Dear PNM'S

Coming to Tech, I never planned on joining a sorority. But being in a new city where I didn’t know anyone, I wanted to find my people and be surrounded by inspiring women.

Throughout the rush process, Alpha Xi Delta resonated with me the most. It felt like a breath of fresh air, I had found a place where I could be my most authentic self. Since then, I have gained so many lifelong friends and made so many memories.

On the first day of rush, I bonded with my future Big. Over the summer, I explored new continents with my roommate. Next year, I’ll be rooming with Alpha Xis, creating new memories.

Ever since day one, I’ve continuously met so many remarkable women who are honest, funny, and hard-working. They have my back, celebrate my accomplishments, and push me to be the best version of myself in every possible way. I see parts of who I hope to become in them and vice versa. This chapter has made my time at Georgia Tech a whole lot brighter and the I cannot imagine my life without the friendships I have made!
