An Open Letter To My Sorority Sisters

From the outside looking in, you can't understand it. From the inside looking out, you can't explain it.

To my sisters,

You know when certain people come into your life and you don't understand how or why, but you're so happy they did? That's how I feel about all 200+ of you. As cliché as it sounds, I'm truly a part of the best sisterhood in the world. Zeta Tau Alpha has given me the best friends, sisters, and future-bridesmaids (okay, maybe a little too cliché now) I could have ever asked for. As dramatic as it sounds, I couldn't imagine my life without you all. I'm so thankful for all the endless love I've received from all of you and can't imagine my college experience without you. Unsurprisingly, this has started to sound like a love letter, but let's be real, it basically is.

So, thank you.

Thank you for 2 am Taco Bell and listening to me whine about the way my butt looks in my pants. (Funny how these two correlate.)

Thank you for stealing, sharing, and saving study rooms for me. Thank you for all your study tips and sharing your old calculus notes with me. You guys help me put the A in ZTA... Okay, too corny. Moving on.

Thanks for not bringing up that one time at New Member Retreat when I said I wanted to marry Drake so Rihanna could be my mom… You guys know what I meant.

Thanks for listening to me complain. I probably say I want to drop out of school at least seventy times a day, and it's always met with “we both should. Let's do it.” But also thank you for not letting me actually do it. School is the real reason we're here, right?

Thank you for giving me my best friends in the world. Thank you for giving me my awesome big, my perfect family, and my future bridesmaids (again, literally so cliche, but I don't even care). I've found my people for life and that's what's most important here.

Thank you for all the friendships, food, t shirts, awkward stories, funny stories, late night conversations, memories, and fun.

Thank you for sisterhood. When I picture the next four (but probably five) years of my life, all I see are my sisters beside me.

ZLAM,

Ciera Lindsey

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
