A little while ago, I sat in a chapel surrounded by girls as anxious as I was, all waiting to find our future home. One by one we got up and said where we had chosen to go, and I proudly announced that "Im going Phi Sig!" By the end of it all, I was surrounded by 10 other girls, and a week later we added our last new member bringing it up to twelve.

Twelve girls from totally different walks of life, every personality and interest you could imagine. In short, we are very different people at first glance. But the thing is, I have never felt so quickly accepted by anyone else in my life as I was by these amazing women. More than anything, we all respect and enjoy what makes us different, and I couldn't be happier with this quirky, beautiful group of girls.

The memories will surely become more numerous, I know this because I already have so many that I hold close to my heart. From meeting each other for the first time and passing around our phones to make sure we had everyone's numbers, to doing each others hair and makeup for our first mixer and laughing the whole time. Singing along to songs loudly, and badly, happens often but comments of, "you're so crazy" are more of a compliment than anything. These girls see, accept and hopefully someday love my brand of crazy.

What we're doing right now is something sacred, something special. Taking a group of girls that might not have known each other before, and forging a bond so strong there is only one word for it, sisters. Not sisters by blood, but sisters by a strong choice to love and respect each other with every moment that comes.

I know our journey is only beginning but I have so much joy and hope for what is still to come. So to my ladies of Spring '17, every moment is ours. I can't wait to see what our Phi Sig future has in store for all of us.
