Greek of the Week: Miranda Laugherty

Name: Miranda Laugherty
Major: Therapeutic Recreation with a minor in Psychology 
Hometown: Friendsville, Tenn.
Year: Sophomore
Chapter: Gamma Chi ;) 

Q: What do you plan do to with your degree after you graduate?
A: When I graduate, I hope to attend Occupational Therapy School. This is dream of mine, and I would love to be able to pursue a career where I am able to help disabled patients through the therapeutic use of daily activities.

Q: What are some of your hobbies? What do you like to do in your free time?
A: I love to travel. Whether it's a couple hours away, or 30 hours away, I love seeing new places, new things, and new people. Embarrassingly enough, I am also a Netflix addict. Of course I also love hanging out friends. We could really be doing anything and I would be perfectly content.

Q: What does your chapter mean to you?
A: My chapter means everything to me. They have given me more than I could ever ask for from anyone or anything. We are all so individually unique and we all bring different things to the table. My chapter has taught me that it's okay to be different, to stand up for what you believe in, and to be firm in your decisions. My sisters have shown me friendship on every single level you could think of. They have shown me how to love and how to love well.

Q: What do you personally think is the best part of being a Sorority Woman?
A: The best part of being a sorority woman is the leadership opportunities that have been offered to me since I have been a part of my chapter. These leadership opportunities have given me qualities that I will take with me when I graduate and help me in my future career. Being a sorority woman has prepared me for my future. As a sorority woman, you are also a role model on campus. I love being able to represent greek life in a positive manner that makes other women want to be involved in greek life too.

Q: What's a fun fact about you?
A: My entire family has anorange car. Go vols.

Q: What do you like more: Being a big sister or having a little sister (in your chapter) ?
A: Although I loved being a little myself, getting my little was my favorite memory of college so far. My little is the little sister I never had. She made me see the importance of my chapter and she made me fall in love with my sorority all over again. I have loved seeing her grow since she has been a member. That's one of my favorite parts about being her big. 

Q: How are you involved on Panhellenic Council?
A: I am now on Panhellenic's recruitment team serving as the Assistant Vice President of Recruitment Counselors!

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.

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.

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.
