One love, one letter.

9 Ways You Know You're a Tri Delta

1. Poseidon is your homeboy.

As God of the Ocean, as ruler of our hearts, he is the reason for the strength and love we feel as well as many of our symbols and mascot.

2. You actually know how to spell, and say, cerulean.

As a pearl when you first learned about our colors, you asked yourself how would you ever be able to remember this specific shade of blue let alone how to spell it. Time went on and now it's a game of who can say it the fastest.

3. You do everything in three's.

Subconsciously or not, you always catch yourself in sets of three's. Whether it comes to crafting, buying shirts or any aspect of your daily life you have come to realize that life is better in three's. Plus you can't forget triple the letter, triple the lady, triple the fun!

4. One love, one letter, one cause.

You love to see the St. Jude logo on just about everything and secretly want to be philanthropy chair just to visit the children's hospital, Tri Delta Place, and interact with the little ones you have helped to save. Plus who doesn't love being known as a triangle girl.

5. It's St. Jude, not St. Jude's.

No 's'. You want to know how to get under our skin, call our philanthropy by the wrong name and we will quickly put you in your place. Sorry, but get it right.

6. Girl Power.

Tri Delta is the first sorority to establish it's purpose, rituals, symbols and insignia's all without the help of men. Shout out to Sarah Ida Shaw for that one.

7. T-Shirt swap.

The second Facebook page you joined after becoming an active member, the first being your own sorority page. You check this site hourly waiting to see what new designs they've come up with and when the order link is ready for that adorable quarter zip you've been dying to get.

8. Tuesday is your favorite day of the week.

Well of course I'm talking about Tri Delta Tuesday. You search for the perfect picture from the weekend before or a throwback from bid day when you fell in love with the girl who later became your big. Nothing makes you happier than scrolling through your Instagram feed full of your sisters and adding your picture to the bunch.

9. "Let us steadfastly love one another" is no longer just a motto, but a way of life.

The sisterhood you are a part of and the relationships you have made because of this organization go deeper then just liking the person next to you in meeting. You have invested your time and effort into each other and in return have found women that will be standing next to you on your wedding day. When they say it's not four years but for life, they really aren't kidding.

Delta Love!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
