Sister of the Week: Stephanie

Stephanie and I on her birthday this year!

This week, I decided to post about one of my good friends, (and my neighbor) Stephanie!

When I first joined my sorority, I was a little bit afraid of Steph (affectionately called Bruma by many sisters)! Now, I can't even remember why. She is one of the most approachable people you will ever meet. Whenever I go over to her house, I find myself venting about my life, and she is always there to listen to me and provide advice.

Stephanie has been through a lot in her twenty one years. Yet, through it all, her spirit never wavers. She gets down at times, and it would be hard not to when you have been through so much, but she always bounces back from it. I was just spending some time with Stephanie this week, and while we were driving to dinner, I was wondering about the way that she must think. She's a deep thinker, always looking at the bigger picture. She sees right through many people and has this amazing ability to read others. Whenever I talk to her, I am reminded of how strong her empathy is; she knows what people are truly feeling despite what they may show on the surface. I can talk to her for hours about anything at all, and I feel like she is always able to pick up on how I really feel about a situation.

I like to think of myself as a spiritual person, and that is definitely a trait that I would associate with Steph. We can have deep, philosophical conversations, and it isn't weird at all. It's a basic part of our friendship. We're both a Taurus, and we're both "old souls", so I feel like we really understand each other.

Although she has many good traits, I would say that the one that stands out apart from the rest is her passion. When she truly loves something, she fights for it. She pours her heart into it and dedicates herself completely.  This is one of the reasons that Stephanie makes for such a great sister to have, she has given her heart to our sorority and will fight for it until the end!

Stephanie is overall just an amazing person, and an equally amazing sister to have!

Until next time,
