So in honor of my beautiful Phi Mu Lambda Epsilon ladies getting ready to start recruitment here is something I wrote after my last Bid day from last year:

Last Saturday we welcomed home 39 new Phis to start their journey with Phi Mu. It wasn’t until after all the excitement and finally catching up on sleep that it hit me that while their journey is just beginning and is filled with possibilities my journey (at least as a collegiate) is coming to a close. While the new Phi’s beginning pinning all the possible Phi Mu goodies that they can start looking for I’m about to embark on the next phase of my Greek life experience and the next chapter of my life…life after graduation. That’s scary thinking that I don’t know what’s coming next. I don’t know what to plan for and what to expect to be coming my way. As I try to imagine what my life is going to be like I can’t help but feel blessed that I was given a life and people around me that I am genuinely going to miss. My roommates, my sisters, my friends, my littles, the list goes on. I can’t believe that I won’t see their beautiful faces everyday come May 11th. But I know that there is a plan for me. I know that God has something planned for all of us. I know that He has something in store for me which might seem new and scary but is going to be what’s best for me and I have to embrace whatever comes my way. He also has amazing plans for the women who are beginning (or continuing) their journey in the sisterhood that has meant so much for me. Romans 12:10 was brought up during recruitment this past year. Our chaplain wanted to remind us that just as our creed tells us to “to be to others what we would they would be to us”the Bible tells us  10 Be devoted to one another in love. Honor one another above yourselves. Two of our values love and honor. I know that if our chapter continues to follow the values set forth by our founders and continues to love each other and be devoted to one another than Lambda Epsilon will continue to flourish and shape women into their greatest potential.
