Dear girls,

On August 30, 2015, we all became sisters. We all got the opportunity to join an organization that we feel at home in. I do not mean to sound super sappy when I say this, but I feel more at home with this group of girls than I ever have with anyone else. Going through recruitment I had no idea who any of you were. Didn't know your name, your interests, your beliefs. But the day we got our bid cards and sorority squatted in the hot sun for the longest picture, I knew that this group of girls would change my life. They always say that you share a special bond with your pledge class. Words cannot describe how true that is. We turned to each other during new member meetings about how confused we were about the rules. We struggled together trying to figure out who to make our big. We laugh together about the things we do that would get us into so much trouble. And we always let each other know about any free food opportunity around town.

I may not have actually held a conversation with all of you, but I adore you all. I want to spend my college career in a sorority that builds me as a person with a group of girls I know I can always count on. I can always count on you guys for making me laugh with a silly tweet. I can count on you for blowing up the GroupMe with plans for the night or other sneak sneaky things. I can count on every single one of you for always giving a friendly smile on campus. I can and will always count on you guys for giving me the time of my life. When I am old and looking back on my college memories I'm going to think about the nights we took over the Dojo or Cabin. I'm going to remember all those study dates, food runs and long talks about all those fraternity guys. I know that when I think about these things you are still going to be in my life to laugh with me out them.

I cannot thank you guys enough for how much you have already impacted my life. For all the memories we already have and all the ones we still have to make. I am so happy to be apart of a group that is always going to have my back for the small and complicated things. I am thankful for all the friendships we have made with one another. I am thankful for these friends and for these sisters who are more than friends.

Gamma who?
