We started from the bottom and now we're here.

A Letter To My Pledge Class As We Enter 2017
Ragan Young

Well, we've entered a year, which mean, new classes, new people, new pledges, new drama, new bumps in the road. I learned a lot about myself in 2016, but I couldn't have done it without you ladies.

Dear PC 15,

We've been through hell and back in 2016, from going to one of the biggest pledge classes, to one of many, but close-knit people. We're going to take on the world together in 2017. I've never been more proud to call each and every one of you a sister. Let's be real here, Joce can lift more than I've seen a man lift. KJ is one of the most inspirational people I've ever met, and Loren, you are my sunshine on my bad days. I can't give you all individual shout outs or we'd be here forever, but ladies, from the bottom of my heart, thank you. I could not get through this year without any of you by my side.

Thank you, ladies, for becoming part of what I see as a part of my family. We pick each other up when one of us is down. We bicker and we fight, but when do sisters not bicker and fight? Thank you, ladies, for supporting me and any of us when we're going through hard times, it happens to all of us, but some of us are better at hiding it than others. But if any of you need a shoulder to cry on, someone to vent to, or someone to fight for you, call a sister, that's what we're here for.

This year made me realize that PC 15 is going places. We are a force to be reckoned with. We can't stop, we won't stop. You all make me very proud to call you sisters. I cannot wait to see what we do for this chapter, because it is our turn to make a difference. We have to prove that we are ready to take on the responsibility to make this chapter better than what it was when we came into it. We had amazing leaders when we were new members Sarah and Christine were great, Maddie and Grace were too. Bailey and Jacquelyn will do even better.

Once again thank you, ladies, for a great year, cannot wait to see what's next for us.

Much love and ITB,

A sister who needed you

PS: Can we have more PC dinners to El Mezcal?

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.
