A Letter To Our New House Mom

Dear new house mom,

I am sure that you are completely overwhelmed right now. You are literally swimming in new names to learn and getting accustomed to a new city and home. I would be concerned if you didn't have the slightest feelings of overwhelmingness. And even though you may feel this way, we want you to know that it's OK. We are so excited to get to know you! When you feel a little less overwhelmed and freaked out by the 120 girls' names you are trying to remember, we want you to know that we are here to get to know you.

We are here for you just as much as you are here for us. We know you have done this whole house mom thing before but it really is different for each sorority. We want to be there for you as much as we can. And while we are so incredibly appreciative of all the positive words and happy spirits you have for us while we are chanting and singing and jumping for five hours a day, we also want to reciprocate that. We want to reciprocate the love you already give to us, 120 people you barely know. We want to cheer you on just as loud and as hard as you are cheering us on!

New house mom, we are excited for you to be here. We are thrilled that you have started a new journey with us! How did we get so lucky! Already, we can tell how open and fabulous you are.

So, what we really want to say is thank you. Thank you for spending hours learning our names from a tiny composite picture you were given. Thank you for already loving us wholeheartedly. Thank you for giving this your all. And thank you in advance for everything that you will do. There are bound to be times where we feel like you saved our lives and for this we thank you. We thank you for all the small gestures and the kind words and the feelings of welcomeness. We thank you for all of this and more.

Thank you, new house mom! We cannot wait to get to know you better and to built the house mom-sorority girl relationship with you!! We love you already!

Xoxo,

Your new "house"

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.
