It's something unpredictable but in the end it's right
I hope you had the time of your life
Tonight was one of the most emotional experiences I've been through. If anything it showed me exactly how much everything means to me.
The Delta Phi chapter of Phi Mu held its 3rd Dimension Ceremony tonight....meaning that there are no longer any active members in the chapter. For all intents and purposes, the chapter is gone, even though formal operations do not cease until next week.
It didn't really hit me until right at the end of the service...and then when it did, I couldn't stop crying. I barely made it through singing "Sisters" due to sobbing...not just crying, sobbing. Ugly sobbing with tears running down my face. It was attractive, let me tell you.
Listening to all of the girls talk about what Phi Mu meant to them resonated with me...I remembered my speech at my ceremony. Phi Mu was my home away from home. It was having sisters who LITERALLY picked me up off the floor when it felt like everything was falling apart. It meant being accepted. No longer was I the freak from high school with a few close friends. I had found a home where it was okay to be myself. Being quirky and nerdy? That was normal for us. I had finally found somewhere I belonged. That is a feeling that can never be taken away from me...and I hope my sisters realize this as well.
I could go on forever about what this chapter has meant, the memories made, and how these women have changed my life forever. But if I did that, I'd be here all night typing...and then some. I will never be able to fully explain what this chapter has meant. It's more feelings than words. I am proud of my sisters and all we have accomplished.
This is not goodbye forever. It's goodbye for now. We will be back. And we're going to be that much stronger because of it.
It was something unpredictable...and in the end? It was right.
I really did have the time of my life <3
