshman, rather, she rushed in her second year, taking her first year as a period of transition where she could plan her way to the top. When she chose to rush, it was more than a decision to join a sorority. It was a decision to rule one. She saw the divide within the sorority as her freshman year was the one that followed the splitting of Alpha Lambda. She noticed the vacuum of power that would follow, and how obedient the girls at GR were to their president, so she began working her way to presidency. She has plans for GR however, envying the influence Epsilon Delta Phi has on campus.

For all of Helen’s plotting and her determination, becoming president of GR was the easy part. She needs to shape the greek house into a shining example of what she can do as a leader, to propel herself into the future. She needs the sorority to become stronger than it ever has before. For Helen to make GR what she needs, she must remain unchallenged. Taking notes from EDP, she’s cut admission rates into the sorority. She plans on bringing them closer to EDP, so she’ll play nice with the fraternity, but she wants the greek house removed. If she can create a power vacuum, just like the one that existed when Alpha Lambda was formed, GR can take the new spot as the most influential house on campus.

+ Intelligent, Ambitious, Dedicated

- Rash, Selfish, Controlling

Connections

Callie Song: Callie has reached out to Helen, from sorority leader to sorority leader, in hopes to mend the rift between the two greek houses, and the resentment GR harbours against AL. Helen supports this idea, but hasn’t acted upon it yet. A good leader can get along well with others, and this reconnection could be an excellent chance for Helen to show herself as a peacemaker. But AL is the more popular sorority, and she cannot allow that if GR is to replace EDP.

Paisley Green: Paisley Green is the biggest threat to everything Helen has built over her years at TEI. Paisley is the girl who could single handedly prevent her plans for GR, and ruining Helen’s plan for the future. Helen only has one year to put together her plan to put the sorority at the top, and no one can be allowed to stand in her way.

Hailey Sprig: Helen is Hailey’s older sister, and where Helen makes things happen, Hailey watches things happen. Hailey’s a quieter girl, and Helen has tried her best to be a role model for her, to direct her. The girls have drifted apart however at The Emor Institute, but Helen still keeps up with trying to assist Hailey, telling her where to go and showing her whats best for her.

“You see things. You keep quiet about them. And you understand.” ― Stephen Chbosky

Bio

Hailey Sprig is possibly the most intelligent girl attending The Emor Institute,but it’s unlikely anyone will ever notice her, let alone know her brilliance. Hailey is a quiet girl, not antisocial, but she’s someone who prefers to watch and understand than someone who’s likely to make a scene. She loathes being in the limelight. She’ll gladly leave that up to her older sister, Helen, someone who is just as much a dictator as she is a leader. Hailey’s prized possession is her journal, which she’s kept ever since she could write. It’s so much more than a diary of her day, Hailey records everything she learns about the world in her journal, and no one has ever seen it. It possesses secrets far darker than anyone could predict. Hailey prefers solidarity, or closeness with a select few individuals she can trust and rely on. Her sister is far more extroverted, and can actually be rather controlling, especially when to comes to Hailey. It’s almost as if she’s trying to command her. Hailey understands that her sister is doing what she believes is best, and although she knows otherwise, she allows her sister this temporary control. It’s better choice than trying to resist Helen anyways.

Hailey is a wallflower. She sees everything, and she may be one of the only people to claim that she know’s everyone who is on campus, at least by face. No one see’s her as a threat, in fact few even see her at all. They look right past her. Hailey’s the person who is most likely to discover whatever deep dark secret you keep, but despite the silent threat that Hailey is, she’s not malevolent. In fact, she’s a rather warm hearted, kind girl to anyone who bothers to speak to her. She’s extremely empathetic, and if she’s given the opportunity can be the loyalist of friends. Few do notice her however, and she prefers it that way, content to study the world around her.

+ Perceptive, Kind, Intelligent

- Fragile, Over Accommodating, Passive

Connections

Helen Sprig: Helen is far too controlling when it comes to Hailey’s life. Hailey is Helen’s younger sister, and she understands that Helen is just trying to help, but she doesn’t need help. She plays along with Helen though, electing to appease her sister than risk making waves. She’s drifted away from her sister at TEI, giving Hailey her first independence in her life. Hailey almost feels more peaceful without her sister trying to dictate her life.

Evaline Whisper: Evaline doesn’t have a voice, but she’s a girl who has more to say about the world than anyone else Hailey’s ever met. And Hailey admires that. Hailey may notice more about the world, but she does little to interact with it. Evaline is a determined girl who wants to change the world, and Evaline is a girl with the hear to make time, even for the quiet girl like Hailey. The two have spoken, and they’ve begun to grow closer to one another. Evaline is another girl Hailey trusts, and she hopes that some of things she’s observed about the world can be of some help to Evaline.

