Dear Delta Gamma,

I don't think you realize how truly loved and appreciated you are. As a member of Delta Gamma, there are several unique things that apply to my life that don't necessarily apply to other people's lives and I think that is just such a special connection all Delta Gammas share. So DG, I'd like to thank you for some of the ways in which being a Delta Gamma has impacted my life, and if you are also a member of this incredible fraternity (yes, I said fraternity) then hopefully you feel the same way too. So here goes:

Thank you for giving me a reason to love/purchase any type of nautical object or piece of clothing, especially if it has an anchor on it.

Thank you for giving me a new appreciation for society's improper use of "good" and "well" so that I can throw it whenever somebody says they "did good."

Thank you for having three completely different color options because not all of us can look good in some of those shades.

Thank you for giving me an actual excuse to take pictures on/near/in front of any boat or anchor so that I don't just look like a basic girl attempting to take a cute picture, but because I have a personal connection to anything that can anchor down.

Thank you for having a founding date that is easy to remember because it has the same numbers as the Fetty Wap's lyrics "1738." (It was founded in 1873 just so you know)

Thank you for allowing us to have Service for Sight as our national philanthropy not only because it's an incredible cause but because service dogs are just so sweet and cute.

Thank you for having Greek letters whose shapes can so easily be used in writing because it especially helps when coming up with clever Instagram captions.

Thank you for having such catchy door chants that get stuck in your head (and PNM's heads) during recruitment... and all throughout the year if we're being honest.

Thank you for giving us the opportunity to "rep DG" whenever we are asked how we did on something. For example, "how did you do on that test/how did you play in that game/how did that first date go?" ... "Did Good."

NO thank you for creeping me out with Hannah, but I suppose I'll forgive you for that one because sometimes a little spook is fun.

Thank you for giving me the opportunity to meet and become best friends with such incredible, crazy, hilarious, gorgeous, lovable, goofy ladies who I get to share all of these great things in common with.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
