Home Away From Home

Recently, I have gone through Recruitment. I rushed to find my "home away from home." Sigma Kappa is my forever home. I am so happy and thrilled that I will have those girls by my side throughout the rest of my collegiate career.

I am a sophomore. I did not rush during my freshman year because I wanted to take the time to focus on my academics. I wanted to basically plant my feet first and I have been successful with that, so I thought it would be the right time to join one of the three great Sororities on my campus. When going through Recruitment, I had a tough time deciding on the second night. And on the third night? I knew exactly where I belonged: Sigma Kappa.

I found my forever home at Sigma Kappa. I cannot think of anywhere I would rather be. I honestly feel at home when I am with my sisters. I feel like I belong somewhere. I know that those girls will be here for me when I need them. For these reasons, I knew I needed to be apart of the Sigma Kappa family.

Not only do I have my sisters, but I have had my best friend by my side the whole time. I have friends in each of the sororities, so I went into the houses clear and open minded. I wanted to find the place that I belonged. My heart sister is my best friend, Haley. She has been here for me since the beginning of freshman year and I do not know where I would be without this girl. She has literally been my rock through everything. When I ran home to Sigma Kappa, she was the one I ran too and of course, we hugged and we both started to cry.

This was the moment I knew for sure that I made the right decision. I have the best Heart Sister anyone could ask for (and best friend). I have amazing sisters. I have a support system. I have a place to call home. I have a place where I can be myself and no one will judge me. I appreciate being accepted into Sigma Kappa.

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.
