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.)

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
