An Open Letter To My Sorority Sisters

Because College Wouldn't Be The Same Without You

An Open Letter To My Sorority Sisters
Kristin Fitzsimons

To the women who changed my life for the better,

There are so many unique experiences that I have shared with all of you that I wouldn't change for the world. Thank you for the laughs we shared together, for the times you held me when I cried, for showing me the way when I didn't know where to turn and for your unconditional love and support no matter what.

There is no such thing as a "typical sorority girl," everyone has their own interests, skills and personalities. These traits are what brings all of us together and ones that set each chapter apart as their own special unit. Sorority life is so much more than partying, boys and alcohol. Although college is what you make of it, take the opportunities you have and never look back. Try something new. Go on spontaneous trips with your sisters. Stay up laughing together. Spend time together watching your favorite movies, just enjoying each other's company. These are the moments I am going to miss the most, the little ones.

Now I know it's not always going to be all "sunshine and rainbows" but these good times will always shine brightly when you are at your worst. When recruitment rolls around and you're so sleep deprived and frustrated, remember the kind words your sister gave you just that very morning. If you get a bad grade on a test you studied all night for, remember that your sisters WANT to help you and will (so much for buying your friends, am I right?). If you're having trouble at home, remember that your sisters will be the first ones at your side. If you lost someone close to you, remember that you are never alone. Hold on to these moments and you life will always be full.

Sometimes we may fight, as sisters do. But know that at the end of the day, no one will be there for you like a sister will. Remember that we are all human, and although we may stumble in life, they will always be there to pick you up when you fall. Mostly I'd like to thank you all for all that you do on a daily basis. Thank you for taking an interest in my academics and helping me to find a passion for learning. Thank you for staying in with me when I was having a bad day. Thank you for inviting me out when you saw me alone in my room. Thank you for extended me an invitation to be a part of an organization so much larger than just this campus alone.

So ladies, I want you to promise me something. Promise you will grab life with both hands and never let go. Promise you will always remember that you ARE worth it. Promise you will try to patient with others, even when it isn't easy. And finally, promise me that you'll wholeheartedly work to the advancement of the chapter, because we can't do it without you. Love you all!

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

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.
