What is the greatest thing that you learned from being an Active Sister during your undergraduate career? "I know this is a cliche answer, but time management. Between work, school, family, friends and the Sorority things can get hectic. Learning how to balance things then has taught me how to balance things now. I'm no longer running in circles." What are some Words of Wisdom for our current active Sisters? "You have a voice, so use it. The Chapter doesn't run like a well oiled machine (even those have problems sometimes), but that's why your opinion, ideas, solutions, etc. matter. Never be afraid to speak up, but also remember speaking up doesn't always mean yelling up. Be tactful and everything else will follow." |

How has DPhiL helped you after you have graduated?
"I'm able to talk to anyone. When you join a Sorority, you're always around people. I went from being a shy girl to being an expert communicator. Also, it's a lot easier balancing my work and play now. I'm able to manage my days and get things done on time, while also giving myself time to have fun. I've learned to be a leader and to take advantage of every leadership opportunity. I'm more confident with the decisions I make, and I make sure to learn from every experience." What were some of your favorite/most memorable moments from your active undergraduate years? "I always had the best times when I would go on spontaneous food trips with my Sisters.

My favorite moments were always the least expected, and I enjoyed every second of it - the good and the bad - as a Sister. (But it usually involved food.)" Words of Wisdom for current active Sisters? "Always say yes. Take advantage of every single situation, and make the most of it. Learn from your experiences. Enjoy every second because time really does fly by.

I asked to sit in front of this random woman who looked like she was done eating. I sit down and she initiates small talk with me to recruit me for DPhiL. I wasn’t too sure about it at first because I never thought a Sorority would be a good fit for me, but after coming to recruitment and meeting all these friendly and strong women, I knew I wanted to be a Sister of DPhiL." |

I felt as though I could make deep connections with these women and could really see them as my Sisters. They gave me unconditional love and support when I was vulnerable.
