Hello, Everyone!
My name is An-Vi Nguyen, and it is an honor to introduce myself as the Spring 2014 President of Texas Sweethearts. I cannot even express to you all my excitement for this semester and the great things that are in store for us. Backed by an incredible officer board and a thriving active body, the Texas Sweethearts are looking forward to continuing our service to the community, supporting University of Texas athletics, and opening our arms to welcome new members to our blossoming sisterhood.
They said, “Don’t go to UT, because you’ll just be another number in their system.” Before attending the University of Texas at Austin, I came from a smaller city just north of the area and attended a 4A high school. I was a cheerleader, a mentor, and an officer or member of as many organizations I could get my hands on. My principal and teachers actually knew my name, and the students that walked the hallways of my school were all at least familiar faces. I was convinced that I could thrive in any environment I put myself in, but nothing prepared me for feeling so lost and nameless in an incredibly large and competitive public university. So then they said, “Join organizations, because it will make campus seem smaller.” And so I did. I attended virtually every student organization fair and attended the first few meetings of every flyer that was shoved in my hands at Gregory Plaza. Although I found great intentions in all of the organizations I looked into, it was not until I started attending Texas Sweetheart smokers that I suddenly found what I was looking for. The actives that I met throughout the recruitment process were so genuine and down to earth that I knew they were the type of people I wanted to be around throughout my college career. As they say, “You are who you surround yourself with.” The friends that I have made through Sweethearts have accompanied me through countless all-nighters in the PCL, driven hundreds of miles to see me on my birthday, gorged pizza with me while watching the Bachelor, and traveled to Costa Rica to do volunteer work by my side. I am forever grateful for all the Sweethearts I am blessed to call my friends and the unforgettable memories that I have shared with them all. They said that I would “meet [my] lifelong friends in college,” but they never told me that I would meet the sisters I never had.
To all prospective members, nothing would make me happier than to share my love for this organization with you all. Joining Texas Sweethearts was easily the best decision I made in my college career, and I encourage you to take the same leap of faith I took my freshman year and join us for one of our recruitment events. Our recruitment is truly a mutual selection process. As much as we want to get to know you, we also want you to be able to feel comfortable and assured that Texas Sweethearts is the perfect organization for you.