Paisley Green: Paisley has been more of a sister to Hailey than her actual sister has. Pasiley’s remarkable ability to empathize with her, as well as her extreme kindness, Hailey looks up to Paisley. The girls have grown to be close friends, and Hailey trusts Paisley. Although, Hailey is aware that this relationship angers her sister, it is one of her few acts of independence, and of defiance.

“There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you.” ― Maya Angelou, I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings

Bio

Callie’s always been passionate. She’s always known what she wants and has never waited around for it to come to her. Callie makes things happen. She is a woman of action, of change. The oldest of four sisters, she’s been a role model as long as she can remember. She was mom when her Mom couldn’t be. Being the oldest in a large family means she a lot of responsibility, especially when it comes to working with children. She knows how children think, and she knows that you cannot treat every kid the same. You must talk to them each as if they’re special, help them in their own way in order for them to learn, to grow into the unique individuals they will become. Callie has great ties with her family, especially with her sisters and when one of her sisters, Peyton, was lost, Callie took much of the blame onto herself. Peyton’s death devastated her, and she vowed that she would do everything she can to prevent another tragedy like that of her sister from happening again.

Callie’s move to university opened her up from the small world that was her and her family, now extending her loving care to everyone who needs her. She often tells others that her door is open to everyone, and should anyone need someone to talk to, Callie will be there for them. Callie’s an Alpha Lambda girl, and has been since she started at TEI. She was a freshman when Alpha Lambda was only a year old, and knew the girls who created the sorority. She believed strongly in the core beliefs that Alpha Lambda was founded on, focusing on the uniquness of the individual. Today, she is the president of Alpha Lambda and her goal for her year before she graduates is to repair the relations between Alpha Lambda and Gamma Rho.

+ Nurturing, Generous, Intelligent

- Guilty, Naive, Emotional

Connections

Elle Song: Elle is the baby of the family. And Callie is the oldest. Now that they’ve moved away from their parents, of course Callie has taken a motherly attitude with Elle. Plus, after what happened with Peyton, Callie is extra protective with Elle. She doesn’t know what she’d do if she lost another sister. She’d never be able to forgive herself.

Emily Song: Emily and Callie are closer with each other than any of the other sisters. Callie seems to be the only to ‘get’ Emily, and Callie seems to be the only one to treat her exactly as she wants. Callie’s motherly to both of her sisters, but Emily seems the most receptive to it. Now that they share the sorority as well, the girls seem to only have grown closer than before.

Helen Sprig: Callie has high hopes for Helen. These girls are the leader of the two sororities on campus, and although the greek houses have a rough past in relation to one another, Callie hopes to bring peace to the feud. Helen has seem responsive to Callie’s desire, but it seems Helen has been avoiding giving Callie a direct solution. Callie has to find Helen if she is to repair the relations between the two greek houses.

“To make people feel special you don’t have to pay money but rather pay attention.” ― Orrin Woodward

Bio

Emily and her twin sister Peyton are the middle children in the Song family. Combine that with how close in age each of the sisters are, and it’s easy to understand why these girls didn’t get a lot of attention when they were young. However, each girl handled it a little bit differently. Where Peyton used it to her advantage, sneaking out and bending the rules without being noticed, Emily craved what she didn’t have: attention. The one person who was good at making Emily feel special was her oldest sister, Callie. In fact, it was Callie who discovered Emily’s musical talent, and encouraged her to develop it. Emily wanted so badly to be special. To standout. And it’s difficult when your the middle child in a large family, when even your face is not your own. Emily felt even more lost however, when one night, her sister Peyton snuck out. But Peyton never did come back. She was lost for five months, and those months were the most painful of Emily’s life. As different as Emily and Peyton were, they were sisters, they were twins, they were two parts of a whole and, suddenly, a piece of her was missing. Emily knew that Peyton was dead long before they found her body.

Emily’s musical talent eventually became a passion. Music to Emily was what made her special. The attention she craved is fulfilled when she performs, and everyone experiences music differently, so having something that you can feel so uniquely was exactly what Emily needed. If Callie hadn’t been the one to help Emily develop her passion, she may have resisted following her to TEI, but she stuck with Callie, and now that she’s out on her own, she finally feels like she’s beginning to flourish. She now feels like she’s her own person. She’s an individual and everything she’s wanted to be. Even though she’s followed her sister in Alpha Lambda, she’s doing things on her own instinct, her own reason. She no longer feels like just another Song sister, but that hole left by Peyton’s absent may never be filled.

