Always Anchored, Always Delta Gamma

I spent all four years of college involved in a sorority, Delta Gamma. And still to this day those are four of the best years of my life. I made memories and friends that will definitely last a life time.

The skills that I took away from that house are part of who I am. I learned so much about myself and grew beyond who I thought I could be.

That house became a home and the girls within those walls became family.

Unfortunately life outside of college had made it extremely hard for me to stay involved but don't think that means I don't care. I just hope one day life will slow down a little and I can give back what was given to me.

I was extremely saddened when I learned that one of the girls was taken from this earth on Sunday in a tragic shooting. My eyes tear up and my heart hurts as I type this. Looking back at the time I spent in Delta Gamma, I can only imagine what the girls are going through right now.

The bond you form with your sisters is indescribable. In just a short time a friendship is made and I know they are aching right now.

And now that I am a mom I not only ache for my sisters and their loss but for the young girl's family and their loss. I can not even imagine losing one of my girls. I pray for them.

Stay strong and stay united.
