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.

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.

I don't think I say it enough...

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.
