Thank you, Wava.

               I recently went to Southern Precincts at University of Virginia and had one of the best times with my sisters and brothers. However, there was one activity we did that made me realize how much Wava and Tau Beta Sigma means to me. I came in through the Spring of 2012 and within that time I have taken a Kappa Kappa Psi little, a Tau Beta Sigma little, and became social chair. I always tell people that TBS is the best thing that has ever happened to me and that I am a better person because of it. The activity at Southerns was having everyone write a letter to Wava with three parts/prompts. The prompts were something along the lines: I have learned, I have changed, and I am thankful because. I want to share my letter to Wava on here because I want to honor her and share my love for sisterhood to everyone.

Dear Wava,

                I have learned a tremendous amount about not only about Tau Beta Sigma as an organization but also about myself. I have gone through a lot of hardships in high school and trying to find a good group of friends where I feel safe and content. To me, TBS is the entire package. I am with the most amazing people I have ever met and were doing service and working on our musicality…what more could I possibly want? I have learned, with the help of my big, that it is okay not to be perfect and that I have so much passion for the sisterhood. I don’t think I would have grown so much if it hasn’t been for my big. I owe her a thousand thank yous for the guidance and love that she has given me. During my process and still today, she has been my rock and has helped me realized the potential that I never saw in myself.

                I have changed so much within the past year. I am no longer insecure or unsure of myself. TBS has given me confidence in such way that I couldn’t even fathom. I can do much more for the sisterhood because it has shaped me into the kind of person I want to be. Through tough and trying times, I am a strong sister and I am eternally grateful for everything that TBS has given me.

                I am thankful because without TBS, I would still be lost and self-doubting. I wish I could do more than write a letter to say how appreciative I am of Tau Beta Sigma. I try to live my life by the 8 and 5 and through it; I look at life so differently. It is difficult to express exactly how I feel through words how much I am grateful for Wava and all of my sisters. I think it is something that we all can’t exactly say but we can certainly feel it. Nobody can understand the love we have for each other, which is why it so special and meaningful.

Thank you Wava, I hope you know that you have helped and changed so many people. I am so grateful for everything.
