What Sisterhood Means to Me
CSU Alpha Delta Pi

Sisterhood is more than throwing what you know for an Instagram pic. Sisterhood is a concept that you will see through the scene of Greek life throughout nearly all U.S. college campuses. Within our society, many people see a sorority woman and consider the concept of her calling hundreds and thousands of women her sisters very superficial. Many look at the idea of sisterhood but do not know what it truly means to a sorority woman.

Sisterhood is a concept that is truly so much bigger than itself. Sisterhood is having a group of woman that inspires you on a daily basis. A group of women that are there for you to cheer you on at your highest of highs as well as being your shoulder to cry on at your lowest of lows. Sisterhood is having always having a friend to hang out with, always having someone to take on those late night food runs with. Having a friend that will stay up all night studying with you, and are the people pushing you to achieve your greatest. Sisterhood is always having a group of women to keep you grounded, and always inspiring you to be a better you. It is having women who stand by you through your growth in your collegiate career and crying bittersweet tears when the time comes you are no longer a college level member within the chapter.

With that being said, the idea of sisterhood travels far beyond your college years. Sisterhood is being able to travel across the world and being able to connect with a woman you've never met on such a deep level just from the society you chose to be in your college life. Having a common connection with a woman in most places you go.

Sisterhood is being able to have a bond with these women far beyond four years. Being able to have your sisters standing beside you on your wedding day. Having these women to celebrate your first real job, your first house, your first child and so on with them supporting you the whole time. Having your children raised together. Having a bond that last eternity. To me, that what being in a sisterhood means to me.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
