Sisterhood: an association, society, or community of women linked by a common interest, religion, or trade. As I write this, our country is in a midst of change. A change that not everyone was expecting. I think this moment of time, my last semester has shown me how grateful I should be.

Last semester I received a bid from an amazing organization, filled with incredible role models and strong people. I was then surrounded by my incredible pledge class. I had no idea what I was getting into, what this would be and how I would feel about everything next year, but now I see.

I have the best pledge class in the entire world. For one of the first times in my life, I have friends that are girls, friends that love everything about me, and bring out sides of me that I never knew existed. It's sisterhood that gets me through the tough days and the great days. They are there to celebrate with me and help me when I am drowning in work. They brighten my day, from visiting me at work, to eating at the dining hall, to just bumping into them on campus.

No matter what comes my way, I know that my sisters will be by my side. From the laughs to the tears there is a bond in my PC that I can't express into words. I have gone from having one blood sister to having many, many more.

I sometimes sit and wonder what college would be like without them. I would be happy, but not as happy. I would be laughing, but not as much. I would be confident, but not as confident. Sorority has a different connotation for every person you meet, but my sorority, my pledge class has made me, me. They have made me into a better person and continue to.

So as life is crazy, remember your friends, your sisters. They are always here no matter what and no matter how far.

To Eta Lambda Chi Omega: Thank you! You know how much you all mean to me. Spring 16: you are my people and I love you more than I can describe!
