College is a really hard time for everyone. I left for school in fear, like a bone chilling earth-shattering fear, that I would leave everyone behind and never make any new friends. Rush kind of changed that for me, I really couldn't believe that such an amazing group of women would ever want me as their sister. But they did. So bid day and everything that followed really felt magical. People cared about me, my pledge class is incredible! Then you came into my life and nothing has been the same since. You made my life and this sisterhood infinitely better.

I have never been one to feel wanted, included, or like I belong. My life changed when I joined your family and I honestly don't know how I ever got along without you. Thank you for letting me make bad choices and waiting until the next day to judge me. Thank you for playing with my hair when I'm stressed. Thank you for always wanting to take pictures, I've almost got the sorority squat down. Thank you for letting me cry on your floor when I'm stressed and for offering to buy me ice cream when I got my heart broken. Thank you for driving me to Taco Bell and Sonic and Tolly Ho and wow, I get a lot of fast food, anyway. Where was I? Oh, yeah! Thanks for listening when I ramble on about life.

But you are so much more than someone who does good things for me. You guide me. You've done all this stuff before and you always know how to help. You know all our songs and ritual aspects and lead me through meetings and new events. And not to mention you know all my favorite things and are one of my best friends! So thank you for leading me and loving me. Thanks for being everything and everyone I need and thanks for showing me I deserve you. I hope to be half as amazing as you one day.
