I joined a sorority and not just any sorority, I joined the best one. The one I felt the most at home at, the one I could see myself walking in the front door with my pajamas on and no makeup, the one I laughed in and the one I cried in. It took me exactly two minutes to realize that this was home and this was where I would be and those were the girls who would soon become my sisters, my cheerleaders, my shoulders to cry on, and my fellow Netflix watchers.

I joined the sorority I was comfortable talking about my relationship with Christ in. Not just that but also where I could see myself not only investing in others, but having others invest in me. I grew up in church and I never had anyone truly take the time to invest in me and mentor me in my relationship with Christ and now I have that... not in a church (because I haven't found my perfect church home yet) but in a sorority. A sorority that is filled with love, life, and laughter. It is filled with women who practice what they preach and invest in the things and people they love. My sisters accept me for me. They don't care if my hair is frizzy or if my makeup is messed up from the rain. What they care about is who I am as a person. They care about the kind of food I like to eat and my favorite shows on Netflix. They care about my life goals. They care about what I care about and that makes me feel like a real person. I know that I'll never lose myself because they want me to invest in myself.

Deciding which sorority I wanted to be a part of was truly the easiest choice I have ever made. I knew that this was where God wanted me and I knew that He'd be able to use me there. I knew that I would love every second of every moment spent with my sisters. I knew that with everyday I spent with my ladies I would grow to love myself more and my choice more. For me, recruitment week was not easy. I had heartache and fears every day, but one thing that was good was being able to return to the house I now call home every single day. Being able to walk in the most gorgeous house on campus and knowing that it would be were I would life, cry, and eat for the next four years.

My sorority is everything I ever dreamed a sorority would be and so much more. To say I am blessed is an understatement. So here is one final shout out to the sorority I've been in love with since the beginning. To my sisters I can't wait to get to know each of you because I love all of you more than anything already. To my pledge class... we're the best and no one can deny it.

Much, much love from ya girl.
