Dear Sorority Sisters,
If sorority life is supposed to be defined by a mansion, I could fill 100 with all love I have for you all. People always say that when you join your sorority, you have a coming home moment, and I have them all the time, when you are there to support me, challenge me, encourage me, laugh with me, and most importantly, love me. These are the moments that I thank God for, because it means that I have all of you.
I’m not sure how I ever survived without Tri Delta. I’ve only been a member for a couple of months, and I have feel like I’ve been with you all forever. There are some girls that I don’t talk to on a regular basis, but I look for your smiling faces on campus every day, and then there are girls that have become some of my best friends. Through endless coffee dates, study sessions, and bounding over Kate Spade and Erin Condren in chapter, you have all grown on me. When I started at Boise State, I hated it; I didn’t want to be here, and my Google search history consisted of transfer dates for every school I had turned down to go to Boise State. I grew up here, and I’d never felt so out of place.
Then one day, in my math class, I got an email asking me if I wanted to do COB with Tri Delta, and something clicked. Of course, I said yes. Ever since I was in tenth grade, I had loved Tri Delta, mainly because it was the only sorority I could pronounce. But there was something about it, on its websites and recruitment videos, that made me want to be a part of it. Shortly after this, I came home; I suddenly didn’t feel so alone, I had girls to talk to on campus, get coffee with, and suddenly, my weekends were spent with activities and not "Gossip Girl." My life changed a lot, and it’s all because of you. You took Boise State and made it home.
We aren’t perfect; we are all far from it, and our sorority is changing. Soon, we will have new members, and they will become a part of something bigger then all of us. Despite the problems that we face, there is one thing that we have going for us: we have each other. And in that group of girls are 130 incredible girls that love each other. When I sat in the chapel with you all during retreat, all I could feel was love. And that’s really what has brought us all together; our love for Tri Delta, our love for St. Jude, and our love for each other. We aren’t even close to the end, we are just beginning, and we have so much going for us. Never forget that.
I really believe in our sisterhood, and in all of you! You all have touched me in so many ways, more than words can express. I hope you all know how incredible you are; there isn't one girl that I don't envy in some way, because you all make me want to be a better person. We will continue to grow, and come together. Because without us, our chapter wouldn’t exist, and I couldn’t imagine Boise State without us. DLAM.
