Who else has a love / hate relationship with social media? Spending as much time as we do scrolling, we can get so caught up in the aesthetic that we forget to posting on our own accounts with intention. We invited the sister behind @sororitysocialmedia, Lynne O'Dell, to share how her sorority journey motivated her to support current members in telling their sorority's authentic story! As her platform has not existed outside the pandemic, she has specific advice for you in how to post about your sisterhood in a virtual setting. Want a hint? It starts with having a virtual sisterhood experience to begin with! Can't wait for you to hear her story and don't forget to follow @sororitysocialmedia for more tips!

How many times have you felt misunderstood by a sister because of a leadership responsibility one of you held? It is so common for friendships to change when a sister gets elected into a sorority officer role. Julia Davis shares her leadership experience in her chapter not long ago and how she learned when to be a chapter president, a sister, and a friend. She has such great advice for current leaders about how to tune in to their needs and remember to prioritize self-care over people-pleasing. You will love her bright energy and might even recognize her voice from her positive TikToks about the leadership side of sorority!
