A Letter To The New Sisters I'll Gain This Recruitment
McKenzie Roberts

You don't know me, not yet. You don't know my story, or why I joined this specific sisterhood but you will and I'll know you too.

When we first meet, we will just be two smiling people. Me, trying to find my new sister, and you, trying to find your new sisterhood. I'll welcome you into my home hoping that it becomes yours as well, and I'll introduce you to my sisters that you will love as much as I do.

See, we might not know it now, but you will end up becoming my sister. You will become apart of my forever family and of a group of such stunning women. They will love you so much that you'll never feel lonely because you have sisters who will make sure of it. When you're looking for your classes or nervous for your first day, we will be there to talk you through it, make sure you're confident and to make sure you know you won't sit alone while having lunch.

By joining this sisterhood, just know that you have signed up for lifetime of shenanigans. From late night Sonic runs to listening to me talking all night (because you'll figure out I'm annoying like that). You'll hug me when I cry on the anniversary of my dad's death and laugh with me when I want to laugh.

You'll be the most important person to us and we to you. When your struggling in calc, we've got you. When your having a bad day, we will be there too. When you get your first college boyfriend, we will be there to make sure he's good enough for you and that he minds his manners, and if he happens to break your heart, we will be there to put you back together again.

The point is, you will always have us. Rain or shine, good or bad day, we will stand beside you. We will protect you, support you, love you, be your voice of reason and be your family. I can't honestly explain how excited we are to have you, to share our purpose with you, our charity and our lives. You'll gain a six pack from laughing so much, confidence from us telling you how much you are worth and your value to this word and others. We will always accept who you are and never try to change you.

As you go through recruitment, I hope you remember these words. Know that at the end of the long days and sore feet that you will have a league of best friends, bridesmaids, motivators, sisters and a family of 100 plus girls who have got your back forever.

I look forward to meeting you, getting to know you and crying and laughing with you through all the times. I look forward to summer trips or watching OITNB (when the new season comes out of course). It will be the best memories of our lives that will never ever end, a bond so strong it'll never break and a sisterhood so great, you'll always feel loved.

See you soon.

Loyally,

Your Sister

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
