Sisterhood:What Does It Mean?

[mulattogyrl]

Yay I can post now

What does sisterhood in DST (or AKA, Z Phi B, SGRho or other sorority) mean to you?
To me, it means that no matter where I go I have sisters. It's a bond that lasts a lifetime. It's something that's understood without saying a word. It's a connection deeper than words. It's a full, deep history. It's courageous, strong, beautiful women making a difference.

Why is sisterhood important to you?
Sisterhood is important to me because you always have someone to turn to, no matter how important or trivial the situation. Women can have such a special bond when they aren't being catty toward one another.

What type of activities can foster and nurture sisterhood?
I also think social events and committees can foster sisterhood. I also think just plain communication can nurture sisterhood. Sometimes just to call someone you haven't spoken to in a long time, or reaching out for someone's birthday, etc. can create a bond. It's little things that count a lot of times.

Do we display unconditional sisterly love among our sorors? Explain.
Overall, I would say no, but we should. It's easier said than done because I think we get caught up in a lot of unnecessary things that cause us to turn against each other without realizing it. I think unconditional love is a conscious effort; it's something you have to choose to do and practice.

Have your expectations of what it means to be a Delta (or other sorority) been met?
Delta has gone beyond my expectations. I don't even remember what my expectations were. I didn't know what I was stepping into; we never do until we're there. There's just so much to absorb, so much love, so much to learn. Just like anything, there are good and bad times, but I appreciate both. Yes I appreciate the bad times as well because I learned from them. Again, it's not always something that can be put into words, it's just a special feeling to belong to such a great Sisterhood.

One of the biggest lessons I've learned is that sisterhood is an effort, an action. You have to put forth sisterhood in order for it to be returned.
