This morning I got up early with all intentions of getting some homework done before I went to class. Of course I turn on Pandora every morning. Well I got caught up in the music and guess what song came on "American Pie" by Don McLean, all about the day the music died.
Now, this song is special in the fact that it's epically long and it's about the day Big Bopper, Ritchie Valens, and Buddy Holly died in a plane crash. The song in itself is sad, but I've been in love with it since I was a kid and could recite every word to you (yes and I'll prove it to you too).
But, this song has an even bigger meaning to me. My first dance as a Kappa Delta I found out the importance of it within our circle. Every dance we have all of the people gather together in a circle and sway to the music as we belt our hearts out to the song. Each year I have watched a senior class gather together in the middle of the dance floor as they commemorate their last year as a Kappa Delta Collegian. This year, it will be my turn. Now it's always been a song that I've loved, but it means even more to me now that I've had this wonderful experience with my sorority, and I wouldn't trade it for the world.
So join in, be merry and sing with me "This will be the day that I die KAPPA DELTA!"
