What my new member period taught me

From recruitment to initiation

What my new member period taught me

Being a new member in a sorority is an experience I will never forget. Today, I was finally initiated into Kappa Delta. I have worked hard the past six weeks to get to this day. However, through it all, I had an absolute blast.

Being a new member of Kappa Delta taught me what sororities (at least on a small campus) are really like. Prior to joining a sorority, I had the belief that sorority girls were all the same, stuck up, pretty faces that you would see on TV or in a movie. False. The sorority girls at my college are wonderful, passionate, inspiring young women, who are selfless and loving to everyone; especially their sisters.

On the first day of recruitment week, we went to all three sorority houses on campus. The last house I was assigned to go to was Kappa Delta. As soon as I stepped through that threshold, I knew I was meant to be a KD. They welcomed me into their house with open arms, giving me so much information about their philanthropies, which touched my heart greatly. During each night of recruitment, I was almost brought to tears when I was talking to a Kappa Delta sister.

On bid day, I ran home to Kappa Delta, with my heart beating fast and my smile bigger than ever. I remember spending the entire day with my new sisters. Then, it hit me all at once.

I was born to be a sorority girl, and I didn't even know it.

During my new member period at Kappa Delta, the sisters taught me how to act classy and represent myself in a positive light, but also what it meant to represent a big organization that had been around for years. They taught me how to be loving and accepting of everyone, no matter what. They made me open up to every single girl in Kappa Delta, and they changed my life in just a few short weeks. They also taught me to go out and have a good time, but never forget to keep it classy.

Now that I am officially and initiated member of Kappa Delta sorority, I am super excited to see where Kappa Delta leads me. I have learned from the sisters that I am destined to do great things for my sorority. I loved getting to learn everything about KD, and I can't wait to see what all KD has to offer. If anyone is wondering if they should join a sorority or not, I highly recommend that you do it. It will change your life.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
