Dear Sisters,

This may be cliche, but joining a sorority changed my life. I constantly have stuff to do. I feel that I'm finally giving back to my community. I help raise thousands of dollars for different philanthropies. But what I value most are the people that have come into my life. Being a part of a sisterhood has been the biggest highlight of my college career and I wouldn't change it for the world. Whether you have become my best friend or not, I am forever thankful for every single one of you. You make my days so much easier to get through.

Sundays are my favorite. I love ending the weekend with all of you guys. Getting together as a chapter to discuss important issues, and events going on throughout the week is such an overlooked way, we can spend time together. I love arriving early so I can hear what everyone got into on the weekends and even possibly make plans for throughout the week.

Mondays through Fridays are terrible, but my days are brightened when one of you randomly sits with me in between class. A simple 'hi' as we pass one another in route to class. Seeing a familiar face in a crowd, knowing that everyone has their own Monday problems, and they still make it a point to smile and wave. Sometimes that simple hello makes my day 10 times better. After our daily run-ins with each other, we still manage to get together with someone for dinner, or go to a sisterhood or social where we can get to know someone in our chapter that maybe we don't know as well. I love having conversations with a sister who I might not be that close with, realizing something we both have in common, and completely bonding over it. It makes that saying that we typically use during recruitment, "You'll never be alone," true. You'll never know how much a single 'hello' or sitting down with a sister who is sitting alone and sparking up a conversation means to a specific person, and to me it means the world.

On the weekends, thank you for always being down to go out and have fun with me. No matter what my initial plans for the night are, I can always depend on one of you to make my night 10 times better. Thank you for letting me borrow your clothes or shoes when my own closet just wasn't cutting it. Thank you for always reassuring me that ordering pizza at two in the morning is a great idea. Thanks for waking up and recapping the night the next morning because I had to have missed something in all of the chaos that was the night before.

Thank you for getting me through the week. And finally, thank you for being the best sisters a girl could ask for.
