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.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
