An Open Letter To The Girls Who Sorority Squatted With Me On Bid Day
Bridgette Connolly

Dear girls,

On August 30, 2015, we all became sisters. We all got the opportunity to join an organization that we feel at home in. I do not mean to sound super sappy when I say this, but I feel more at home with this group of girls than I ever have with anyone else. Going through recruitment I had no idea who any of you were. Didn't know your name, your interests, your beliefs. But the day we got our bid cards and sorority squatted in the hot sun for the longest picture, I knew that this group of girls would change my life. They always say that you share a special bond with your pledge class. Words cannot describe how true that is. We turned to each other during new member meetings about how confused we were about the rules. We struggled together trying to figure out who to make our big. We laugh together about the things we do that would get us into so much trouble. And we always let each other know about any free food opportunity around town.

I may not have actually held a conversation with all of you, but I adore you all. I want to spend my college career in a sorority that builds me as a person with a group of girls I know I can always count on. I can always count on you guys for making me laugh with a silly tweet. I can count on you for blowing up the GroupMe with plans for the night or other sneak sneaky things. I can count on every single one of you for always giving a friendly smile on campus. I can and will always count on you guys for giving me the time of my life. When I am old and looking back on my college memories I'm going to think about the nights we took over the Dojo or Cabin. I'm going to remember all those study dates, food runs and long talks about all those fraternity guys. I know that when I think about these things you are still going to be in my life to laugh with me out them.

I cannot thank you guys enough for how much you have already impacted my life. For all the memories we already have and all the ones we still have to make. I am so happy to be apart of a group that is always going to have my back for the small and complicated things. I am thankful for all the friendships we have made with one another. I am thankful for these friends and for these sisters who are more than friends.

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.
