Why I joined LKS: I joined LKS because as a first year I looked up to these girls on campus. They were such role models to me.

I always wanted to be one of those girls who wore her letters proudly and now I finally can be!

Ana Simonyan
Year I joined LKS: 2^nd
Why I joined LKS: I joined LKS mostly because it just fit for me. I met many of the girls prior to NMOing, and knew that they were exactly the type of people I wanted to surround myself with. There isn’t one girl in LKS that you couldn’t count on, that wouldn’t give you a big hug or encouraging smile if you needed it. I joined LKS because I wanted a group of sisters to represent and a beautiful group of girls to represent me!
Favorite NMOing moment: I don’t think I can even really pick a favorite NMOing moment. I can say that my FAVORITE part of NMOing, though, was the  love and support we received from all of our new sisters. From the minute we joined, we were a part of LKS. We didn’t have to think twice about it. It’s really awesome to join something and feel so welcomed immediately.
