It still sometimes hard to believe that I graduated from
college over a year and a half ago, in many ways if feels just yesterday and in
other ways it feels like a lifetime ago.
Granted, I was at
Pace University and extra year perusing my masters’ degree in Media
Communications Arts, but I was also a graduate assistant in the Greek Life
office and thus could not be active.
When I was a graduated assistant, my main goal was to not
only do a good job but to also ensure that it never appeared that I was playing
favorites, specifically with my chapter. Luckily, there were two people in my
position. Will, my PIC (partner in
crime) was also Greek while he was on campus. Thus, I guess it was easy for the
Assistant Director of Greek Life to have us work with different councils than
we were apart of. This means I worked
with cultural organizations and Will worked with social organizations.
Though I was unable to be active, I did see my sisters
often, in the office, in the cafeteria, at events and when I was free to hang
out. It was always nice to spend time
with them and catch up.
This past weekend I went back to Pace to see my sisters at
one of their events. Even now, when I am not on campus, I never feel weird
about seeing them. It is never awkward; it is always like picking up where I
left off. To me, that proves the power of sisterhood.
So in reflection, the power if sisterhood lies in the
relationships you build while you are there. Yes, your chapter will be
constantly evolving but so long as you foster relationships long after your
graduation year, you will always feel apart of your organization forever.
Remember: The faces may change but the memories off how everyone connects.
