An Open Letter To The Girl That Gets A Bid To My Sorority
Her Campus

To the girl that gets a bid to my sorority,

I can't wait for you to open your bid. I can already see your face filled with excitement, and you jumping with joy when you see our chapter name and crest on your bid card. I'm so grateful to know that you came (and stayed) through Sorority Recruitment. I was just as nervous and petrified as you when the girls came out chanting and screaming their cheers at the door. I also know how difficult and stressful the process is considering I was in your place just one short year ago. I'm sorry if you didn't get the house of your choice, but I'm almost sure you're going to absolutely love it here. I can't wait to see you blossom in this sorority as I did, and meet your best friends for life. I'm so overjoyed that you're going to get to experience all of the wonderful things that our sorority has given me.

I'm so excited for you to learn our chapters ways and our secretive meanings. To come to the house during class breaks to sleep, do your homework and eat. Even to go through the long awaited process of becoming an official sister (believe me, it's actually fun!) When you get initiated, it is seriously a life changing moment, knowing you are officially a part of such an astounding sisterhood. I can't wait to see you walking around campus showing off our letters and your cute, new greek apparel. Big and little reveal will be such a thrilling time for you because you'll get showered with love and gifts by your new big sister. I'm telling you, your big is just as excited as you, as she's waited over a year to get to call a girl like you her little sister. She's probably been crafting gifts for you for months on end. If you ever have any questions about boys, friends, college life or even schoolwork, your sisters are there to help you through it all. If you're having a rough day, the house is always a great place to help you feel better. The house can help you socialize and meet new sisters.

I never thought in such a brief amount of time that I would be in the place I'm in now, recruiting all of you to be apart of this life-changing the experience. Before you know it, this will be you recruiting all of these amazing, beautiful girls to be a part of our sisterhood. Bid day is just a short time away, and I can't wait for you to experience the first of many spectacular events with this sorority that you will be experiencing over the next four years at college. I know you have something amazing to offer to our chapter and I can't wait to see what it is.

With love,

Your new sister

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
