An Open Letter To My Sorority Sisters
Laura Stringer

Dear sisters,

It's almost that time of the year again. We will come back to campus and get ready to welcome our new sisters home. We will watch them run to the house, and greet them with open arms. There's going to be a lot of work put into several weeks, but in the end, it'll all be worth it.

It will all be worth it because, in the end, we will have new sisters, who will be just as passionate about our organization as we are.

It will all be worth it because I will be able to give another girl the same wonderful first year that you gave me.

I was never what I imagined to be a sorority girl, but this group of women has shown me that I am exactly what the chapter needed, and the chapter was exactly what I needed. I can't even begin to imagine what my first year would have been like without you in it.

You have made me a better person in so many ways. You have made me more confident and gave me the courage to tell my story. You made me a better student, by inviting me to so many study sessions.

We've had fun times too. Whether it was sitting in the TV room watching another romantic comedy or sitting on our laptops watching Youtube videos of terrible covers from Barbie movies.

I can't even begin to find the words to describe how thankful I am that you are in my life. Thank you for accepting me as a sister and making my first year on campus unforgettable.

People are always telling me that we will drift apart after our four years are up, but I know that's not true. We are sisters now, then, and forever.

From,

Your 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.

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.
