Do it Now, Remember it Later

Hey Iota! I’m Alina and this is my first blog post as JA! I’m serving as this upcoming year’s historian and I’m so excited to serve y’all!

Not much has happened since I got home, so I thought I should recap how this past semester was after crossing.

To be honest, I had a lot of doubts. I thought my life would remain the same. I thought I would still walk through the BSB unnoticed and spend my afternoons bored out of my mind after I was done with my assignments. I had very little knowledge of what sororities of any kind were like.

I was scared about what the future held.

I got close to some of the most amazing, diverse cast of people I have ever found. I have been grateful for having two of the best bigs a sister could ask for! They helped me out so much during MEP with food, baking, studying, life advice, and MEP in general! These two are extraordinary! :D

The girls in my MC class are amazing! Both of them are extremely caring, diligent, and humorous! During MEP, they made me laugh every day I was with them! These two did so much for MEP, and not seeing them for months felt like the strangest thing in the world to me. Reuniting with them during formal made everything feel right again!

I miss seeing them so much! :(

The Kappa Kappa Psis are also pretty cool too! When I joined, I only knew two of them, and I was acquainted with a third one. I was scared to interact with them until we had a few opportunities to mix with the Kappa Kappa Psis. It took me a while to warm up to some of them, but it was definitely worth it! The KPsis are really nice and extremely funny! They helped make my first Dia fun and safe(I slipped while trying to retrieve the disc golf disc I was using)!

All of my sisters and really cool! I honestly don’t know where I’d be without y’all! I think y’all are really funny, and all of you are so smart and so talented! Some of y’all helped me out when things got tough or when I just really needed it—during and after MEP—and I have been able to lay my trust with y’all. I have spent some nights with some of y’all, just talking about a variety of topics until maybe three or four in the morning!

And some of y’all have given me a lot of good advice throughout the semester! From these experiences, I think I know what sisterhood really feels like! Now that I’ve had a taste of what the sisterhood is like, I’m so glad I can call y’all my sisters!

I noticed that I’ve changed a bit since I became a sister. When I came in, I was a panicky freshman who had very little confidence in herself. I found it hard to talk to new people and I have suffered a few times because of this difficulty. I used to find comfort in people I already knew. I hid behind this cheery, hyper facade because I felt like I had to pretend that I was some outgoing person. Since I joined, I have been conquering my fears every day and I have accomplished so much since I have been attempting to live up to my expectations as a sister of Tau Beta Sigma. 

Now, I have no doubt in my mind. I know my decision to accept my bid was the best decision I could ever make, and I would not have it any other way! I love serving the band with y’all, and I can’t wait for the next three years with y’all!

Have a great summer! :D

MLITB,
Alina
