We still remain the largest pledge class our chapter has ever had. Although now going into our fourth year together we're down to less than half, my pledge sisters will always be the strongest bond I have in my chapter. Every pledge class thinks they're the best pledge class, and I truly believe that about my own.
Some have graduated, some decided a sorority wasn't for them, some transferred, etc. But to this day, they are the ones who have always been there, and will always be there whether they're active in the chapter or non-active.
When I first joined, I didn't think that I was going to ever be close with my pledge sisters because I was one of the oldest in our pledge class. But now, I don't know what I would do without them. They were there whenever we would get called "the worst pledge class ever" during our first year in the chapter. They were there when I needed advice about anything. They were the ones I was being territorial with when taking littles. They were there when something terrible happened in my hometown and I needed them to make me feel better. They're the ones who put up with my rants in our GroupMe. Most importantly, they're the ones who I know are going to be there for me forever.
It took me about a year to fully feel connected with them, but I'm so grateful that it eventually happened. Without them, I truly don't know how I would have gotten through these three years. They were my first friends at this school, seeing as how I knew nobody when coming here. There were times when I wanted to quit this sorority because I couldn't take it anymore, but it was the love from my pledge sisters that made me realize this bond is forever. We may fight sometimes, or we may get annoyed with each other sometimes, but in the end pledge sisters are truly always going to be there because they were there from the start.
So thank you, Fall '13. Thank you for always being there for me. Thank you for never giving up on me. Thank you for always putting up with me. Thank you for laughing at me when I'm being dumb. Thanks for wiping my tears away when I'm crying. Thank you for loving The Fox just as much as I do (well, almost just as much.) Thank you for being the best group of girls I know. Just thank you for everything. I'm truly going to miss all of you once I'm officially in the big-girl world. Don't ever forget about me.
