Joining Omega Phi Alpha Was The Best Decision I Could Ever Make
Melinda Reick

Lately, my sorority sisters have been my rock. From my mental health to breakups, these girls are the best friends a girl could ask for and I am EXTREMELY blessed for finding my home at Virginia Tech with this lovely group of women. Here's a thank you letter to my favorite girls in the entire universe:

Darien, I want to thank you for teaching me how to be a strong female leader. You've taught me to be patient, kind, and best of all how to love myself. Your calm demeanor and your charming personality radiates to everyone around you. Thanks for being so fun to shop for and the sweetest president as well as for always being there for me when I'm down.

Aileen, thanks for always being such a ray of sunshine and listening to all of my boy gossip. You inspire me to look great every day just as much as your makeup and outfits are always on fleek. Thanks for being on the sisterhood committee with all of your fun ideas and for always being there to help me set up.

Amala, thanks for always hyping me up and making sure I make it to class. You'll always be my favorite panda worker <3

Amber, thanks for always showing me how to book an awesome event and being someone I can look up to.

Logan, you are the epitome of class and your T-shirt designs are always fire. Thank you for always getting in proofs even if I give you little time to do them and thank you for always being so patient with me.

Saige, your advice always is the best and I'm glad to have someone as warm as you leading the standards board.

Meredith, thanks for always dealing with me ALWAYS needing to have a DJ and being annoyed with the budget. You handle our sorority's finances so well and I wish you all the hedgehogs and hummus in the world.

Angela, from helping me tow my car to making me realize I deserve better than being treated poorly, I'm so happy to call you one of my best friends!

Erin, thanks for always being the absolute sweetest and listening to all of my problems and being my favorite lunch buddy!

Jasmine, thank you for always going with me to VT football games, being my shoulder to cry on and picking me up even at midnight after a booty call.

Taylor, thank you for being my absolute best friend, loving country music as much as I do and being someone I can always call on. I hope you know how much I appreciate you.

Rachael, thank you for being my mom and being that phone call I make when everything is going wrong. You inspire me and make me realize that things will get better and can get better. You show me hope when I can't find any.

Autumn, thanks for being the best little sister a girl could ask for, I'm blessed that I found someone that loves football as much as I do.

Melinda, thanks for always being my favorite carpool buddy and the sweetest <3

To all of my sisters: you guys are everything to me and I wish I could thank you all individually.

XOXO,

Brookie
