my ADPi family

sometimes you think that everything is perfect, then your world falls apart and you feel like giving up. last semester was truly difficult, emotionally and mentally hard for me. this semester came around and I knew things had to change. I came into the semester worrying about where I belonged in my sorority and who wanted to take on me, I am practically three littles rolled into one. I had three beautiful, amazing sisters offer to adopt me and this was a really hard decision because it was hard to get another big diamond sister and give them this huge responsibility. I did not know that one of the three women was my new member educator, she taught us everything we needed to know while we were new members, before we were initiated. she basically was our mother for almost two months. one night I asked her if she would consider adopting me and all my emotional baggage. I truly thought nobody wanted to adopt someone like me. over winter break, she took me in and we grew closer, inch by inch. I know for me and many other sisters it is hard to not have an automatic connection with your big diamond sister, but sometimes the ones that take time to grow are the best. I didn't truly understand how much she cared for me until she explained it to me. one evening, she said something that I will never forget "I will never leave you. I am going to be your biggest supporter through everything." that's when I knew I made the right decision and that she was truly the best big diamond sister EVER!
