Let me start off by saying that I absolutely love my sorority and all of the people in it. I have met some of the most amazing people and wouldn't change the memories I have made within my chapter for anything in the world.
During my Freshman year of college, I was paired with 3 completely random roommates. We were all scared, timid, and unaware of all that college had in store for us.
One thing we did know, however, was that we all wanted to go through the recruitment process and finally be able to place those classic greek letters in our Instagram bios.
Sadly, we all ended up going our separate ways by joining 4 very different sororities.
While trying to “find our place” in college we made sure to all remain close despite the different people we were meeting, different events we were attending, and the different letters we were wearing.
We’d stay up until 2 a.m talking, laughing, eating, singing, and doing absolutely whatever else was on our minds.
In the midst of all this craziness, we were unaware of the close bond that was forming between each and every one of us.
We were able to cry, scream, and hurt. We felt sick, heartbroken, and lost, yet we never failed to find comfort walking into our yellow-walled, bare dorm room.
We were slowly becoming each others safety nets.
Oblivious to what was happening, we continued to be there for each other. We saw each other at our absolute worst (literally), held each others hair back when we had a little too much fun, stayed up all night crying to each other over our boy drama, and drove well over a few miles as support systems when one of us lost a loved one.
Fast forward almost 2 years and these randomly paired roommates of mine have become so much more than just roommates.
They are my ride or dies. The ones I want standing up with me on my wedding day (lol if that ever happens) and the ones I truly couldn't imagine living this crazy life without.
They are actually my sisters.
We fight, steal each other's clothes, scream at each other, and call each other names but despite our mood swings and sleep deprived attitudes we would do absolutely anything for one another.
We have been through it all and I wouldn't want to stay up all night dancing to the cotton eye joe, talking about every issue in the world, or devouring some Tin Lizzy's queso with any other girls.
So maybe our extra large comfort colors t-shirts all read something different, however, these 4 are currently and will forever be the girls I will call my sisters.
