An Open Letter To My Pledge Class

Dear PC,

When we started this journey most of you were strangers, and honestly their were a few of you I didn't think I was going to like at all, but as I sit here today trying to write out my feelings for you into words, listening to Sugar by Maroon 5, my heart over flows with love for my PC Babies. Who knew that after our pledge season I would feel so connected to a bunch of girls that are at first sight are nothing like me but are now bonded together with a core set of values and a love for cobalt blue. Sometimes I like to think about where I would be without these amazing, strong, and powerful women by my side, and truthfully, it is a scary thought. When I am panicked about a big job interview or excited about a first date, you ladies are there to keep me calm and pump me up. In life its the little things that matter, it is the morning coffee runs before Bid Day, that late night shenanigans, and the overwhelming group texts that mean the most over time. It has always been me against the world, but now the world better watch out because I have a fierce group of women standing with me ready to take down the patriarchy. From those standing on the outside you may not understand but that is okay, who would if you have not walked the same journey. Just remember that when you judge us for throwing what we know or jamming way too hard to A$AP Rocky.

I never really thought that sorority life would be for me. I alway thought that most of the girls I would be surrounded by would constantly be all about hair and makeup, talk about parties, and all be tall, skinny, hot blondes, but as soon as I took a leap of faith and joined you on the very first day of pledge season, I knew all those cliches would soon disappear. As soon as I got my very first bid that said "welcome to the sisterhood" and I ran out there to join the actives, with y'all by my side, I knew I would never regret this decision.

As we get older and have less time for all night talking sessions and don't get to see each other as much, remember that time cannot take away our memories or our bond, unfortunately for you guys, you are stuck with me and all my crazy habits and weird food cravings. We will always be posting inside jokes on each others Facebook pages and commenting flame emojis whenever anyone posts a selfie, and to others that may seem fake but we know that it just a daily reminder of our love. So thank you to dancing next to me to Selena's "Bidi Bidi Bom Bom" in our bustier, singing all the disney songs and remixing them at the top of our lungs, always sending me snapchats whenever you hear "Sugar" and always sending the best reminders of your love and support any time, any hour of the day.


People say the friends you make in college will be the friends for the rest of you life, and with you lovely ladies by my side, my life is going to be a wild ride, but I wouldn't have it any other way!

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.
