Well, I survived rush week. It was a week full of laughter and tears, surprises, laughter and lots and lots of screaming and hugging. It definitely didn't turn out exactly how I thought it would -- it turned out better than I ever could've expected or wished for.
I found a home full of incredible, genuine, funny, kind, and warm-hearted women. Each has their own quirks and things that make us unique, but we all have a common bond. We are all Kappa Kappa Gamma women of the Mu chapter.
Even though I haven't been a part of this sisterhood long, I can already tell just how incredible this is going to continue to be. Ever since running home to the Kappa Kastle, I've felt nothing but overwhelming love and welcome from these incredible women. Greeted with hugs and shouts of "Welcome home!" I felt loved and wanted. Dancing on the lawn and laughing together, I knew that I truly was home. They've shared stories, given advice and proven over and over just how much they really do care about us new members. From hours spent in the penthouse room talking and laughing to walking through the snow and cold together, I already know with complete certainty that I love these girls.
Recruitment was tough, it was long and exhausting, but I found that each time I visited these women, I found myself at ease and not wanting to leave. I was able to joke and laugh with them and had amazing conversations. They remembered my name and things we talked about and took a genuine interest in me and who I am, and I couldn't be more grateful.
Now, I want to say thank you to all of the amazing women in this house, and I know that these are just going to be the first of many. Thank you for remembering small things about me. Thank you for genuinely complimenting me and making me feel like I mattered. Thank you for fighting for me and for accepting me into this sisterhood. Thank you for making me feel welcome and loved right off the bat. Thank you for sharing advice and stories, and for remembering my name (I'm sorry I don't know all of yours yet!). But, mostly, thank you for believing in me and believing that your sisterhood is where I belonged
And to my fellow PC, I want to thank you as well. Thank you for also being accepting and loving. Thank you for the laughter and the memories made already in just this short amount of time. I can't wait to get to grow closer to you all throughout these next years and to make memories that will last a lifetime. I know that we together as a sisterhood will be able to make a massive difference in the world through our philanthropies and will continue to make it a better place through service.
I can't even begin to express how proud I am to be a Kappa Kappa Gamma and to be able to share a bond with such incredible women. I've found sisterhood and home at the Kappa Kastle, the women who wear the golden key.
