What Alpha Gamma Delta Has Taught Me

Coming to college, I was nervous to join Greek Life. I worried that I wasn't pretty enough or wouldn't fit in with any of the chapters on campus. But then I found Alpha Gamma Delta, and this chapter welcomed me in graciously. In my two years of being and Alpha Gam, I've learned so much, and I'm happy to share what I've learned with you.

Alpha Gam has taught me...

that I have an endless support system

No matter what happens in my life, good or bad, I will always have a group of women there for me. Alpha Gams will continue to support one another even when the four years comes to an end. It really is not just four years, it's for life.


that people really care about me

Alpha Gams continue to amaze me by how caring they are and how they genuinely want to make sure everyone is 100% okay. When things aren't going well, I can always count on a sister to cheer me up.

I can be myself without hesitation

At some point in their lives, everyone worries about what others think about them. Alpha Gam has taught me to forget what others think and be more comfortable with myself. I can be as goofy as I want to be, and these ladies will love me no matter what.

to see the greatness within others

"Don't matter what you look like, don't matter what you wear. How many rings you got on your finger. We don't care (No we don't care!)" Alpha Gam has taught me to see beyond a person's exterior and to value their inner qualities. The artificial things will pass away over time, but a person's character will always shine through, and Alpha Gam has shown me the importance of valuing this over anything else.

to contribute something amazing to the world

Alpha Gam appreciates every sister and their career goals. I am inspired by my sisters and their aspirations to succeed in film, education, business, and beyond. I hope to leave my mark on the world and make a memorable impact, with Alpha Gam cheering me on along the way.

to find my purpose

I've always wanted to know why I was placed in this world. With the opportunities Alpha Gam has provided me, I've determined that my purpose is to entertain others. I've enjoyed making my sisters laugh at chapter meetings, retreats, and recruitment. And I can't wait to live with this purpose once the tassels fly.

So thank you, Alpha Gam. Thanks for never pressuring me to wear makeup. Thanks for allowing me to joke around during recruitment. Thanks for letting me be an absolute meme queen and loving me for it.

Thank you for the wonderful ladies who lift me up and want me to be the best I can be. Thank you for letting me join a group of women who are so down to Earth and want to defy the sorority stereotype. Thank you for all of the challenges and triumphs.

If I had to do recruitment all over again, I wouldn't have changed a thing.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
