Sisterhood
 

Sorors and Sisterfriends,

I will soon be talking to a group of highschool ladies about sisterhood. So I was just curious what does sisterhood mean to you?

Sisterfriend,

I was at a loss of words so I turned to Google. I found two sites that may be inspiring.

First Soror, points to you for posting something that has Phil at a loss. lol.

Of course, sisterhood is about many things; here is one angle:

Being a big sister right now is about taking a step back and letting my little sister stumble and find her own way. I want to help, but I know that she wants and needs to do things her own way. So right now, a lot of what it means is being a cheerleader when she needs one and celebrating in her triumphs when they come.

There is a stories of sisterhood in the main forum, you might check that out too.

LOL I think it was because of the bolded. :o

You see I had to just take it from one angle. lol. She didn't ask for a dissertation. lol

This is such a broad question, it's kind of hard to answer. But this thread should help :)

First thing that comes to mind is trust. With my sorors and with my sister soror trust is the utmost important factor in out relationships.

This is a really great question! My mom has 3 daughters, but I have 5 sisters (3 of them are my closest girlfriends). A sister is someone who shares important life experiences with you. They may not even be important to you at the time but later in life, the memories mean everything. A sister is someone who you can trust with things that are important to you (informational or tangible things) and know that they are safe.

Thanks ladies for all the insight, I feel prepared for my presentation tomorrow and the direction I want to take it, since it is such a broad topic. I will let you know how it goes :)
Service to all mankind in action :0)

Good luck Soror and have fun. Let us know how it goes and I would be interested in hearing how you focused your presentation.

For me, sisterhood is first and foremost about self-love and respect.

If those things are not in place, you can not build a solid sisterhood. I think the thing that tears sisters and sorors apart is our own insecurities, doubts and anxieties which keep us from supporting our sisters.

Beyond self-love and respect, sisterhood is about supporting one another, offering a kind word or even constructive criticism, being open and honest with each other. For younger girls, this is more of a challenge because media (i.e. reality shows, music videos, some movies) openly promote hostility between women. The onslaught of the competitive, conniving woman willing to sacrafice her sisterhood for a man's attention is probably the biggest threat facing young women in developing both a positive self-esteem and strong bonds with other young women.

i loved this.:o

While I admire the supportive information from everyone to seek information on what Sisterhood personally means to each person, I think that this thread on the AKA Ave. on GC has run its course.

So, due to my moderator duties, I am locking it.

Anyone can do a search on this site and find whatever meaning they want from anyone's post.

Happy Discourse!
