One day you're on the bus to bid day, and three years and counting later, you look around the chapter room and discover there are more new members than old, and you are suddenly part of the minority.
Besides all of the obvious benefits, like getting called for food first as seniors, and calling yourself as "senior present" when they call roll, you know there is a ton of awesome things that come with finally reaching senior status.
Being in a sorority for four years can be challenging, emotional, and redundant at times... BUT (yes there is a but), it is also one of the most rewarding, valuable, and satisfying experiences of your life.
You've stuck around all this time, not because of the fines you get for not showing up to things or all the times you've gotten a strict talking to, but because of the memories made and friendships that have flourished over your college career.
For example, when your sisters become your roommates and you very quickly learn every single thing about each other, good or bad, and still accept each other unconditionally. You have sisters that cry with you, pray with you, and eat ice cream with you when life unexpectedly hits you. You have sisters that spontaneously and fearlessly book random trips to New York City with you.
You've have learned that it's an honor and a privilege to wear your letters, and you have worn them proudly. Your legacy could have been something as impactful as holding an officer position, or simply just being the best member your chapter has ever seen. By not quitting, always paying your dues, and obtaining good grades and standards, you have made your chapter better. Regardless, you know you have made an impact in some way, and while you're all in the feels about having to leave soon, you hope hundreds of girls after you will find the same fulfillment that you have in your chapter.
It's been one heck of time but all totally worth it in end when you finally reach alum status. Your sorority will always hold a special place in your heart and as your senior year comes and goes, you are making sure to cherish every moment.
