To My Future Kappa Chi Alpha Little,

CONGRATULATIONS!!!

You have just joined one of the best organizations on Baylor campus (I'm a little biased) and I AM PUMPED!! You are about to meet so many amazing and Godly women these coming weeks and I am so excited to share with you what being a KXA means to me.

I remember being in your shoes just a short year ago, excited to have finally found my home in Baylor's community. I was a nervous freshman, unsure about myself and unsure if this was the organization for me. The first night of recruitment I braced the cold and made my way towards the SUB, and I found my family. The person I met in KXA ended up being my big, so who knows? Maybe I met you already!

The second night of recruitment was tough, as I gave my testimony to a group of strangers and I started crying, knowing that I finally found where I belong. Night after night, I was more excited to join KXA and make friendships that would last a lifetime.

So, now it's your turn. I hope recruitment week was amazing, and I am here to tell you it only gets better from here.

I want you to know that you are loved endlessly already. I already have a weekly lunch or coffee date planned for us, because I want us to have a loving and amazing relationship. We are going to pour into each other's lives. I hope you know that I am going to help you through thick and thin and I hope you will do the same for me. If you ever need anything, please know that you can come to me with anything.

Oh, my beautiful little, you are about to be SO spoiled for Basket Week! I am already thrilled to bake you ALL the baked goods, T-shirts, and anything and everything KXA related. And then you will finally be initiated into Kappa Chi Alpha and be part of our lovely sisterhood centered around Christ.

Here are a few reminders in case you forgot:

You are so loved.

You were created in the image of God.

You are cherished.

You are beautiful.

Keep being you.

You are a gift that keeps on giving.

I can't wait to meet you. I am counting down the days.

With so much love,

Your KXA Big

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

Seton Hall University

Mental Floss

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."

It’s here; that time of year when college students turn into preschoolers again. We cry for our mothers, eat everything in sight, and whine when we don’t get our way. It’s finals, the dreaded time of the semester when we all realize we should have been paying attention in class instead of literally doing anything else but that. Everyone has to take them, and yes, unfortunately, they are inevitable. But just because they are here and inevitable does not mean they’re peaches and cream and full of rainbows. Surviving them is a must, and the following five phases are a reality for all majors from business to art, nursing to history.

Where do we begin when we start talking about our roommates?

We often forget to thank them for the little things that they do to make college even a tiny bit easier and more fun. This list of 26 things are what you should thank your roommates for right this minute and every day that you live with them.
