So, my sorority had Friendsgiving this week and I had a conversation with one of my fellow new members about how time has flown by since our new member retreat and we all decided to join Phi Lamb. Once I really thought about it, I couldn't believe how fast this semester has gone by or how close our new member class has grown. We all went from having random ways of remembering each other's names to being close friends that see each other all the time. (I mean seriously, I was "Beat Bama" to the girl I had this conversation with because I wore a shirt with big, bold letters that said "Beat Bama" during our new member retreat. And she was "Virginia from Virginia.")

By the time I decided I wanted to join Phi Lamb my freshman year, recruitment had already passed. At the time, I was extremely upset about this because I really felt like I needed to find my place on campus through Phi Lamb. But now, I know that God's plan was much greater than mine. By not being able to join Phi Lamb my freshman year, I was able to join it in the fall of my sophomore year with the best group of girls I could have ever asked for, including Virginia from Virginia but of course many, many, many others as well, both in my new member class and Phi Lamb members in general.

Being a new member of Phi Lamb this semester has been such a blessing, and I am so grateful for the sisterhood I've found with so many sisters in Christ. From loving every minute of Plan Z for new member retreat, to service projects, to chapter, to new member meetings, to Friendsgiving, to prayer groups, to intramural volleyball, to gaining the best big and twin, to simply meeting for lunch on campus, I would not replace a single moment I've spent with my Phi Lamb sisters.

Again, I can't believe how fast this first semester has flown by, but I've so enjoyed each and every moment of it. Thank you, Phi Lamb, for giving me my sense of belonging on the Ole Miss campus. To my fellow new members, see you soon for initiation(:
