20 Things To Thank Your Greek Family For

During my freshman year of college, I decided to pledge for a sorority. I pledged for Omicron Xi Omega in Spring '15 and it was one of the greatest decisions that I have ever made. I become apart of a sisterhood that has created the women that I am today and has allowed me to break outside of my "shell" that I had been hiding in all through out high school. Joining my sorority has also given me the opportunity to have a bunch of amazing brothers in Tau Kappa Epsilon. Being apart of this incredible greek family has given me friendships that will last a lifetime, memories that I will never forget, and has expanded my views on everything in life.

The friends that I get to call my sisters and brothers are a bunch of wonderful human beings that I never really get the chance to say thank you to. With that being said, here are 20 things I would like to thank my greek family for and I hope that people outside my greek family could relate to.


1. Thank you for being that "annoying rush girl or guy" when I was a prospect.


2. Thank you for pushing me into the right path that led me to all of you.

3.Thank you for showing me what true loyalty, respect, and happiness really is.

4. Thank you for all those crazy nights filled with memories that we'll never forget and won't want to remember in the morning.

5. Thank you for guiding me in the direction that has allowed me to find myself and accomplish the things I never thought I could do.

6. Thank you for always being there for me at my highest highs and my lowest lows.

7. Thank you for all the hungover mornings filled with complaining and snacking.

8. Thank you for encouraging me to do well in school instead of allowing me to flunk out.

9. Thank you for helping me create bonds with other organizations that will last a lifetime.

10. Thank you for never judging me and always having my back.

11. Thank you for listening to me vent for hours upon end and helping me crack a smile.

12. Thank you for always being down to hang out and go on adventures when there's nothing to do.

13. Thank you for being my number 1 fan on the sidelines.

14. Thank you for fixing my hair on a crazy hair day and letting your closet be mine as well.

15. Thank you for stopping me from making the stupidest mistakes.

16. Thank you for all of the last minute rides you've given me that's saved my ass.

17. Thank you for motivating me to get out of bed instead of letting me sleep forever.

18. Thank you for being as weird as I am.

19. Thank you for always giving me something to look forward to when going back to school from the summer or a break.

20. Lastly, thank you for giving me the absolute greatest friends, a home away from home, and a family that will support me forever.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever.

Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
