Home Away From Home

Recently, I have gone through Recruitment. I rushed to find my "home away from home." Sigma Kappa is my forever home. I am so happy and thrilled that I will have those girls by my side throughout the rest of my collegiate career.

I am a sophomore. I did not rush during my freshman year because I wanted to take the time to focus on my academics. I wanted to basically plant my feet first and I have been successful with that, so I thought it would be the right time to join one of the three great Sororities on my campus. When going through Recruitment, I had a tough time deciding on the second night. And on the third night? I knew exactly where I belonged: Sigma Kappa.

I found my forever home at Sigma Kappa. I cannot think of anywhere I would rather be. I honestly feel at home when I am with my sisters. I feel like I belong somewhere. I know that those girls will be here for me when I need them. For these reasons, I knew I needed to be apart of the Sigma Kappa family.

Not only do I have my sisters, but I have had my best friend by my side the whole time. I have friends in each of the sororities, so I went into the houses clear and open minded. I wanted to find the place that I belonged. My heart sister is my best friend, Haley. She has been here for me since the beginning of freshman year and I do not know where I would be without this girl. She has literally been my rock through everything. When I ran home to Sigma Kappa, she was the one I ran too and of course, we hugged and we both started to cry.

This was the moment I knew for sure that I made the right decision. I have the best Heart Sister anyone could ask for (and best friend). I have amazing sisters. I have a support system. I have a place to call home. I have a place where I can be myself and no one will judge me. I appreciate being accepted into Sigma Kappa.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
