There's No Place LiKe HΦme

My life is better with just two letters.

There's No Place LiKe HΦme
Kaylee Switzer

When I was a sophomore in college, I joined something bigger than myself. At the time, I didn't know what all I was about to get into, but I went to an interest meeting for a Christian sisterhood on campus and immediately fell in love. I felt like I was home, surrounded by young women like myself who were so focused on Christ and furthering His Kingdom.

The best thing about a sorority isn't the cute t-shirts, the socials, or the super fun chants. It truly is the bonds of sisterhood that are created. I don't know what it is about having a group of sisters who always have your back, but it's such a blessing. I always have a sister there for the good days and the bad. I have someone to help me on homework, with boy advice, and through life. I have a sister to pray with me and for me. And don't get me started on my Little, because that's another article in itself. I guess the big picture is that in a sisterhood, you never have to feel alone. You never have to feel like you don't matter. You never have to question if you belong. Because, not only does God remind you that you have a purpose, but you have sisters to motivate you to live up to that.

There are so many other great things wrapped inside a few Greek letters. However, that cliche saying about on the outside you can't understand it, but on the inside you can't explain it is one of the most true statements ever. A sisterhood, a sorority, a group of college aged women who come from all walks of life gathered in one organization all striving for a common purpose that is unique to their sisterhood seriously makes me proud to be a part of one. Joining a Greek organization is one of the best things I could have done.

To all my fellow Greek women, no matter the letters, we are all in one family. We are sisterhood, a sorority, a group of college aged women who come from all walks of life yet tied together by letters. A sorority woman is one of a kind. We value service and leadership both on and off campus. We are scholars, we are athletes, we are musicians, we are actresses, we are daughters, we are sisters, and we wear so many different hats in life. We hold ourselves high, we aim for success, and have the self confidence of Beyoncé. It doesn't happen overnight, but four years of wearing our Greek letters molds us into a woman worth celebrating.

My sisterhood, Kappa Phi, is one that I will love forever. My letters, KΦ, mean so much to me. They mean sisterhood. They mean life long friendships and memories. They mean service, leadership, and loyalty. They mean a bond to hundreds of women across the country. They mean so much more than two Greek letters.

They mean home.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
