I came to the city this weekend to spend time with family and get away from Ithaca before graduate school starts. Being here has been absolutely amazing! On Saturday, I went to the Alpha Mu Chapter Picnic and had the time of my life. I saw Hermanas I hadn't seen in a while and met many new Hermanas, and older Hermanas for the very first time. It was great to see how our sisterhood is really truly HASTA LA MUERTE since there were Hermanas there that had pledged 15 years ago and ones that had just been initatied this year. It's amazing to see the tight bond that we have and how we can relate to each other and be invovled in our Hermandad, no matter what age or stage in life.
There were many other Greek organizations hosting picnics and barbeques at the park and it was really cool interacting with them. I met some Hermanos of La Unidad Latina, Lambda Upsilon Lambda from various schools in upstate New York and New Jersey. It was really great to see how Latino organizations bond and unite to make each other stronger and support one another in our goals.
The ABSOLUTE BEST part of the day was when I met young women who were a part of Sigma Lambda Upsilon's Sigma Lambda LADYS (Sigma Lambda for the Leadership and Development of Our Young Sisters) program, a mentorship program for high school women. Two of the young women were graduating high school and received their Sigma Lambda LADYS Book Scholarship, which they will use to purchase textbooks for college. It is great to see these young women excelling and getting accepted to the colleges and universities of their choice. It truly was a PROUD moment for all the Hermanas and the Sigma Lambda LADYS.
Before I go, I just want to give a huge shout to Alpha Mu Chapter at SUNY New Paltz for putting the picnic together. These women are so smart, intelligent, talented, personable and really care about the community they serve.
All in all, a SCINTILLATING DAY!!!! Rrrraaaahhhh!!!!
