Welcome to Sisterhood Redefined. As a group of college age sorority girls, we strive to bring you quality content and informative news on all aspects of college and sorority life.
A Little History
In early July 2014, a group of sorority bloggers decided that they really wanted to write about the lifestyle of sorority women on campuses all around the country with sorority women on all campuses all around the country. In a group conversation, within a matter of hours, the idea of Sisterhood Redefined was born. Our four leaders stepped up and worked endlessly to bring this blog together in less than a month from our own computers nowhere near each other. On August 1, 2014, Sisterhood Redefined launched thanks to the hard work of all our contributors.
What To Expect
We want to bring you content that embodies the people we have become through our sororities. As sorority women, we are leaders, fashionistas, philanthropists, business women, bigs, little, friends but most importantly sisters. We wanted to work with the Greek community to break down stereotypes of sorority women, thus redefining sisterhood for what it truly is - a group of ladies that love and support each other through any of life's challenges. From our content you will read advice on recruitment to fashion to how to change a tire. We hope you enjoy everything you read!
Writers of Sisterhood Redefined:
Brittany Yopp
Nikki is a Sophomore at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro where she pursues a degree in English while working on prerequisites for Physical Therapy. She hopes to join the military one day to serve our wounded soldiers and help them perform daily tasks through physical therapy. Nikki loves working with animals and hopes to be able to foster puppies in the next few years! She is a sister of Sigma Sigma Sigma. Her favorite aspect of being a sorority woman is recruitment because she loves knowing that women are finding their home in Greek Life! Whenever Nikki has free time she's usually practicing yoga or reading a good book to escape from everyday stresses.
Cara is a senior at the University of Michigan-Dearborn where she is a member of Phi Mu Fraternity. Having recently finished her term as Vice President, she spends her newly-found free time working toward publishing her first novel and writing her history senior thesis. A fan of music festivals, Qdoba, and all things Lilly Pulitzer, one of her favorite parts of Greek Life is dancing with her sisters in the Mock Rock competition at the end of Greek Week (five-peat champs!). Cara is also known to be the mushiest, most sentimental member of her chapter, earning herself the nickname "Cry Phi". And yes, she sobbed at the end of "Tangled".
Christina is a 20 year old living in Southern California. She is a third year English major at University of California, Riverside and a proud member of [retracted for Rho Gamma]. She spends her time staying involved with Habitat for Humanity and Alpha Lambda Delta Honors Fraternity. In her free time she enjoys reading, netflix, chocolate, make up, and doing anything with her three littles. She has been to concerts every year for five years! Fun fact: She touched the lead singers of Bastille's hand and arm and it was magical. After college, she hopes to work for a publishing company and end up as an editor.
Melissa Marlin
Melissa a senior at the University of Puget Sound in Tacoma, WA. But more importantly she is a member of the Delta Iota Chapter of Kappa Alpha Theta! When she isn't watching Dance Moms with her sisters in the living room or going on Michael's binges during Big Appreciation Week, you can find her on the water with her rowing team. Between sorority life, rowing, and studying for her math and economics double major it's a wonder she gets any sleep...and most of the time she doesn't get nearly enough. She is so excited to be a part of Sisterhood Redefined, even if it will cut into her precious sleep time.

Kendall is a sophomore at California State University Chico studying Public Relations Journalism with an emphasis in Gender and Sexuality Studies. She keeps herself busy by representing her beautiful sisters in Alpha Gamma Delta on the Panhellenic Council as the VP of Community Service and Philanthropy. Be warned, she will clog your feed with hashtags and shared links bandwagoning every societal issue. Real Housewife memes tend to explain her emotions best while texting. She is a strong believer in the accuracy of buzzfeed in relation to her life and her following to follower ratios on social media. So make sure to follower her on Instagram (thats_so_kendall) then her Pinterest and Twitter (kendall_rose_).
Lauren is a recent graduate of University of Minnesota-Twin Cities where she studied Advertising in the School of Journalism and Mass Communication. She is a devoted member of Delta Chapter of Alpha Gamma Delta, where she has served as Technology Coordinator. She currently resides in the Great Kingdom of Cheese, a.k.a. Milwaukee, Wisconsin. (PACKER FANS REPRESENT) In her spare time, she enjoys graphic design, playing with cats, and going on whirlwind adventures with her ragtag team of diabolical accomplices. FUN FACTS: Lauren once wrote a stage play that was performed by real actors, she has rappelled upside-down off the top of a tall tower, and she can speak Spanish with a Russian accent. Writing is one of Lauren’s greatest talents and hobbies, so she is excited to share her love of sorority life with Panhel sisters across the globe. She hopes to help foster a spirit of sisterhood across all Panhellenic sororities and promote Greek life among non-members to encourage recruitment.

Beth Jenkins // Co-Founder
Beth is a sophomore transfer at Georgia Southern University. She spends her time split between the biology and psychology departments as she pursues her undergrad degree in both subjects. She spends her free time working and volunteering with children with special needs. She has learned the importance of philanthropy through her sorority, Alpha Gamma Delta, in which she now holds alumnae status. When Beth has free time she likes to practice yoga or work on jewelry projects for her business A Southern Memory. You can often find her wandering aimlessly through the rows of Hobby Lobby or scouring Pinterest (@wanderinforever) searching for project ideas.
Sonia is a junior at Georgia Southern University where she studies Marketing, Economics and Spanish. She is a social media junkie so follow her on Twitter and Pinterest (@soniawade623) for constant entertainment. Sonia woks hard to do a little bit of everything in her sorority, Delta Phi Epsilon so is always a little busy and really uses music as her outlet - her tastes are quite eccentric though. If you don't see her with paint on her legs (she loves painting coolers) or coffee in her hands (she's surpassed the Starbucks Gold Membership and has a Starbucks black card), alert the media!
