A Letter to the Girl Who Joined My Chapter
Christina Conti

As a junior, I look back onto my bid day two years ago. Two years ago I joined to best chapter and became a part of Zeta Tau Alpha. I remember opening my bid and crying a little bit over the excitement of what the next four years had in store for me. I knew being a part of something that was bigger than me was going to help me grow. I knew it was going to make me into someone I had always believed I could become. I have made so many memories and have found my best friends. I have found the girls I want next to me on my wedding day and the girls that are there for me when something in my life goes wrong. To the girls who just joined my chapter, welcome the the greatest four years of your life.

To the girl who just joined my chapter, I hope you find what I have found. I have found the perfect family, the perfect friends, and the perfect support system. I found a big who is there for me to always encourage me to be the best person I can be. I hope you find the mentor I have found in my big sister as well as a best friend. I hope you find a family that grows and loves you through all your weirdness. I hope you find the girls you can go on road trips with and the girls you can call at 2:00 AM because some boy broke your heart. I hope you find the girls who will text you when they know you've been going through a hard time and you find the girls who will lift you up when school seems to be getting the best of you.

To the girl who joined my chapter, take every opportunity to be involved that you can. Take the positions that you doubt you would be good at or you know nothing about. Take the leap of faith and believe in yourself. You will be able to accomplish more with these women by your side than you were ever able to accomplish alone. You will learn that your chapter can be some of the biggest supporters in your life. At times they will believe in your abilities more than you will.

To the girl who joined my chapter, this is now your chapter too. Make friends, get involved, and love every minute of being in this chapter. Enjoy the people, the memories, the pictures, the events, the opportunities, and most of all never forget what happens to you these next four years. Never forget the late night study sessions with the girls who will become your best friends. Never forget these years and the years to come even after you graduate. Your chapter and friends wills stay with you long after you graduate. Welcome to your chapter for the next four years. They will be some of the best of your life.

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.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
