An Open Letter To My Sorority Sisters
Alyssa Cook

Dear sisters,

I've written before about my love for my sorority and how it captured my heart. But this one's for my sisters.

Whether we are close or have never really talked, this letter goes out to each and every one of you. I can't express my words for how thankful I am to be part of such a close, loving sisterhood.

When joining sorority life, I planned on gaining a few more close friends and maybe a new friend group, but little did I know that I would be able to truly say I gained around 150 sisters. Despite whether or not we hangout or what not, I feel comfortable around them and know I'm at home.

There are so many reasons I can think to be thankful for my sisters and different memories I could reflect on. Although I could name so much more, here are some of those things my sorority sisters do that make me so thankful.

1. I am thankful that I can always can find someone to eat with.

2. I am thankful because I know there will be at least someone who will stay in with me on a Friday night.

3. I am thankful to have sisters who will be there for me without judgement.

4. I am thankful for my sisters' complete honesty, even when its not what I want to hear.

5. I am thankful for my sisters for the support my sisters give me while going through boy problems.

6. I am thankful I know I have at least one thing in common (our sorority) with the about 150 sisters I have.

7. I am thankful that I have met some of my future bridesmaids.

8. I am thankful for always having someone to take endless amount of pictures with.

9. I am thankful I can always count on them for "likes" on social media.

10. I am thankful I feel comfortable around them and know I can be myself.


11. I am thankful for the endless laughs and unforgettable memories.

12. I am thankful I can always count on someone to keep me company during those good times and bad times.


13. I am thankful for gaining sisters for life.

Overall, I can't thank my sisters enough for making me, me. I never knew what it was like to feel fulfilled and fully content with my life up until I joined a sorority. Of course I have my bad days and days where I question everything, but that's when they're there for you the most.

Words cannot express my appreciation for each of my sisters and I hope every single one of them reads this.

So if you're questioning whether or not to go greek, just do it. Be open to the possibilities because I never imagined feeling so loved and thankful.

I love you all.

XOXO,

Alyssa Ellyn

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.
