Meet the Tri Delta President

Name: Betsy Kate Nicholas
Hometown: Jackson, Mississippi 
Sorority: Tri Delta 

1. What is the best part about being the president of Tri Delt?
The best part of being president is just getting to see the growth of something you love and believe in. Also, getting to work with all the amazing people in Tri Delt is a benefit. 

2. What is the hardest part?
Those dang emails. Haha. But in reality, the hardest part is probably just having to look at the chapter as it is now and where you want it to be in 3, 5 or 10 years. Knowing that, what you do will inevitably affect everything in the future.  

3. With your job ending soon, what is your advice to the new president? 
My advice to the new president would be to not take yourself too seriously. Look at the job for what it is, and don't make it your life. Listen to people and love them where they are. In the beginning, I was so sensitive to everything because I so desperately didn't want to mess up. Then, I just decided it was okay not to be perfect, and I noticed that people liked me better when I was more confident in myself. Then I was more capable to meet people where they are and keep the vision going. 

4. What will you miss most about being president?
I'll miss it all so much! But I think I will miss people coming to me for whatever reason. I just love being able to talk to everyone about everything. Maybe that means I'm nosy, but I just like to help.  

5. What is one thing people wouldn't know about what being president entails?
I think people don't know how much the presidents actually care and think about the betterment of the chapter. Being able to work with all the presidents has shown me how much they are all ready to just give their lives for everyone in their chapter. Yeah they all work a ton, but they have so much heart. And that's the most important thing I think. Putting others above yourself and loving everyone. 

6. If you wrote a memoir, what would the title be?
The Delta Pack. (Yeah).  

7. If you could pick a song to describe your time as president, what would it be?
"Flawless" by Beyonce (lol, jk). Or "Story of My Life" by One Direction ("Written in these walls are the stories that I can't explain...")

8. Who is your Vice President? How do you two get along?
Chandler Clarkson is my VP! I couldn't do any part of my job without my friends and my team, but Chan is different. She was one of my assistant new member educators so we worked together two years in a row. We are a team for the books. We get along so well and sometimes she just has to tell me something won't work. She truly is the best and I don't know what I would do without her. I'll miss any excuse to ask her advice.  

9. Any last remarks about your time as president, funny stories, etc? 
You can wait to read my book for most of my stories, but I would just like to say being Prez was awesome. However, I can't wait to catch up on my sleep. Might take an entire year.  

10. One final sentence left to say to the chapter, what would it be? 
May the odds forever be in your favor, Tri Delta.

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.

19 Lessons I'll Never Forget from Growing Up In a Small Town

There have been many lessons learned.

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.
