What Is Sisterhood?

You cannot see sisterhood, but you can only feel it.

What Is Sisterhood?
Bri Leifker

I joined my sorority a little over 2 years ago. Over the 2 years I have strived to put a definition on Sisterhood. My definition has changed a million times over my time in my sorority.

I've learned that sisterhood is not about candid laughing pictures

Sisterhood is about who you are laughing with and what you are laughing about.

I have learned that sisterhood is a never ending support system even when you need to take a moment at a semi-formal to cry

Sisterhood is about giving your sisters tough love when they need it and knowing when to be a shoulder to cry on.

Sisterhood is about being able to share what is bothering you in life and knowing that you have sisters that will pray for you.

Sisterhood is unconditional love and support.


Sisterhood is find your home away from home, your 12 am Insomnia Cookies friend, and finding someone to laugh with late at night.


Sisterhood is not about the mixers you go to, the 'friend group' you hangout within your organization, or the spirit weeks you compete in. Sisterhood is not something that you can see. Sisterhood is something that you feel. Sisterhood is about being united. Sisterhood is knowing what you share together is special. Sisterhood is knowing that you have over 150 girls wanting to see you succeed. Sisterhood is knowing that others are looking out for your well-being at all times. Sisterhood is about putting everything aside and being there to pick up the pieces when a sister needs it. Sisterhood is getting that feeling in your gut that you need to see how a sister is doing. Sisterhood is caring so deeply for someone because you are bound by so many secrets and an oath. Sisterhood is never letting anyone walk alone. Sisterhood is so unique, sisterhood is so amazing, and I could not imagine a life without my sisterhood.

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.
