An Open Letter To The Girls Who Are Now My Sisters

Dear Sisters,

These past three weeks have been a rollercoaster for all of us. From rush week to syllabus week and everything in between, each of us has gone from strangers to sisters. We all have different backgrounds and come from different places but we now share one common home in our sorority. I can't wait to take on this year with all of you and I hope you all feel just as excited as I am.

I grew up in a home with only one brother. I never had the opportunity to know what it was like to have a sister who could be there for you in your times of need or just be there to borrow clothes from. I've always wanted a sister, but growing up I had a hard time connecting with girls, and I never really had a strong friend group. I was scared I wouldn't belong anywhere, but that all changed when I met you guys. Being in a sorority has helped me gain the confidence to interact with you all and I gained not one, but 80 incredible best friends. No matter what, I know that each and every one of you will be there for me and I couldn't be more thankful for that.

I promise that no matter what happens, I will stick with each of you. I promise to let you borrow my clothes and I promise to grab Hot Box with you at one in the morning. I promise to be the shoulder you cry on and the smiles you guys need on a bad day. I promise to be there for any problem that comes our way whether it's about a boy or about school or even about which top you should wear to a basketball game. I promise to help you guys pick out dresses for our formals. I promise to be there for all of you as we start by being initiated by our older sorority sisters and end with us in our graduation caps, off to the next steps in our life.

You guys don't know it yet but you all have already made my life so much better. If I had made the decision not to rush, I wouldn't have met most of you. I wouldn't be able to say that I have 80 best friends, all of who have amazing personalities and who are just as beautiful on the inside as they are on the outside. You guys could have rejected me and outcasted me but I honestly feel like you all have been so accepting and welcoming which helped me know that I made the right choice in picking my sorority. I can't wait to see what life has in store for us and I hope that we end up being life long friends, but for the next four years, we get to call each other sisters.

Love,

Your Pledge Sister

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.
