Our summer months were spent constantly missing each and every one of our sisters. There wasn’t a day that went by without us sending each other a text or leaving a voicemail about how excited we were all to head back to Bloomington. At the end of August we were all reunited once again and our new pledge class moved into the house for their first time. | Our summer months were spent constantly missing each and every one of our sisters.
