From bid day to our very last meeting together as sisters, the seniors in my sorority have helped my pledge class through a lot. Here's many thanks to the lovely ladies as they near graduation and us freshmen are just getting settled in for good.

1. Thanks for the jokes.

Maybe it's the old, the wise, that always make the best jokes. We could always count on the seniors for funny stories of their college tragedies and humors, and we didn't have a quiet night with them in the house.

2. Thanks for the encouragement.

The upperclassmen were the ones to tell us what classes to study most for, told us to try new things, and made sure we stayed involved. As a senior in the future, I want to be the same role model.

3. Thanks for the tears.

Ya'll went through a lot of lasts this year, which brought up some good memories but also emotional times. I think the only time I have cried in meeting was during the senior's last.

4. Thanks for the leadership.

These sisters came to lots of events and meetings to brighten up the room with their laughter and smiles, and it'll be weird next year not seeing them on campus all over.

5. Thanks for the mems.

Bless the seniors for making bid day a blast, formals way too fun, and philanthropies a bit more enthusiastic. They took us under their wings, and raised us to be wonderful girls of the chapter.

When I'm a senior, I hope I'm half the lady that these wonderful seniors of my house are. As alumni status gets closer every day, I truly am so thankful for my senior sisters.

From, a freshman.
