An Open Letter To A Future Alpha Gam
Tailor Evans

To A Future Alpha Gam Girl:

I hope Alpha Gam is everything you want it to be and more.

I want you to feel that sense of belonging each time you walk into a room with the essence of red, buff, and green during recruitment. I want you to feel that instant gratitude of being surrounded by women that just simply “get” you.

I wish that when you get handed your bid card, though you may repeat over and over in your head that no matter what the card says “everything happens for a reason,” truly wishing nothing but to see Alpha Gamma Delta written across it. Along with that, the excitement that fills you until you think you could pop at any instant when you realize that wish came true.

I yearn for you to experience that blurry rush of running into the arms of your newfound sisters. Sisters who are jumping up and down, chanting their best cheers. Sisters who are holding up handmade squirrel posters with your name in big, glittery letters across it. Sisters who you don’t even know (but already know you) yet already feel close to.

I hope you find an excuse to wear pearls to any function you can. I hope you feel the need to buy every squirrel themed sign, figurine, or home décor. I hope you put AGD on all of your possession, including all forms of social media, with pride and joy. I hope you throw what you know in every new city you travel to.

I want you to learn, over time, how each and every line of the purpose applies to you, which you will realize through experiences that are incredibly unique to you. And only you.

Wisdom.

Health.

Friendship.

Service.

Talent.

Kindness.

Womanhood.

All of these words may not mean something to you yet, but they already are instilled in you. That’s part of what makes you an Alpha Gam girl.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.
