Dear Greek Life,

Thank you. Thank you for allowing me to partake in opportunities to better myself, the community and other organizations; opportunities I never imagined having. Thank you for making me a leader, for pushing me to be the best I can be in all things, for encouraging me to be a part of something bigger than myself. Thank you for giving me not only an amazing group of sisters, but for providing me with a Greek family that supports me and my chapter in our philanthropy endeavors and stands with us in our times of need. Thank you for providing me with memories I'll never forget with people I'll never want to leave.

Greek life, I know there are a lot of people scrutinizing you in all that you are, but for me, and many others that have been brought into your fold, we know the truth. Yes, there are times and people who make mistakes and do wrong, but who doesn't? I know you get judged the hardest. But know I know how much good you bring. You help raise millions of dollars for several foundations nation wide, you create leaders, you provide fun and laughter, you give people life long friendships and you create a family for people away from home. Greek life there are so many things I could thank you for. I could go all day, so let me just end on this: Greek life, I do not know where I would be, or who I would be, without you, so thank you—thank you so much.
