On Saturday March 28, the Beta Chapter of Alpha Sigma Rho Sorority celebrated founder's day by inviting their alumnae back to campus! We started the day with a brief speech about our Chapter. Later on, we had our potential new members present themselves and had lunch with them. We ended the day, with a Black and Red dinner, where active members wear red and alumnae wear black.
Managing a sorority can be stressful and exhausting sometimes. A lot of burden and responsibility falls on me. Whenever there is an error, I am the first one to be blamed. But seeing the alumnae coming back for Alumnae Weekend makes me believe in all my efforts and dedication again. Seeing how girls who left school for so long are still so passionate about ASR makes me believe in myself again. It makes me realize that I am not alone, I will always have the support of all my sisters!
For a lot of people, Greek life is foolish and probably waste of time. But for me, it is something that I believe in. The same reason there are so many people passionate about a cause and advocate for it, I believe in my sorority. I believe in friendship, sisterhood and home away from home. A lot of people look down on "pay for your friends." But, we don't pay for our friends. We pay our dues so that we can have food during events, participate other events, buy gifts for ourselves.
Our alumnae network came together and decided to give our Chapter, a gift. The wooden Greek letters of Alpha Sigma Rho. When I saw the letters, I couldn't be any happier. Seeing the letters made me remember the reason why I am so passionate about ASR. As I came here to Texas by myself, I could never call Texas home. I never felt that I belong to Texas before meeting the amazingly funny sisters of ASR.
I wear my letters on my front because I know my sisters have my back
