Hermanas Por Vida Hoy y Por Siempre: My letter of appreciation and love to Sigma Lambda Gamma National Sorority, Inc

Dearest Sigma Lambda Gamma,

As you know, on May 3, 2002 10:36:10 pm, I along with my amazing and incredible line sisters, A'sha and Cherie, joined a sisterhood that would forever change my life. Throughout my college career (and give or take a few years after) I endured difficulties with my grades, gained and lost friends, faced confusion in regards to my future and career, battled and survived depression and an abusive relationship, and took significant steps in journeying toward the road that would lead me to becoming the woman I am today. Without the love, support, and guidance of my hermanas I would not have been nearly as successful. This is why I dedicate these thoughts and memories to you. 

   

Since graduating from college, I have lived in Dallas, Tampa, and now College Station, and no matter where I have gone I have taken SLG with me. When living in Tampa, I met some incredible sisters whom made my life and transition as a Floridian so seamless. We had some incredible times and definitely heated up the dance floor on occasion. I'm so thankful for their love, support, and welcoming me into their lives. I miss them and think of them often. 

 

Now that I've returned to the lonestar state my love for my sisters has only grown stronger. Through our incredible listserv, I was introduced to the Legendary Lambda Alpha Chapter and am now proudly serving as their Alumni Advisor. Through them I have been introduced some pretty cool fellow alumni in Houston whom I'm proud to call my hermanas.  

And although my journey still has many stops along the way to come, I know that my hermanas and the invaluable lessons that I have learned from them with forever remain in my heart. Thank you Sigma Lambda Gamma for changing my life and allowing me to be a Gamma.

Hermanas Por Vida,
