Though time may pass, our sisterhood will last.

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

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
