An Open Letter To My Delta Gamma Sisters

Dear Delta Gammas:

When I told my friend (who is in a frat) that I was rushing DG he was shocked. He told me that I am not a sorority girl. He also asked me if something happened during the few months we didn't speak to each other, and why the sarcastic ssashole he met last year is rushing now?

To be honest, his reaction didn't surprise me. He is the kind of kid who will speak, say something outrageous and then think about it. But I felt a little offended when he said that I am not the typical sorority girl. I am not a tall, beautiful girl who is obsessed with pumpkin spice lattes and who wears leather boots. Hell, I don't even own a pair of leather boots.

Freshman year I would have believed those words. I would have believed that because I am far from that description I don't belong to a sisterhood. I met so many girls that are part of greek life that are far from the stereotype that movies and media portrait, that I realized I wanted to be part of it.

I have to admit that at the beginning I was a little skeptical. Sure, I fell in love with DG values, colors and philanthropy as I was stalking the website this summer, but I was not sure about joining. I went through recruitment after learning more about this top-notch fraternity (because we are not a sorority!) and knowing that I was going to be a founder sister. Imagine how good that looks?

But after meeting most of you I realize I was in the place I belong to. I am a huge believer of destiny and that everything happens for a reason, and there was a reason why I ignored the stereotypes and went through this. We are all amazing girls with bright futures, and we will make DG a place we will be proud to call home.

It's been a week since bid day, and I can seriously say that I have connected with so many of you. I can already tell that this will be an amazing year filled with laughter, philanthropy events, late night movies, support and more. Of course it will be filled with cute anchors, too.

DG sisters, I am so glad I can call you all my sister and I can't seriously wait for this year to come,

Orly

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
