To Each Of My New Sorority Sisters

Dear beautiful/smart/perfect sisters,

So, I ran home not even a month ago, but I have never felt more welcomed to anything in my life. I've had sisters text me, message me via Facebook, comment on insta pics, and come up to me in person even if I haven't had the opportunity to meet me yet- and tell me how happy they are that I rushed AOΠ. Having a countless amount of people tell you that they wanted to you to be a part of their sisterhood, when you've never felt like a part of a group, makes you feel overjoyed. I've felt such an outpouring of love, like I've never felt before. Each of you are such awesome people, I am so happy to call you my sister.

Going back to class is rough. Not going to lie about that. But having sisters check up on me, support me, laying in my bed to watch Netflix when I was stressed, helping me through some tough decisions (like changing my major), and be there for me while I've been sick- has made it so much easier. Plus, one of my sisters has become my best friend. We had a new member social, just a few days back, and we all got together for ice cream. Walking into a room with girls that are so happy that your there, even for just the most simple of things, has to be the best feeling.

My sisters barely know me yet, and they're looking out for me and making sure I feel at home. I've had sisters listen to me talk about the tough times as I've had when I was little and all they do is sit and listen to me and make me feel heard. I've talked about times in my life that were so difficult to talk about and they listen with open hearts and minds. I have sisters from all over and from all different backgrounds and we all come together to make this blanket of love that surrounds each and every one of us. To me, that's what makes my sisterhood, the best around.

From sitting together for lunch to get to know each other all the way to being there for me when I miss my family, you guys(gals) are the best. You've created such a great support system and an amazing sorority that I am so proud to be a part of. You people make up what a sorority should be like.

ALAM,

Happiest new member

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.
