Dear Kappa Kappa Gamma,

Thank you.

Thank you for surrounding me with women who challenge, support, and encourage me every day. Thank you for giving me a sisterhood that is always there for me, and a network that spans the country. Thank you for making me laugh, cry, and cheer louder than I ever have before.

Thank you for being my home.

Going through recruitment, you snuck up on me. On Bid Day, I knew that we were meant to be, and I haven't looked back since.

I suppose any sorority can claim sisterhood, friendships, and memories, but something is different about this one. There is something uniquely amazing that I feel when I walk in the doors of Kappa, something that makes my heart speed when I meet a sister from another school. It is through Kappa that I have found friends that will last a lifetime, women who I know will be there through thick and thing.

Perhaps any sorority woman can say that. I would go so far as to question her experience if she couldn't. Any sorority should feel like a home to those women who proudly wear its letters.

Sororities are made up of people, though, and I believe that it is the people of Kappa Kappa Gamma that have made such an impact on my life.

Thank you to girls who will sing at the top of their lungs with me, get excited over the little things, and always offer a hug when I need one.

Thank you to the girls who can tell right away when something is wrong, and know exactly the words I need to hear.

Thank you to the girls who made Kappa a home.

Kappa, thank you for bringing me these girls. Thank you for allowing all of us to grow together, to become who we are together.

Kappa Kappa Gamma, thank you.
