Tonight was a Monday night meeting just like any other, but little did I know we were about to do an activity that was about to touch me. Our sisterhood coordinator began to instruct us as we followed. We put our name on a blank sheet of paper and left it on our desk. Then each sister was to go around the room to every other blank sheet and write a message to that sister.
I lay in bed right now as I just finished reading my paper. The things I just read make me appreciate my sisters to a whole different level. Some make me laugh and some make me cry, but most of all I'm so touched. I'm so proud to be a part of such a strong sisterhood that can shine through anything.
My sisterhood is not something that can be seen or heard. It is what I feel everyday. I'm talking about the 50 women I am closest to. The ones I am related to by love, not blood. The ones who remind me who I am everyday and encourage my dreams. The ones who teach me to treat myself with respect, as well as everyone around me.
Reading my page tonight, I'm overwhelmed with a sense of belonging and love. I admire each and every one of them in their own way. While I've only been in for a year, I've seen them dream, hope, and inspire.
I have a sister who will go a mile out of her way just to see you for five minutes to give a hug. I have a sister who is the president of 12 different organizations, but still makes time to call to say hello. I have a sister who may be having the worst day, yet walks around with a beautiful smile on her face. I have a sister who ultimately brings out the best in anyone she meets. I have a sister who will bring you back to earth when your head is in the clouds. I have a sister who will lay in bed and cry with you.
If I'm not lucky, then I don't know who is. These girls put me before themselves and they truly want me to succeed. They know everything about me and will still hold my hand. They have the power to ruin me but would never dream of it.
These are the women who give me the confidence to face my fears, the push to achieve my goals, and the ones celebrating with me in the end. This is my sisterhood. This is an eternal love that will last. This is a feeling I can't find anywhere but here. This is in delta phi epsilon. I love you <3
