What does sisterhood mean to you? What can you do to keep the sisterhood strong in your sorority?
The word sisterhood is essential to any sorority’s vocabulary. It encourages camaraderie, honesty, and trust. It is important to have a special bond flourish. One of the best ways to keep your sisters close is through fun and unique sister hood events!
State Parks and attractions: A great way to bond with your sisters is to explore nature and observe your surroundings. Go to a state park and go hiking or have a picnic. Every year my sorority walks the Walkway Bridge over the Hudson. It is a fun way to absorb what the areas near your university offer.

T-Shirt Making: Whether it is for an event or just for fun, t-shirt making sparks creativity in all your sisters. You get to learn everyone’s styles and who the artists really are. Just grab a permanent marker, fabric paint, or some spray paint, and you are good to go! Remember, CL is having a Bid Day shirt contest September 15!
Frame or Bracelet Making: Along with T-shirt making, find other objects that you can create! Arts and crafts are fun for any ages. Frames are a good way to capture your favorite sisterhood moments. Have a picture day around campus with all different poses in order to fill up the frames! Bracelets are also a nice way to keep a symbol of your sorority with you at all times.
Sports event: Grab your sisters and cheer for your favorite local team! It allows the ladies to dress up in their team’s colors and show their sporty sides.
Gym/Fitness classes: Sometimes you need extra support while working out, and who better to support you than your sisters? Sign up for a class together, such as Zumba, kickboxing, or a cardio boot camp, and get in shape! Joining a self-defense class is also a good way to show your strength and confidence in women.
Movie/Pizza Night: Watch a movie about women empowerment and sisterhood. Some good movies to watch are Legally Blonde, A League of their Own, Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, Charlie’s Angels, and Funny Girl. Even better, make it a pajama party.
Laser Tag: Bring out your competitive side! Split up into teams and get dressed up in all black. Even smudge some black paint onto your face. Laser tag isn’t just for kids.
Scavenger Hunt: Make your list full of facts about your sisters, your college, and your sorority. It will be a fun event that also involves learning about each other. To get all the sisters pumped, have the teams dress up in their colors and have a most spirited team award.
Theme park/amusement park/water park: When the weather is nice, take a bus ride with your sisters to a local amusement park. Everyone will have a blast going on rides and playing games together!
Philanthropy: One of the main aspects of a sorority. Volunteering is beneficial to the community and helps you and your sisters feel good about yourselves. Kappa Kappa Gamma’s national philanthropy is Reading is Fundamental. Along with your national philanthropy, think of other ways to give back to the community. Hold a book or a blood drive. Volunteer at a local food or animal shelter. Create a walk or a run as a fundraiser. Find a cause that everyone finds important and do something to help it.
Sisterhood is the core to any sorority. Making it stronger with fun and meaningful events will also make you and your sorority stronger.

[...] Be the change. Change can be good within a sorority. Hold onto your goals and values, but also make adjustments to be the best you can be. When a girl enters college, she hopes to develop and grow as an intellectual and a human being. Allow your sorority to do the same. Perhaps recruit in different ways, or allow more opportunities for discussion within your chapter. A good, informal, way to discuss change is through sisterhood events. [...]
