An Open Letter To My Sorority Sisters
Megan Jones

Dear sisters,

"I wear my letters on my front because my sisters have my back". I couldn’t have found a truer statement.

I just need to thank you guys. I need to thank you guys for every single thing you’ve done for me, big or small. Thank you for always having my back and pushing me to do better. I wouldn’t be where I am today without all of you by my side. Thank you for believing in me and believing that I have the potential to be a leader. Thank you for helping me through the bad times and laughing with me through the good times. Thank you for helping me find the person that I want and was meant to be. Thank you for letting me become a member of such a fantastic group of women.

It’s such a wonderful feeling when I walk across campus or in the student union, 90% of the time one of my sisters will be there and call me over. It’s awesome to know that I have so many sisters all with different majors who can help me with my classes when I’m struggling. My sisters remind me that there are truly are good people in the world. They remind me how important honesty, kindness, compassion and love is. They show me that goodness does exist and no matter what there are and always will be people who love each other through thick and thin.

Being part of a sisterhood is sacred; it’s not something to take for granted. It’s something you should cherish and hold dear to your heart because not everyone is lucky enough to have so many special people in their life like sorority sisters do. It’s counting on others and others counting on you. It is real. It is eternal. I know that I am truly blessed to have my sisters standing by my side because then no one stands a chance against us.

So again, thank you to all my girls who make my life a little bit better every single day. You guys mean EVERYTHING to me and I love each and every one of you! Always remember that you are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think. We may not have it all together, but together we have it all.

“People ask why I am in a sorority and I try to explain all the things a sorority is that they cannot see. A sorority is more than letters on a sweatshirt, I say. More than traditional songs, a gold pin, rituals, an obligation or a way of life. A sorority is learning about people, a sorority is giving without expecting a return. A sorority is earning respect from others, as well as for yourself. A sorority will not solve all your problems, but I have made good friends and found confidence there to help me take life one step at a time” –Unknown

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.
