How has Theta helped you succeed?
"I went to college in South Carolina but I am from California. Theta to me was my family away from home. I knew that I could count on these girls for anything and that they would always be there for me. Post college, I still stay in touch with majority of them. I've attended their weddings, celebrated the birth of their babies, and traveled to different parts of the US together. When I moved to DC, my two roommates were also Theta's from other universities. Knowing that I had that initial bond with them made moving here so much easier. They are my best friends and partners in crime! Theta is my family--one that I am so lucky to be a part of!"
Her advice to current chapter members:
"Enjoy every moment of this special sisterhood. We may only be in college and a 'member' for four years, but know that this sisterhood lasts a lifetime. Once you become an alumnae, you still have a special bond with these girls."
To all the graduating seniors:
"Follow your dreams! Nothing is impossible. Know that no matter where you are in the US, there will be a Theta there. Stay connected to your pledge class!"
