Dear Delta Zeta

To the two Greek letters that mean so much to me, and to the girls that changed my life...

Dear Delta Zeta,

When I was younger and I found out about Greek life, I pictured being a part of that world, a world with many sisters that I could have for the rest of my life, but I did not know if I would ever fit in. But honestly, I think it was one of my best decisions ever to go through recruitment when the time rolled around during my freshman year of college.

I never thought that joining a sorority, even a sorority as great as Delta Zeta, I would find my home away from home, develop friendships and make memories.I never realized how much I would need this group of chaotic, fun and extremely compassionate and amazing women by my side. I have changed a lot because of you and for that I am so thankful even though I have only spent a short time with all of you. I have found some of my best friends, because of you and found out more about myself than I would’ve had I not joined.

I have also never felt prouder of a group of women in my life. I see bright futures and an endless amount of possibilities for each and every one of you. And I can’t wait to see all of you and the future turtles find their way in the world being the fantastic individuals you are.

Thank you for everything you’ve done for me Delta Zeta. You had helped shaped me to who I am at this exact moment right now and I know you will continue to shape me as the years gone on. Without the support of sisters that can make a difference in your life, some who have shaped me to the woman I am today. You all are the best people I have ever met and I am so ecstatic that I get to call you all my sisters.

All those memories that brought our house together more. The loudness we bring to events that make us known around campus. Our kindness towards each other and our even greater appreciation for the plethora of philanthropies we support. And even more thankful for the little things: drive in movies instead of chapter, our competitive nature, and the endless amount of love that surrounds our sorority.

There is nothing better than that and I don’t think I would get what we have anywhere else. I love you all so much and can’t wait to see what the future brings for all us.

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.
