Sister's Keeper

One thing Converse College loves more than empowering women is traditions. I mean, honestly, if there is a season or a reason we have a tradition for it. One of my favorite traditions is Big Sis/Lil Sis. Because we are an all women's college we don't have traditional sororities like many universities. However, students noticed that the most beneficial aspect of participating in a university is the bond of sisterhood. So we created a stronger bond of sisterhood by having Big Sis/Lil Sis. Every freshman gets a big sister in the junior class that for a whole week in September surprises them with gifts and clues. The week ends with a huge reveal and an everlasting friendship. And in two months I will follow the legacy of adopting three freshmen as my little sisters. 


Big Sis, me, and Twin

Besides having a Big Sis who knows the ropes of being a music education major I found two amazing roommates, one of which continues to be my roommate. The ladies I have met at Converse undertake the meaning of being their "sister's keeper." Regardless of relationship with someone in need it is important for women to help each other especially as we continue to face prejudice throughout the world.
