An Open Letter To My Chapter

It would not be the same without you

An Open Letter To My Chapter
Hannah Jager

From day one in the chapter, I knew that my life would be changed forever. Joining a sorority was never in my big plan for college but here I am two years later and loving my chapter more than ever before. Joining a sorority has made me even more of a women than I ever felt I could become in college.

Within my past three years at college, I have watched people walk out of my life as quickly as they entered it. However, when it came to sisters they never left, graduated and got big girl jobs yes but never walked out of my life. Over the years the love for my chapter has grown. With each new member that walks through the doors, there is the hope that with each bid class that my chapter will continue to expand many years after I graduate.

Everyone always asks if I am paying for my friends or if I go out partying every single night. The answer to both of those is no. If I paid for my friends then I did not pay enough and there is this little thing called classes that are more important than going out partying. The sisters I have gained during my years in the chapter have stuck with me through thick and thin.

Every break-up, bad exam score, and every single bad day that I have had during my three years of college they have been there to help me through it. When I was at my lowest of low my sisters were there to help me back up again. When I felt like nothing was going in my favor my sisters made me realize that I was attending an amazing school and that I was surrounded by a hundred sisters who loved me. While I never planned to join a sorority I can honestly say that I am beyond happy with my decision to join one and even more happy with my decision to stay. I do not think my college experience would be what it is today without my sisters.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
