Emma, Maddie, Marina, MP, & Tyler

Emma - Thank you for growing with me and helping me learn how to love so big! You bring so much love and laughter into my life, and I am so happy to call you my friend. There’s no one I’d rather go through our highest highs and lowest lows with. Here’s to many more!

Maddie - Thank you for teaching me how to be myself and for being there after every bad day. You have the biggest heart I’ve ever seen, and watching you become the woman you are today has been incredible. I’m so excited to do life with you after graduating. I love you!

Marina - Thank you for teaching me how to have the real conversations, and loving me when I didn’t know how to love others. You have so much love to give, and it amazes me every day. You have been such a big part of my life, and I’m excited to see what you do from here!

Tyler - Thank you for teaching me accountability and offering me endless laughs. I’ve loved growing with you and seeing you blossom into the best version of yourself. Spontaneity is our best friend, and I’ve loved spending that with you. I love you!

My sweet friends! I am so thankful that Zeta has brought us together, and I can’t wait to cross the finish line with you all! I hold you all so close to my heart, and I really believe that I have found my home with you. I’ve had my best laughs and my best cries with you guys, and I wouldn’t trade that for the world.

XOXO, MP

Clara & Sarah

Sarah,

When I joined Zeta, I never expected to find someone who would change my life in ways I didn’t even realize I needed. We’ve become such a package deal that I can’t even walk into a room alone without someone asking, “Where’s Sarah?”. Whether we’re traveling the world, or having a late night debrief in our room, you’re the person I want by my side. You’ve seen me at my best and my worst, and somehow, you love me through it all. You’re the friend who knows exactly what I’m thinking before I even say it, and I’m so lucky we get to do life together. I haven’t known you my whole life, but I know for a fact I’m keeping you for the rest of it.

Love, Clara

Cherry, Evie, & Mary

Evie & Mary,

I never thought I would ever be so blessed to have such amazing littles. You two are the first people I think of when I’m asked “why zeta?” Meeting you two was like love at first sight, and I cherish every conversation, whether it’s a laugh or a cry. It really feels like fate, because I couldn’t pick any two other people that match me so perfectly. I know we all ran home to ZTA, but I’m so happy I was able to find my home within ZTA. You two are genuinely my sisters from another mister, and I don’t know what I’d do without you two. Love you both so much!

Love, Cherry

Addie & Eileen

Addie,

From our very first night sleeping in our shoebox dorm, I knew I hit the jackpot for best roommate and best human. Through the chaos of first semester, you have been such a constant & such a joy to experience all these new things with! Your laughter is contagious, your authenticity is admirable, and your strength inspires me every single day.

Thank you for the endless laughs & side quests - college is so fun with you by my side! I can’t wait to run this back 7 more times (hopefully with less new dorm bobble heads next semester?)

Love you to the moon and back,

Eileen

Ariana & Keira

Keira,

I’m so happy GT and ZTA brought us together. You’ve been my rock, #1 Publix buddy, favorite gym partner, and best lunch date since move-in. You keep me excited when I get too boring and lazy, and lift me up when I’m down. I can’t wait to live together for the next three years and stock our fridge with optimal snacks and high protein lunches. There’s nobody else I would want to steal my fruit and see at the library at midnight. I’m so excited to do Europe and college and life with you!

Love you so so much, Ariana

Amelie, Reilly, & Sanya

Reilly & Sanya,

The most perfect fam ever. Going into the school year, I felt hesitant to try and join Greek life, and that I wouldn’t find my place within a sorority. Not only have I found my place, I feel like I have found my home because of you guys. I am so grateful that I can always come to y’all with with every massive or miniscule issue that every crosses my path and you’ll not only listen, but give me advice and make me feel seen and safe. Sanya, you’re such a source of love and support for me, your consistency amazes me and your strength inspires me. Reilly, the love you’ve shown me got me through the best and worst of last semester. I aspire to be brilliant, beautiful, funny, and kind like you. Y’all are two of the biggest role models in my life, and I hope to have you in it forever.

With so much love, Amelie

Piper & JT

Piper,

From the moment I sent you that awkward “heyyy” text, I knew I’d lucked out with one of the best people I could ever hope to do this chapter of life with. Through every twist, turn, and absolute whirlwind moment at GaTech, you’ve been such a steady joy; someone who can make me laugh even on the most chaotic days. Every time we hang out, I’m reminded how lucky I am to have a friend whose humor, boldness, and unpredictability make even the smallest moments feel like an adventure.

Your energy is contagious, your openness is something I admire endlessly, and your presence has made this transition feel not just easier, but genuinely special. I’m so grateful for every laugh, every chaotic story, and every “wait, did she really just say that?” moment we’ve had so far. I can’t wait to make the rest of our time at GT & in ZTA just as meaningful, fun, and unforgettable as it’s already been. Here’s to all the memories ahead, and all the ones we haven’t even begun to imagine.

Love you endlessly! JT

Lucy & Caroline

Lucy,

From our European adventures to our first days of work, you’ve been by my side through it all. Little did I know that lunches together at Zeta would be the start of so many sweet memories together. Thank you for being patient with me as I led us down the wrong French street for the millionth time, and for laughing with me when I managed to mess up your specialty dinner. Navigating the ups and downs of college with you is such a blessing. Thank you for being so intentional, so caring, and so steady in the middle of all the beautiful chaos that is college life. You’ve supported every crazy dream and every late-night idea I’ve ever thrown at you - and somehow made me feel like I am capable of anything. I can’t wait for all the sweet treat runs, study dates, and traveling adventures still ahead of us!

Love you more than you know, Caroline

Willa & Reema

Reema is truly one of those people that you meet once in a lifetime. Meeting and becoming friends was a gift from the universe that I will be eternally grateful for. I am inspired every day by the way she loves others and I hope to have even a fraction of her kindness and grace. I actually don’t know what I would do without her, she’s my rock and I would choose to be friends and sisters a million times over. Thank you for loving me exactly as I am. Reems you are one of one and I wouldn’t have it any other way.

Love, Willa

Olive & Madeha

Olive is truly the most genuine and personable human I know. She is my homebase through the craziness of college and always makes me feel so loved and supported every time we are together. Olive effortlessly makes me a better person, and I am grateful I get to call her my big. She is so smart and driven, while still having so much fun and appreciating the value of life. I love that we can talk without talking and fill the room with so many laughs until our stomachs hurt. I cannot imagine my college experience without her in it. I am forever thankful zeta brought us together - not only as big and little, but also as best friends. Everyone needs an Olive Peng in their life!

Forever and always, Madeha

Addie, Eileen, Ginsey, Jordan, & Mattie

To my Pillars,

Words are not enough to express how grateful I am to have met you all in this life. How grateful I am to have experienced Ginsey’s amazing robot dance moves on bid day. How grateful I am to have generational lock-ins with Addie. How grateful I am to know Eileen’s amazing storytelling abilities. How grateful I am to be apart of Mattie’s adventures. The countless memories of laughter and joy always bring a smile to my face. Even when life at Tech gets hectic, we always find a way to stay close, ranging from our Pitt parties to texts with sweet notes saying, 'This reminded me of you.' To my amazing friends who I believe will be apart of my life for years and years to come: thank you for being you and loving me for me.

Love, Jordan
