An Open Letter To My Sorority

Dear Sorority,

Thank you for being one of the best things to ever happen to me during my college years. You brought me happiness when being at our school wasn't. The first year of college was a bumpy ride for me as a commuter and not knowing anyone, but my second year brought me to you and I am forever grateful for that.

Thank you for helping me break out of my shell. I'm not as shy and quiet as I used to be (even though I'll always have that trait). Speaking in front of the chapter taught me that it's okay to be nervous and with time, fear of public speaking will become a thing of the past.

Thank you for allowing me to hold a position that has helped me gain leadership skills and responsibility. Coordinating events and philanthropy dates were not easy tasks, but having you all help me made my job so much easier. Thank you for volunteering your time to help with set-ups and break-downs, especially the night of Relay for Life when we stayed up until 3am (boy, were we tired!).

Thank you for all the fun sisterhood/social events and photoshoots. I love looking back on all of our pictures and thinking, "I'm so happy to be a part of this sisterhood." Our formals are always unforgettable nights along with our trips to Skyzone, bowling, and other places.

Thank you for each being individual and unique. It makes our sisterhood that much stronger when we can all incorporate our different opinions and mindsets into something great. Although we are females and it's in our nature to not all get along sometimes, I know that I can count on each and every one of you if I ever needed something. Let us never forget that no one is perfect and not be quick to judge or assume what's going on in each other's lives. Catfights and disagreements are always part of any female friend group, but we're strong enough to overcome them.

Thank you for being my home away from home and for loving me. Each of you are always my favorite smile to see around campus. I'm beyond blessed to be a part of this sisterhood that will last a lifetime.

Love & Loyally,

A proud 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.
