An Open Letter To My Future Pledge Daughter

Dear future dottie,

I am sure you are enjoying your summer, however I can't help but count down the days until rush! It makes me so excited to know that you will pick Tri Delta just as we have picked you! I hope your rush experience wasn't too crazy, but we can chat about that over lunch sometime. I would like to be the first to say welcome to the family! I can't even tell you how excited I am to have you as my pledge daughter. It is every sorority girl's dream to get the perfect little and my dream came true. You were chosen by our house because of your genuine beauty, both inside and out, and I can't wait to see how you grow throughout your four years here. If there's one thing I can tell you right now, it is to buckle up because you are in for a crazy ride. Welcome to your new, crazy pledge family.

Freshman year can be tough considering the huge change that is college, but I promise to be your "mom away from Mom." I promise to help you pick out the perfect formal dress, to be the shoulder when you need to let out the tears, and the ride for your 3 a.m. Taco Bell cravings. I also promise to embarrass you at your first college party, post silly pictures on your birthday, and to treat you as I would any of my best friends, with sarcastic comments and hugs. I will try my best to always be your best friend and sister, but most importantly, your pledge mom.

The memories we will make together will be endless. We will remember how awkward it was when we first met because if you are my pledge daughter, you are just as weird as me. We will dance our hearts out at formal and most likely ditch our dates to go get pizza. We will raise money for our favorite cause, St. Jude, and help out all the sick kiddos. We will spend some Saturday nights curled up on the couch in social watching sappy movies when the boy you or I liked screwed us over. We will laugh, cry, smile, dance, win, and lose together because that is what families do.

Love,

Your super excited and awkward but totally awesome and cool future pledge mom.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
