An Open Letter To My Sorority Sisters

I wear my letters on my front because I know my sisters have my back

An Open Letter To My Sorority Sisters
Tessa Giamberdino

Dear Sisters,

If you were to tell me a year ago that I would be a member of a sorority, I wouldn’t have believed you. Before arriving here, I had never really thought about myself as a “sorority girl,” but now I couldn’t think of myself as not being one. Not a day goes by where I regret joining your sisterhood.

Thank you sisters for accepting me from the moment I walked into the house on the first day of recruitment. There has never been a time in our house where I haven’t felt comfortable being me. I always know that I can go to any one of you and have a heart to heart conversation about anything that is going on without judgement. I know that I can count on all of you to be there for me in times of hardship as well as times of joy and excitement, and I hope that you all know that I will do the same for you. Thank you for helping me become a sister in your house.

Thank you for being my second family. Growing up, I had never really been away from home for any long period of time, so coming to college was a big step for me. I was unsure if I would like it because I wouldn’t have my family in the same place as me for the first time in my life. From the first day of recruitment, I saw the bond that was held between all of you and I knew that was something I wanted here. Even in the short amount of time that I have been a part of your sisterhood, I have already begun to feel that bond forming with each of you and I am excited to watch and feel it grow even stronger throughout my time as an Alpha Chi, so thank you! But most importantly, thank you for making me feel welcomed into your family even before I was fully and officially in it. Thank you for giving me forever sisters. I have met some of my very best friends through joining your sorority, and I know that these girls will always be in my life, whether they are present in person or just present in my heart.

Joining your sorority has been one of the best decisions that I have ever made. “Though time may pass, our sisterhood will last.”

LITB

Your Sister

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.
