In 1898, our
founders gave us the greatest gift we could have asked for. They created this
organization that has, in just three years, already changed my life so much. As
I look back at my time in Zeta so far I realize just how much my sisters have
impacted me. I came to UNT and didn’t know anyone and wasn’t super comfortable
in my own skin but I found this group of women who has built me up and
encouraged me to do things I never imagined I could do. My sisters have been
there for the ups, the downs, and the in-betweens, and they have loved me
unconditionally. They have seen greatness in me even when I could not see it
for myself and they have never given up on me. It is easy to find people who
will be there for you during the good times but finding a support system who
will stick through the bad times is what counts most.
I have one year
left as a collegiate member of Zeta Tau Alpha and I can’t believe my time is
almost up. Because of my sisters I am growing to the be woman I always wished I
could become and am driven to take on things I never would have had the guts to
do without their encouragement. Our chapter has grown together so much and I am
so proud to call these women my sisters and call this chapter my home. I think
that when we feel loved and have others to love, we are capable of amazing
things and can say from experience that this chapter is built on the love that
our founders envisioned for our members over 100 years ago. Our creed gives us
so many beautiful tenets to live by but it truly all comes down to love, the
greatest of all things.
