History in the Making

“Sarah, my love for you is deathless, it seems to bind me to you with mighty cables that nothing but Omnipotence could break; and yet my love of Country comes over me like a strong wind and bears me irresistibly on with all these chains to the battlefield.

The memories of the blissful moments I have spent with you come creeping over me, and I feel most gratified to God and to you that I have enjoyed them so long. And hard it is for me to give them up and burn to ashes the hopes of future years, when God willing, we might still have lived and loved together and seen our sons grow up to honorable manhood around us. I have, I know, but few and small claims upon Divine Providence, but something whispers to me—perhaps it is the wafted prayer of my little Edgar—that I shall return to my loved ones unharmed. If I do not, my dear Sarah, never forget how much I love you, and when my last breath escapes me on the battlefield, it will whisper your name.

Forgive my many faults, and the many pains I have caused you. How thoughtless and foolish I have often been! How gladly would I wash out with my tears every little spot upon your happiness, and struggle with all the misfortune of this world, to shield you and my children from harm. But I cannot. I must watch you from the spirit land and hover near you, while you buffet the storms with your precious little freight, and wait with sad patience till we meet to part no more.

But, O Sarah! If the dead can come back to this earth and flit unseen around those they loved, I shall always be near you; in the brightest day and in the darkest night—amidst your happiest scenes and gloomiest hours—always, always; and if there be a soft breeze upon your cheek, it shall be my breath; or the cool air fans your throbbing temple, it shall be my spirit passing by.

Sarah, do not mourn me dead; think I am gone and wait for me, for we shall meet again.”

he died a week after writing this to his wife at bulls run.

where are men like that these days?

we’re bad history majors but we love this movie!

I know you got a baby on the way and you just got back with your baby mama and engaged to do the right thing. Why the hell would I want to “hangout asap :)” with you. I swear boys are scumbag assholes.

always..

Oh its greek week…

but I’ll go with the flow to figure it out :)

someone-in-the-crowd asked: Hey! I'm a Tri-Sigma at Zeta Epsilon and I wanted to know if us as a sorority can charge the young ladies for not participating in activities? I know many other sororities do it but I don't know if our bylaws have anything against and I haven't been able to get an answer from someone in charge

it is up to your sororities individual by-laws. if i remember national by-laws theres nothing say you can your can’t, it depends on your chapter by-laws! In my chapter, I know if you say you are going to go to an event and the chapter spends money for you to be there, you have to pay them back. Hope that helps!
