I LOVE PHI SIGMA SIGMA! (a pep talk of sorts!)

[AngelPhiSig]

I just had to say how much I love my sorority! I definately am at work and while being very sick for the first hour or so... I CRIED when I was thinking about what Im going to say at my candlepass to all of my sisters. Its really hard to be alum as an undergrad, granted I RECOMEND it to any sister who is thinking about disaffliating due to financial/family/health reasons, you can reamain a Phi Sig, and still be an active alum in the chapter. Last semester was my "semester off" I didnt do much within the chapter, I had some bitterness toward some members and was happy to be alum. I'll admit that I didnt want much to do with some of my chapter. But this sem, I am a lot happier, and have high hopes for my chapter and our new exec, headed by my little! She makes sure that we use what we have in the way of local alum (myself, her best friend and some others who wish to stay active). I hope to some how come up with the funds to go to LTS this summer and find out ways I can help Gamma Gamma.

I really really love being a Phi Sig, and remember, sometimes you may get down because of problems in the chapter, certain sisters, national issues, etc. But at those times sit down and remember WHY you joined. There was a good reason that you put in all this time and effort and money. You knew something had to be worth it. If we look at what we have, and can show others how great it is to be Phi Sig, we can do great things locally and nationally - like expand. We need to show these schools that we are STRONG! And when you're alum, dont just disappear. Alum are valuable resources, and look into being active nationally by holding positions. Once you do this, and we keep strong leadership, theres no way that people can stop us!

Okay, now thats enough of a pep talk... if you ever need another one, let me know!

MUCH LITP and MINE!
