DELTA--DELTA--DELTA

BONJOUR my little Pinkettes!!!! Did you miss me??? Because I have certainly missed you!! I decided to take a break over spring break (haha!) and take some time to relax before I began the last home stretch to graduation! You know what they say- absence makes the heart grow fonder! Hope that's true! ;-)

So I have been giving this entry a lot of thought and decided to take the advice of my wonderful sister Megan S. and write about something very close to my heart- the sorority. Now for those of you who are familiar with St. Kate's and me, you know that I have been a member of Lambda Sigma Tau for four years now. It has been a wonderful journey filled with laughs and tears, ups and downs. With anything in life, there are good times and bad, and life in the sorority is no different. But I must say- the good times FAR exceed the bad times.

As I'm sure you can guess, the friends you make in the sorority are life long. The friends i have made are some of the BEST friends I have ever had! In addition, they are not just friends, they are sisters. As an only child it is nice to have 30+ sisters! Seriously though. The friends I have made are always there for me and I can count on them no matter what. They are always there for me and make me smile when I am down. Hell, they make me smile for no reason at all! I love them so much. Not only are they good for a laugh, but I always see one of them while walking on campus. AND you most likely have at least one sister in a class. You are never alone! Sometimes that's good and sometimes.... well.... not always! Haha! I love the fact that I can call them whenever I need something. The same goes for them. We can call or text each other and don't have to be afraid that they won't be there. It's like having a safety net where ever you go. I love them and am so happy that I have them. The experiences I have made with them are priceless! Take for example our spring break get away! On Friday to Saturday, four of us got a hotel room for the night. We hung out, watched movies, played games, went swimming, and had dinner! What a fun time! Many laughs were shared and memories created. There are so many memories that I have made that I can't even begin to share them all here right now.

But with the good comes the bad. Of course, being such a large group, and as a large group of GIRLS, there is bound to be drama. There are most definitely cliques that occur and we don't all like each other. Now, some of the girls have a problem with this but what we need to realize is that--- we are GIRLS!!!! We are never going to be one big happy drama-free group. Sorry, but that's just the way things go! Now that doesn't mean that we can't all be CIVIL to one another!! In my four years in the sorority, I have been a fairly quiet person. Not raising my issues, and keeping my opinions to myself. There are just somethings that I have bit my tongue about for fear of creating waves. There are some things that bother me within the sorority. Yes, we all deserve a chance to share our input, but sometimes people over step the line and try to make their views the views of the entire group. Let others have a voice. Be OPEN to hearing them and stop being mean and cutting people off. We need to be respectful of EVERY person's views and sometimes that gets over looked. I guess I'm just tired to people being overly opinionated when I myself have had opinions but have kept them to myself. But I guess that's my fault. Then again, maybe if the environment was more open, I would have felt more comfortable. It's a game of give and take. We all need to be on the same page and agree on a happy place. In addition, I am sort of disappointed in the fact that not many of my sisters haven't supported me in my blogging journey. I guess that is their choice though. Just kind of crummy to know that you have so many sisters and they don't give two hoots. That's all I'm going to say in the matter. I love my sisters that ARE there are DO support me!! And BOY do they support me HARDCORE!!! Love those girls!!

Over all, my experience has been WONDERFUL and I do honestly love all my sisters. I hope that I can get to know the new members and they get to know me. I am so glad that I have been a part of such an amazing group of girls. They are ma SISTAH'S FO LIFE!!! Luv you guys!!

Thanks for reading and supporting! Don't forget to tell your friends about my group on facebook!! And don't forget- I am still looking for a date for the sorority formal on May 7th.
