Dear new house mom,

I am sure that you are completely overwhelmed right now. You are literally swimming in new names to learn and getting accustomed to a new city and home. I would be concerned if you didn't have the slightest feelings of overwhelmingness. And even though you may feel this way, we want you to know that it's OK. We are so excited to get to know you! When you feel a little less overwhelmed and freaked out by the 120 girls' names you are trying to remember, we want you to know that we are here to get to know you.

We are here for you just as much as you are here for us. We know you have done this whole house mom thing before but it really is different for each sorority. We want to be there for you as much as we can. And while we are so incredibly appreciative of all the positive words and happy spirits you have for us while we are chanting and singing and jumping for five hours a day, we also want to reciprocate that. We want to reciprocate the love you already give to us, 120 people you barely know. We want to cheer you on just as loud and as hard as you are cheering us on!

New house mom, we are excited for you to be here. We are thrilled that you have started a new journey with us! How did we get so lucky! Already, we can tell how open and fabulous you are.

So, what we really want to say is thank you. Thank you for spending hours learning our names from a tiny composite picture you were given. Thank you for already loving us wholeheartedly. Thank you for giving this your all. And thank you in advance for everything that you will do. There are bound to be times where we feel like you saved our lives and for this we thank you. We thank you for all the small gestures and the kind words and the feelings of welcomeness. We thank you for all of this and more.

Thank you, new house mom! We cannot wait to get to know you better and to built the house mom-sorority girl relationship with you!! We love you already!

Xoxo,

Your new "house"
