To my boyfriend's brothers,
I was apprehensive about you guys, I'm not going to lie. When he told me that he was going to become one of you, I was more nervous than I had been in a while. Granted, I didn't know you yet, but can you blame me for worrying? Within a matter of a single week, you have taken such a prominent role in my boyfriend's life, automatically altering his priorities and changing the outlook of his college career. That's not something that you guys should take lightly, you mean so much to him now. Please, please, do not let him down.
Your organization is so lucky to have a man like him. He's given his all to you guys and he's going to continue to do so. He's going to be at every philanthropy event, he's going to excel in whatever office position he holds, he's going to make your fraternity better. I can be sure of every single one of these things becasue I had him first. He's been that way with every single thing he takes on, and you guys have better be damn grateful that he chose you. I know that I'm grateful he chose me. It's easy for members of your organization to be forgotten sometimes when there is that many of you, but he does not deserve to be forgotten. He deserves to be recognized for everything that he's given up to make you guys as great as you are. I'm personally asking you, make sure he knows how much he means to you. He's not always going to realize it.
I do get jealous of you sometimes. It's not something that a supportive girlfriend should admit, but you guys take up so much of his time. It's been hard for me to adjust to his new life. It was rough on us at first, and it still is sometimes. It takes time to realize how happy being your brother makes him; seeing him that enthused and excited to become a part of your family ultimately makes me happy too. Even if it hurts that I'm not the only one who makes him feel that way and even if it means more nights alone when he's with you, it's worth it to know that he's somewhere he belongs. That's why I need you to treat him right. I've given up a lot for the sake of you guys and if you're not thankful for him then it was all for nothing. I just need you guys to realize that you will rarely get anything better than him; I realize that I won't either.
I'm not saying that I wish he didn't accept your bid. I am so happy that he did because he's thriving on this campus and he's accomplishing more than he ever expected to. I always knew that he had it in him and now he's starting to realize it too. You've given him the opportunity to become even better than he already was and nothing else can give him that quite like you can. I'm just asking that you guys keep pushing him in the right direction and that you help me in always reminding him how good of a job he's doing; he tends to beat himself up and we need to show him how excellent he is.
I'm happy that he found you guys-just help me take care of our guy.
Sincerely,
Your Brother's girl
