"Naturally some letters stand out."
Some letters indeed stand out more than others. Take it from one who knows, someone who's been in those letters himself, living & loving life representing in those same letters. Without question, without contest, one pair of letters does stand out & no number of votes to the contrary will tell me otherwise.
The very first day I saw those letters - well before my mind was made up to go out & support the ladies who wore them - was an epiphany, a revelation of sorts, a moment of truth for me. Whether their letters were displayed on cardinal totes (love & roses), on their hearts & sleeves or both of the above, I began to wonder: What made these women stand out above all the others? What made these wonderful ladies such a force to be reckoned with on campus?
I did all the homework & research I possibly could & found out just why these ladies & these letters stood out above all the others: strong emphasis on grades, continued learning, serving for the greater good of the community, finding ways to stay involved on & off campus - the list could go on ad infinitum. These women, I can tell you this much, were truly living out their values & most of all they had a classiness about them which no one else could surpass, much less equal.
Exceeding the expectation. Living. Loving. Leading. Serving. Each & every aspect of that sisterhood I mentioned above gave me the initiative, then & there (not without making some baby steps, of course) to start supporting these women in the first place. Right away, I knew that these ladies were the ones I'd stand by & represent from that day forward.
Whenever someone says, "NAturally
sOme
leTTers
stand out,"
they truly mean it. And you don't need to look far to know immediately whose letters have stood out in a class of their own for just over 112 years.
