Pi Phi Beta Phi

Pi Phi land took over my life the past two weeks...thus the major lack of internet time. But not to worry, tomorrow is the first day of school...the first day of my senior year... but that is a whole other discussion...and my routine will get back in full swing.

This past Friday was Bid Day however, and it is something to be noted...

For the past three years I have dreaded recruitment and spending two weeks basically living and breathing everything Pi Phi. I don't love rush. I never have and it always takes it out of me in so many ways...spiritually, emotionally, physically...
Yet no matter how much I dread it and no matter how much I wish it to just end ... there are always moments that redeem the whole process for me... moments where I learn something about myself, or grow from a frustration or a leadership position... moments when I get closer to a friend or am touched by another girl's life and actions... forcing myself to get outside my comfort zone in many different ways... these types of things always make me stop and remember why I love this organization and this group of girls so much.
I wouldn't trade my time with these ladies for anything and this whole sorority experience as brought so much into my life... way more than I ever could have imagined or given back.
My best friends... and so many experiences and lessons, and so much growth that I will never take for granted...

And it all keeps going... new girls arrive and their process and stories begin...the wheels just keep turning... time keeps passing. I found myself watching the new girls get off the bus, wondering where the time went... wondering if my time was well spent... but I believe it was... it has been well spent... and I still have another year left.