+ Creative, Independent, Fun-loving

- Insecure, Self-centered,  Jealous

Connections

Elle Song: Emily has always been a little jealous of Elle. Elle, being the youngest, always got the attention that Emily wanted. Even worse, Elle seemed to be closer with Peyton than Emily was, which to Emily didn’t feel right. But they’re sisters, and they love each other. Petty things like jealousy won’t change that. Emily’s happier at school now that she’s ever been, and she’s anticipating Elle’s arrival on campus eagerly.

Callie Song: Callie and Emily are closer to each other than any of their sisters. Callie was the only one who seemed to really ‘get’ Emily, and she was the only one who could make Emily feel special the way she always wanted to. Callie was the one who encouraged Emily’s musical talent, and now that the girls share Alpha Lambda as well they’ve only grown closer in their years since they’ve left home.

Dylan Reynold: Something is off about Dylan Reynold. Emily can feel it. Emily could tell something was wrong from the moment they met. She doesn’t know how, but she knows something is off. And he must know it too, because when he first saw her, he looked like he saw a ghost. Still, despite Emily’s suspicion, she doesn’t want to say anything she might regret. With Dylan’s popularity, saying the wrong thing means she could be shunned and loose everything she’s built at TEI.

““If you want to keep a secret, you must also hide it from yourself.” ― George Orwell, 1984

Bio

Aimee Collins is the girl every other girl wanted to be in high school. Pretty, perky and popular, this girl has made her life look perfect and made her perfection look effortless. Her family fortune doesn’t hurt either. However, despite what Aimee wants everyone to believe, no one is perfect, not even her. She’s worked hard to create her guise of perfection, but every disguise has it’s cracks, Aimee is worried that she might have one that she cannot hide. Aimee has a secret. Her secret? She’s gay. But she couldn’t possibly be gay, she’s Aimee Collins. She is going to grow up, get married, have children, her life will be as pristine and perfect as her high school career. She has expectations to live up to, her mother’s expectations. She couldn’t be gay. She’s dated boys. She’s done much more than date boys. Now, it’s not that Aimee has a problem with people being gay, Aimee has a problem with her being gay. Aimee loves love and everything to do with it. From romantic novels to the cheesiest romcom, she gets starry-eyed. Still, she can never say she’s been in love. She doesn’t know what love feels like. She only knows the way boys treat her, and the way girls make her feel.

Aimee’s very passionate about helping others. She’s so good at pretending to be perfect that others have often come to look up to her, and after helping a few people with their personal problems, Aimee’s involvement in charity work has steadily grown. Her parents are extremely supportive of her giving nature, and with their wealth they can more than afford to give to those with less.

Aimee has buried her secret deep within her. She continues with boys, hoping that if she ignores her feelings long enough, or just finds the right boy maybe her life will become what it is supposed to be. With university starting, she has once again picked of her mask of perfection and she’s leaving her family behind in Texas. Will this change of scenery be what she needs to finally accept the feelings inside of her? Will her mask crack and people see through the perfect life she has built? Will Aimee feel love for this first time in her life?

+ Flirty, Energetic, Generous

- Insecure, Secretive, Gossip

Connections

Elle Song: Aimee didn’t plan on rushing a sorority. She thought best to distant herself from living with that many girls. Sure, sorority girls may be popular, but Aimee never struggled with that before, so why put herself in a situation where she might have to hide her feelings? But when Aimee and Elle met they hit it off immediately, and Elle was able to convince Aimee to rush with her, especially when Aimee couldn’t come up with a real reason she didn’t want to.

Zeke Sparrow: Zeke has taken an interest to Aimee from the moment she stepped on campus. Aimee’s not particularly interested, especially since she’s still so new to campus, but she also knows that she could do a lot worse. With his status he’s clearly high on the social ladder. Aimee hasn’t pushed him away, but she hasn’t really led him on yet either.

Paisley Green: If Aimee Collins was gay, which she’s not, she would definitely have a crush on Paisley Green. The girl herself is stunning, and her passion for others, for any cause, is inspiring. Paisley’s got a plan to reform Gamma Rho, and has taken the responsibility of being Aimee’s guide for rushing the sorority, but Paisley’s movement has caused a divide in the sorority, and getting involved could cost her a bid. And not getting a bid would infuriate Elle, and possibly threaten the perfect persona Aimee’s trying to put on.
