Dear Little,
Congratulations on finally making it to this day! It seems like such a long time since you ran home to us on Bid Day. It has been such a crazy, beautiful journey to get to this highly anticipated day. You survived the crazy process of formal recruitment and found your home! You made it through your new member meetings and the awkwardness of ice breakers and mixers to meet more people. You memorized the Creed, memorized the names of your founders, passed the initiation test, and I could not be more proud of you.

I am so excited for you to start this new chapter of your life! Welcome to your home, officially. This is where you will have your best friends, your family, and so many special memories. These girls are the ones you will share meals with. They will laugh over funny stories with you (and maybe even at you), cry with you when your heart gets broken, and these girls will impact you whether you realize it or not.
This sorority does not only exist within the walls of our house or even this campus but all over the nation. Everyone initiated into our sorority is your sister too, which is such a beautiful thought. Whenever you meet someone who shares the same letters as you, whether it be at the Walmart in your hometown or even traveling across the country, you share the same bond as this person. You have sisters across this chapter, this state and this country that love you simply for being you.
Here is a piece of advice, little one - your years in this sorority are what you make it. What you put into this sorority is what you will get out of it. So put your best foot forward and try to have a positive attitude during your sorority years. Don't be afraid to introduce yourself to the girl sitting by herself at dinner. Compliment the girl who has on an outfit that you think is cute - I promise it will make her day. Go to socials and sisterhood events and try to enjoy hanging out and being with your sisters.
We are so excited to have you. You are a great and beautiful asset to our sisterhood. I am so excited to see what God does through you for our sorority. Welcome to our heart, welcome to our philanthropy, welcome to our sisterhood, welcome to the next chapter of your life, but most importantly welcome home, little one.
With Much Love,
Your Big
