An Open Letter To Our New Members

Dear New Members,

We know this weekend and the recruitment process, in general, was stressful, emotional, and long, but congratulations, you've found your forever home.

Now, before the fun stuff starts, there are a few things that must be done, such as some ceremonies that may seem dumb, at first, and clothes that need to be purchased pretty quickly in order to attend these ceremonies.

So, please hang tight— the first week is a little chaotic and rocky as everyone is throwing information at you, telling you who to contact with any questions, and different numbers to put in your phone along with various events and times to make note of.

We are all more than ecstatic to have you with us and can only hope you enjoy this experience as much as we do.

So, put on your seatbelts and get ready to take more pictures than you could have ever imagined, and get your planners ready because you will be having many lunch dates with everyone to get to know your new sisters very quickly.

Yes, the sorority squat is a thing, and you will get the hang of it very quickly..

Life is going to be pretty busy at times, and new member education programs will begin to kick in to full effect, but stick with it and be there for your fellow new member class sisters because everyone is in the same boat as you.

Oh, and you can always confide in your actives; we’ve all been there and done that, we know how overwhelming it can be and the quantity of information needed to be known in a quick amount of time.

All of our planning and practice has now finished, and we are more than happy to welcome you into our sisterhood with open arms; now buckle up and enjoy the ride!

After all, it's not four years, it's for life.

Sincerely,

An active who's been there and done that and take it from me, it's worth every second of it

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.
