An Open Letter To My Sorority

I'm having too much fun here.

An Open Letter To My Sorority
Phi Mu

Dear Phi Mu,

My semester has been full of spontaneous decisions, from going on a mini road trip with my friends to buying a bunch of holiday decorations with my roommates and so much more. Signing up for sorority recruitment was, by far, the best one. Putting myself out there and asking for acceptance is not something that I particularly enjoyed while going through the process, but I am so glad I did it. It brought me to my new home away from home. I know that sounds cheesy and lame, but it’s so true.

In the short eight-week new member program, you gave me 32 new best friends. I can’t wait to spend the next few years with these people. They are the greatest friends, and sisters, in the entire world. I love to be with them, whether we’re at Qdoba for the burrito sale on Wednesday, at Applebee’s for Half-off Apps, or just hanging out somewhere on campus, I know that we honestly enjoy being together. That’s the best feeling in the world.

A few weeks after I jumped off the stage into Phi Mu, we had Big-Little Mixers for about a week. I was terrified. I thought I was done with that whole asking for acceptance thing for a while. I was worried that all of the Bigs were going to hate me and that I would end up alone. Of course, I was being completely irrational. That obviously didn’t happen. I found my perfect Big, who I love more than anything. We spend so much time together. We even have plans to make cookies together before we both have to go home for Christmas.

It's only been about one week since initiation. That was one of my favorite days this semester. I am officially stuck with Phi Mu for the rest of my life, and I couldn’t be happier about it. The day after the 32 of us were initiated, we had to say good-bye to a few seniors. I didn’t get to know any of them very well since I have only been involved with the chapter for one semester. Still, it was an emotional day. Someone told my new member class afterward that we got to see the beginning and the end of our time in the chapter within two days. I don’t want to think about my end yet. I’m having too much fun here.

I’ve always been an introvert, so I never thought that I would enjoy spending time with a massive group of girls, but I love it so much. I love having a group of people that I can text or call whenever I need a break from studying or I just want to get out of my room for a while.

Rho Delta Chapter of Phi Mu, you’ve changed my life already. I can’t wait to see what the future holds for me in this chapter.

All my love,

Rayna

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
