Dear Members of the
Society for the Advancement of Management at Northern
On the
behalf of the Virginia Tech chapter of Phi Beta Lambda, a small
business-oriented student group much like your own, please accept our sincerest
condolences in regards to the tragedy that occurred on your campus this past
week. Having gone through a similar trying time ourselves, we understand
not only the immense pain that follows such a horrific event but also the
difference made by a few simple notes and well-wishes from sister organizations
at other universities.
Last
Thursday began like any other day. By the end of the afternoon, however,
students at Tech gathered around television sets in dorm rooms and apartments
in shock as the events at NIU unfolded. The images of ambulances, police
cars and media trucks on your campus brought the same immediate thought to mind
for everyone watching, “This can’t be happening again.” Words cannot
express the heartbroken feeling many of us had as we realized that the same
terror that gripped our campus was now facing yet another American
university.
While
we realize that cards, letters, and kind words alone can never truly take the
pain away, please know that we are all thinking about you and that we’re here
for you guys whenever you need us. As a university, as a student
organization, and simply as fellow college students who know the unspeakable
pain of losing close friends and classmates, we know how you feel and we want
to help. The hurt doesn’t go away quickly but neither will those of us
who are here to support you.
NIU is a strong
university. The Hokies know the Huskies will Prevail.
Sincerely,
Ryan S. Lilly, Chapter
Reporter
& Executive Club Officers of Phi Beta Lambda at Virginia Tech
