An Open Letter To Delta Zeta

Delta Zeta, oh Delta Zeta,

From the moment I got my bid, there's never been a dull moment... so thank you.

Thank you for giving me a sisterhood unlike anything I ever thought I could have. For a home when mine wasn't there. Thank you for 60 pairs of shoulders to cry on and just as many hands to hold. For the strangers who turned into sisters, and sisters who turned into life-long best friends, thank you.

I'll go ahead and thank you for my bridesmaids too.

Thank you for giving me passion and purpose for something much bigger than myself, and learning what it means to come together for the common good of philanthropy.

I've learned to be a leader, and while I'd like to attribute that to my own growth - I have to give you credit because if it wasn't for you I probably still wouldn't have a backbone or the nerve to advocate for myself and what I believe in.

I'll admit, there have been times when I've questioned my "place" here - but when I come together with my sisters I know I'm not alone. When life feels like too much, you, Delta Zeta are the safe place.

As I've grown as a college student and sister of Delta Zeta I have drifted from the sorority's social scene and have developed a deeper appreciation for the bigger picture and the meaning of what I stand for when I stand in your letters.

As I move on even further and no longer have a house full of girls that know me better than I know myself I feel nothing but grateful for the sisterhood I'm leaving behind me. For the laughs and cries that I've shared.

I will carry a love that is ever steadfast for Delta Zeta and the sisters that have molded me, forever in my heart.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
