Sisterhood is...

The Relationships One Can Find in a Sorority

Sisterhood is...
Lindsay Thomaston

Anytime someone asks a sorority woman to describe sorority life in one word - which happens surprisingly often - we all tend to say "sisterhood." But if you asks us what "sisterhood" is, you'll get a different answer from everyone you talk to. We all agree that sisterhood is unconditional support, love, and 2 a.m. Taco Bell, but we also have different relationships with each of our sisters.

Among my sisters, I have found a person that always pushes me to better myself. She calls me out when I'm slacking off and continuously pushes me toward new opportunities. Only good things come from us hanging out after 3 a.m. So far that list includes: organizing a brand new improv troupe, inquiring on how to host a national debate, and beginning an application for funding for undergraduate research.

I also have a sister that encourages me to try new things. She is constantly telling me to challenge my boundaries and get off campus - to go out into Atlanta and create new experiences. It is never a dull day when we're together. She also reminds me that it's okay to have a designated sleep-in day and go get ice-cream at all hours of the night.

All of my sisters know that they are more than welcome to charge into my room or blow up my phone with all of their good days or bad days. We can go months without talking and we will still be there for each other at the drop of a hat. I can honestly say that the relationships I have with my sorority sisters mirror the relationships between sisters that have lived together their entire lives. (Which is also a topic I consider myself a bit of an expert on given that I have five sisters.)

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.
