InternsRock! is a way to show appreciation to interns, their hard work and their contributions.

The Life of a POSH Capitol Hill Intern v1

Greetings POSH readers.

I am an intern on Capitol Hill now..

I have been at my fellowship for the past three weeks; its felt like 1 week. Time flies, and it practically flies @ lightening speed on the Hill. I've had various meetings on the Hill including a committee meeting on foreign affairs, meeting with the Democratic Policy Committee, and several government Unions and professional organizations. But that's not the "blogworthy" part of my experience. Everyone does that.

What I have found "blogworthy" is in essence, confidential. Its GS classified (like everything else on the Hill) but this wouldn't be a good blog if I didn't expose it. Hence the following narrative:

So as a new intern I have been networking, meeting people, etc. And I've done it so much so that I have been "tapped" for a secret society. A secret society of interns that dates back to when the very House Reps ans Senators that we know of now started on the Hill (maybe?). A society of aspirants all with the look of political involvement, social takeover, and legal ascension on their BROW. Some call them SLAVES because of their dedication, some call them FLIPpin crazy, but however you see it, they (or we) have exposure to the Hill. You don't. They are ONE STEP closer to a dream of representing the most powerful nation in the world in some form or fashion (VOGUE).

I hear, members of this society are found throughout the hill, but I am still investigating the whereabouts of its membership. Now one thing I didn't mention about this group is their demographic make-up. Word on the street is that they are pre-dominately Black. My connection to the group is.

Its not uncommon for people in similar experiences to bond together. These groups are found throughout life like sororites and fraternities, book clubs, PTAs, and the like. I even heard of a secret society at the University of Pittsburgh when I attended… word on the street was I was a member of that one too…..

I will keep you posted on the society though. I hope Obama’s at the induction…
