To the girl that gets a bid to my sorority,

I can't wait for you to open your bid. I can already see your face filled with excitement, and you jumping with joy when you see our chapter name and crest on your bid card. I'm so grateful to know that you came (and stayed) through Sorority Recruitment. I was just as nervous and petrified as you when the girls came out chanting and screaming their cheers at the door. I also know how difficult and stressful the process is considering I was in your place just one short year ago. I'm sorry if you didn't get the house of your choice, but I'm almost sure you're going to absolutely love it here. I can't wait to see you blossom in this sorority as I did, and meet your best friends for life. I'm so overjoyed that you're going to get to experience all of the wonderful things that our sorority has given me.

I'm so excited for you to learn our chapters ways and our secretive meanings. To come to the house during class breaks to sleep, do your homework and eat. Even to go through the long awaited process of becoming an official sister (believe me, it's actually fun!) When you get initiated, it is seriously a life changing moment, knowing you are officially a part of such an astounding sisterhood. I can't wait to see you walking around campus showing off our letters and your cute, new greek apparel. Big and little reveal will be such a thrilling time for you because you'll get showered with love and gifts by your new big sister. I'm telling you, your big is just as excited as you, as she's waited over a year to get to call a girl like you her little sister. She's probably been crafting gifts for you for months on end. If you ever have any questions about boys, friends, college life or even schoolwork, your sisters are there to help you through it all. If you're having a rough day, the house is always a great place to help you feel better. The house can help you socialize and meet new sisters.

I never thought in such a brief amount of time that I would be in the place I'm in now, recruiting all of you to be apart of this life-changing the experience. Before you know it, this will be you recruiting all of these amazing, beautiful girls to be a part of our sisterhood. Bid day is just a short time away, and I can't wait for you to experience the first of many spectacular events with this sorority that you will be experiencing over the next four years at college. I know you have something amazing to offer to our chapter and I can't wait to see what it is.

With love,

Your new sister

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
