I am constantly highlighting my appreciation for my fraternity, Sigma Phi Epsilon. Though they are an extremely important aspect of my life, I am blessed to have a second family – Gamma Phi Beta. I had the honor to be named a Gamma Phi Beta Moonman during my sophomore year of college. For those who may not know, what this means is, I get to to represent an entire sorority being a male. I get to promote them and live by their principles, as well as my own fraternity’s. I am still humbled by this honor and want to take this time to express my appreciation.
Gamma Phi Beta are women building strong girls. They are promoting the importance of young girls to think positive, building self-confidence, and inspiring the leaders of tomorrow! I find this to be so inspiring myself. In today’s society, young girls are always having to defy the odds. To try a little harder. To be a little smarter. To go a little farther. All that combined leads to unhealthy anxiety. So, to know that there is an organization like Gamma Phi Beta that exists to help these girls is phenomenal. Better yet, to know I get to represent a group of women who does this, is something I will forever be grateful for! When I wear their letters (screen-print, of course) there is a sense of honor that feels my body. Honor that, their organization is supporting girls in the long-term, not momentarily.
Though I am biased, to have the opportunity to represent the best sorority on campus is incredible! They are the most down to earth, smartest, prettiest, funniest, best all around women on campus. They know how to have a conversation with anyone and make everybody feel included – they definitely made myself feel at home. They know how to have fun and be successful as well. They are leaders on campus and people know the quality of women in Gamma Phi Beta. When I walk around campus and see the beautiful women of GPhiB, it never fails that it makes my entire day. No matter if I am having a rough day or not, they never fail to put a smile on my face.
To know that I have Gamma Phi Beta to rely on is something that is irreplaceable. To not only have 60+ brothers, but 70+ sisters to go to for anything is something I could never imagine doing without. At this time, I just want to thank Gamma Phi Beta for all you all have given me. Thank you for accepting me into your family. Thank you for giving me some of the best memories that I will cherish forever. Thank you for being genuine women. All in all, thank you for being you and allowing myself to represent you all. I promise to always love you all to the moon and back and put you on the pedestal you all deserve!
As the famous phrase says and it definitely holds true: "If I Weren't A Guy, I'd Go Gamma Phi!"
