Laila Zommers: Sisterhood

     Hello! My name is Laila Zommers and I’m from Seattle, WA. I’m double majoring in Accounting and Business Administration (with a Finance concentration). I am the oldest of 3, and my younger sister (17) and younger brother (15) are my best friends! Joining Setons this year has truly been one of the best decisions I have EVER made. Outside of Setons, I am an active member in the Gonzaga Women in Business club. I love to cook, go on runs, hang out with friends, shop, and explore the Spokane coffee scene.                                            Out of our three pillars, I have resonated the most with Sisterhood as it’s the backbone of everything we do in Setons. Leadership and service could not thrive the same without it. Finding a group of like-minded women has been super beneficial in my college experience and my growth into the young woman I am today.

Katie Newman- Retreat

Hello!

My name is Katie Newman! I am one of the two Social Chairs for Setons this year and I was blessed to have been able plan a retreat at Ross Point with Brittany this semester. This retreat was so much greater than either one of us could have ever planned. This retreat included everything from smores to sleeping on the floor with 30 girls with one blanket each (we forgot to bring bedding, oops). Nonetheless, it brought me much closer to all of my sisters. Setons has brought so many amazing girls into my life and I did not truly realize how blessed I was until after this retreat. Each girl on setons brings so much joy and light into my life. From playing a big game of musical chairs to creating a dance with 4 other sisters, I have never smiled or laughed as hard as I did on that Friday night.
Our retreat was the weekend before Thanksgiving break and it could not have fallen on a more perfect weekend. It really got me in the spirit and made me think of how thankful I am. Setons has provided me so many opportunities to grow as a person, from weekly and monthly service, to having a leadership position, to random social events. Our weekly service consists of playing LEGOS on Tuesdays with people from the Arc! This weekly event has brought so much joy into my life. Making new connections with a population in need while getting closer to my 4 other sisters every week. Setons has provided me with the sanity that I need during this crazy year of school. I wouldn’t have been able to get through this semester without the girls on setons. I am SO sad that I only have one more semester seeing these amazing girls at weekly meetings and service!
