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.

One of my biggest pet peeves is when someone does not try to help their self before asking others. How can someone else be expected to help you if you do not first do that yourself? I'm all about helping those that need it when the time comes, however whenever someone does not even attempt to help him or herself first then that becomes a huge problem. As we all have learned, people tend to take advantage of us in one way or another. I am sure we all read this short story when we were younger and it follows that same principle:
