Every woman deserves a sorority*

(not the sorority you’re used to…)

sororities were created to help women feel less alone

Sororities were created in a time when women were not welcome on a college campus. Sorority founders got in a room together and said, “ya know, this kind of sucks. We should do it together, yea?” Everyone else said “YEP!” Magic wands were raised, cauldrons were stirred, and Ritual was created.

Sororities were built because women. need. women. That was true then, and is true now. Being a woman in college is HARD. Between educational expectations, leadership positions, campus involvement, internships, relationships, friendships, family, and ya know, balancing the weight of society’s expectations of us, it’s hard to believe we make it through each week. That’s where other women come in. Sorority, when done right, can be a magical experience every woman deserves: a sisterhood.

And yet, sororities are not currently living up to their full potential. Let’s call it what it is: they never really did. A real, true, powerful sorority is inclusive of all women. A real sisterhood cares not about your background, bank account, or social status—they care only for you. Sorority done right accepts all women. And I think we can get there.

We are far more empowered together than we can ever be alone. Together we can become better friends, better sisters, and better women. Together we can redefine what it means to be in a group of women. And together we can create a sorority experience that every woman wants and deserves.

I’m on a mission to help women feel less alone in the world. Who’s with me?

SPEAKING TOPICS

SISTERHOOD MATTERS

Women need each other. Desperately. We need to empower the goodness and value in one another, and we need one another if for no other reason than we understand parts of womanhood that no one else can. Whether it be through a sorority or another women’s organization, coming together with other women to simply love one another has the potential to change our worlds—to make us better friends, better sisters, and ultimately, better women. But we have to choose. Choose to invest in and be bettered by each other.

Creating Confidence

Confidence has long been an expectation of women. And because we’re just supposed to have it, we often speak about it as if it is easy: “Just be confident!” It doesn’t work that way! With the pressures put on us as women in college—class, work, volunteering, studying, trying to stay healthy—how could we possibly, simply “be confident”? Confidence is a journey, a long and at times treacherous hike. One with hills, valleys, twists, turns, and no map. While it’s not easy, finding authentic confidence is possible—if we work as a team.

Enhancing Positive Body Image

Women are made to feel like their bodies are never good enough. The billion-dollar diet industry exists to make women feel like garbage about themselves for having a cookie. Women’s bodies are talked about more than the women who live in them. And we know that that is incredibly unfair and unhealthy, especially for young women. Women deserve to look in the mirror and not feel like shit about themselves. And to learn real, practical ways to talk to each other about our bodies.

Understanding Feminism

This is often a dirty word in our culture. It’s been twisted to mean hating men, being angry, even hating other women. I couldn’t disagree more. Sororities were founded to be feminist organizations, granted not nearly as inclusive or intersectional as feminism is meant to be. As the most privileged, educated, affluent women in the world, we have a responsibility to engage in these conversations. It’s time for sorority women to stop tip-toeing around this “f word,” and to start dropping the F Bomb.
