A Letter to the Younger Members of My Sorority
Meredith Bennett

To the younger members of my sorority,

You are about to experience the best years of your life. The sorority experience is absolutely amazing, and I hope you enjoy every second of your time here. Know that although you only spend four years on campus with these wonderful sisters, a sorority is truly for life.

I urge you to get involved in every way while you are here. Sign up for committees, run for an officer position, and make as many friends as you can. I know that sometimes it can be difficult to break out of your shell and challenge yourself, but it is completely worth it to transform into the best woman you can be.

When you do break out of your comfort zone, do it by hanging out with all different types of people. Do not be confined to your friend group, instead, reach out to girls you never thought you would grow close to. My best memories within the chapter have been getting to know the girls around me. The friends I have made within this chapter have helped me grow into the woman I never thought I would be. They helped me identify my strengths and weaknesses, and helped improve my perspective on life.

I encourage all of you to reach your full potential and slate for officer positions. I have loved my time serving on committees and serving as an officer in the chapter. Whether it is a small or a large position, you will have an amazing time learning about the chapter and helping others have a great sorority experience.

I hope you know that this chapter does amazing things. It has the ability to change people for the better. I have never been more confident and happier than I have been in this sorority. It pushes you to be your very best, and challenges you to reach all of your goals, no matter how crazy they may seem in your head.

To my younger members, be the best members you can be. Don't be afraid of the hard times, because they just make you stronger. Don't hesitate to talk to us older members and ask us for our advice. We are here for you, and we can't wait to see what amazing things you do within the chapter.

Love,

Your 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.
