True Meaning Behind Sisterhood

True Meaning Behind Sisterhood

Sisterhood is a bond of everlasting friendship and knowing you have your sisters there for you each day. Joining a sorority and going through recruitment, I was looking for that special sisterhood. Joining Delta Zeta has given me that sisterhood I always longed for. Since they were one of the smaller chapters on campus, I was a little skeptical, but I have learned to love the fact that we are smaller.

Since we are smaller, it has allowed me to get to know each and every one of my sisters rather well. I can proudly call  all the girls in my sorority, my sisters, because I have taken the time to get to know each and every one of them. I am closer to some, more than others, but I still make an effort to say to greet them while walking by on campus, or to invite them somewhere I think they would enjoy. 

If I put down in words how much I appreciate this sisterhood and love it, I would probably write an entire book. This is my second year in Delta Zeta, and I have already experienced so many life changing and heart warming moments that I am thankful for each day. 

Every girl has her own reasons for joining a sorority. During rush, when I asked girls what they looked for in a sorority, a lot of them said sisterhood. I feel like we use sisterhood in such a general way, and people forget what the true meaning is. Sure, you can join a sorority and have those 180 girls as your sisters, but what makes it a sisterhood is having those late night talks at 3 a.m., or having one of them drive you to the urgent care if you sprained your ankle. 

When I first became a Delta Zeta, I wasn’t sure if it was going to be the right fit for me, but I decided to give it a try and stay. As a new member, I quickly realized that I had something I had never experienced -- true sisterhood. These girls really care about each other and love each other. All my life, I wanted a place where I could feel loved and accepted for being 100 percent myself; joining Delta Zeta gave me that acceptance. I now know these are the girls who will be in my life for, not just my college years, but also after that. 

I encourage you to think about what sisterhood means to you, and spend more time on the sisterhood aspect of your sorority, rather than the social or philanthropy events. Sisterhood is a key part to the sorority and keeps it alive.

Epic Creation Myths: Norse Origins Unveiled

What happened in the beginning, and how the heavens were set in motion.

The Norse Creation Myth

Now, I have the everlasting joy of explaining the Norse creation myth. To be honest, it can be a bit kooky, so talking about it is always fun. The entire cosmos is included in this creation myth, not just the earth but the sun and the moon as well. This will be a short retelling, a summary of the creation myth, somewhat like I did with Hermod's ride to Hel.
