My time in Kappa Kappa Gamma has taught me a lot about myself. I went from a girl to a woman here. I gained confidence I never knew I had inside of me. I learned that the possibilities to succeed in life are most definitely in my grasp even when I never though they were. So how do you say goodbye?
This is my last semester as an active member. In a few short months, I will go on to become an alumni member and while that comes with a whole new world of opportunities, is absolutely terrifying. I've loved my time here even when it was bad. My best friend held my hand in the ER for hours without ever giving it a second thought. My sisters sat on the floor with me in a hidden room during recruitment because my life was crumbling around me and I couldn't stop the tears. And my big answered my calls, day and night, no matter how stupid or silly it was.
These memories and these moments are the ones I'll cherish forever and the reason I'm so happy that I amma. So to all you seniors out there, who are all riding the boat with me, here's to one last semester of fun, adventure, and memories. May this semester be the best one yet and while we may have one too many drinks on the occasional Wednesday night, we know that these are the best days of our lives....but it will be over in a flash. So as I sit here and contemplate how to cope with saying goodbye in December, I just keep remembering the saying we have here that I think will always be the true motto of my time as an active.
"This was the place where I stumbled up the back steps and am walking gracefully out the front door."
