Oath

Initiation Day- So many thoughts were running through my head! I was so excited to finally be joining Alpha Gamma Delta! I was just so happy I was going to become a member of the sorority where I felt such a strong connection with the girls. I couldn't have been happier. I was so nervous too! Honestly, I was just focusing on not falling over in my heels! Alot of my initiation is a blur because I was so excited and nervous. This was the first time I was introduced to Alpha Gamma Delta's rituals and the meanings behind our rituals. I didn't fully understand all of the information I was being told. It was alot at once. But looking back I more fully understand what I was committing myself to as I signed an Oath to myself and to Alpha Gamma Delta. I no longer only represent myself, but I am apart of something bigger than myself. I agreed to uphold to the values of Alpha Gamma Delta and to instill these values into my daily life and into the relationships  I am building with my sisters. And as a recently new member, I am still learning the importance of the Oath which I have signed. This Oath will not end in a few years at the end of my college career, yet will be apart of me for the rest of my life. The Oath I have taken is a constant reminder of my need to challenge myself and grow as a woman, with the help of my sisters. I'm excited to be apart of the future Initiations. I think each time I will be able to get something new out of it and will be able to better incorporate these things into my life.
