To Phi Mu: Thank You For Showing Me How To Be A Faithful Sister

“To practice day by day love, honor, truth”

Dear Phi Mu,

There was not a better time for you to come into my life. You found me in a crucial moment. I was anxiously beginning college, not knowing which building was which, and making friends with people that were not the best fit for me. While going through recruitment, it did not take me long to figure out that I wasn’t finding a place to fit in, but rather finding a place that fit me. I did not have to change who I am to fit in here, I was accepted and embraced for who I am. Thank you for loving me for who I am and not forcing me to “fit the mold”.

Even though times may get tough and it can feel like I am alone, there is always a part of me that knows you will be in my corner. I did not just find a sister in Phi Mu, I found 27 strong women that have become my best friends. Whether it may be heartbreak or a cold, I know that someone will be there for me throughout the whole thing with chocolate chip cookies and El Som. I know that no matter where life takes me, there will always be a sister near—whether in distance or in heart. I will always have someone’s love and support for the rest of my life and for that I could not be more grateful.

You taught me how to open my eyes and see people for who they truly are. You showed me how to push past the stereotypes and really begin to get to know a person. You showed me what it is like to be real. Because of you, I have begun to see things in a new perspective. I see that there is so much more to life than whose makeup looks the best or who drives the fanciest car. I continue to find happiness in volunteering and philanthropy. I continue to find humility to fix things when I am in the wrong. Thank you for giving me the extra nudge that motivates me to be a humble leader, a good soul, and a Godly woman.

Thank you for showing me what it is like to live by the creed. You showed me how to be gentle, merciful, and just. You showed me how to be honorable, courteous, and tender. You showed me how to “practice day by day love, honor, truth”. I learned how to love others unconditionally. Loving others is something that I come by easily, but you gave loving others a whole new definition. I did not just learn how to love others, I learned how to serve others. I learned how to honor what is true to me. I honor Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals, Sir Fidel, and the Phi Mu Fraternity. You taught me how to be truthful beyond measures. Whether it be something that can hurt a sister or something as little as not liking their hair color, you have to be truthful.

I cannot thank you enough for showing me how to be a Faithful Sister.

LIOB,

Nikki

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.
