Open Letter To My Sorority

I never considered myself to be a sorority girl but I am so thankful for you.

Open Letter To My Sorority
Claire Blanchard

To My Sorority,

Honestly, I never considered myself to be a sorority girl. Even deciding to rush this fall was a last minute decision and honestly, it was one of the best decisions I have ever made by far.

The entire rush week process was a whirlwind of emotions, laughter, and excitement. A lot of it is a blur but one thing that I remember extremely clearly is I fell in love with my sorority the first night. And from that moment on I knew, this is where I belong. People will tell you once you find your sorority you will know because it feels like home. Those words rang true from the moment I first walked into the room and it continues to feel more and more like home with every day in between.

I am so thankful for the amazing friends I have been introduced too. Some from the very first day and others I continue to make with every day that passes in the sorority. I am so thankful for my absolutely amazing big. You are the big sister I never had, you are always there when I need to talk or laugh. You are there when I need to vent or just want some company. I am so thankful for the endless opportunities to help give back to the community. I am thankful for every meeting, social, formal, and sisterhood events they always seem to make my week a little bit brighter.

So to my sorority, thank you. Thank you for introducing me to new friends who I honestly can't imagine going through my first semester of college without. Thank you for giving my such a perfect big who gets me and gives the best advice. Thank you for making my first semester of college as perfect as it could be. Thank you for helping my find my home, my love for my sorority grows with every day.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
