An Open Letter To My Chapter

It would not be the same without you

An Open Letter To My Chapter
Hannah Jager

From day one in the chapter, I knew that my life would be changed forever. Joining a sorority was never in my big plan for college but here I am two years later and loving my chapter more than ever before. Joining a sorority has made me even more of a women than I ever felt I could become in college.

Within my past three years at college, I have watched people walk out of my life as quickly as they entered it. However, when it came to sisters they never left, graduated and got big girl jobs yes but never walked out of my life. Over the years the love for my chapter has grown. With each new member that walks through the doors, there is the hope that with each bid class that my chapter will continue to expand many years after I graduate.

Everyone always asks if I am paying for my friends or if I go out partying every single night. The answer to both of those is no. If I paid for my friends then I did not pay enough and there is this little thing called classes that are more important than going out partying. The sisters I have gained during my years in the chapter have stuck with me through thick and thin.

Every break-up, bad exam score, and every single bad day that I have had during my three years of college they have been there to help me through it. When I was at my lowest of low my sisters were there to help me back up again. When I felt like nothing was going in my favor my sisters made me realize that I was attending an amazing school and that I was surrounded by a hundred sisters who loved me. While I never planned to join a sorority I can honestly say that I am beyond happy with my decision to join one and even more happy with my decision to stay. I do not think my college experience would be what it is today without my sisters.

Daily Fun Lists

One of the most dreaded places on campus is the library. Nothing awesome ever happens here. Usually, the only reason you're here is because you've procrastinated so long that the library is the only place you'll actually get stuff done. It gives you this feeling of sadness and impending doom. You have no idea how this is going to go or how long you'll be here, but you do know it is about to be the most excruciating experiences yet. But it has to get done, so you drag yourself to the lovely library.

With each new year comes new goals.

Deciding on a goal can be hard, unsure of what to change for this new year. A new goal for myself is to be happier and take care of myself more. I am a very driven person; so driven that I commit to a million and ten things.

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.
