Mary Maidment: Service

Hi! My name is Mary Maidment and I am from Portland, Oregon. I am studying neuroscience with a minor in psychology on the pre-med track. On campus, I work as an events assistant and as an Ambassador, frequently giving tours. When I have free time, I love to be outside hiking, shopping, intramural sports, workout classes, and spending time with friends. This year, my team won our softball and volleyball intramural championships!! I have been busy watching the new Secret Lives of Mormon Wives season and just finished Scandal. What drew me to Setons was the Service pillar. Since I was young, my family has made an effort to be actively involved in different forms of service in our community. We spent time at our church, local food bank, community garden, and my favorite was making clothing bags for children in need. I loved picking outfits and giving toys, games, and other activities.

Hannah Van Hollebeke- Sisterhood

Hello! My name is Hannah Van Hollebeke! Today, I wanted to breakdown my favorite pillar of Setons - sisterhood. In my opinion, sisterhood is the base of what we do, and we couldn’t succeed as much as we do without it. Sisterhood strengthens all 30 girls as a group on campus and through service.

Everyday, I can confidently say that I have 29 others girls who have my back. Twenty nine girls who know what I am going through on a daily basis. Twenty nine girls who remember about certain events in my life and remember to ask me about them. Twenty nine girls who genuinely love me and would most certainly drop anything to be right by my side. It is a loving and fulfilling feeling I feel everyday walking around campus knowing I have the chance to call 29 other girls my sisters.

Through sisterhood, we are able to carry out service to the best of our abilities. We are required to work as a team with service. I am on Tuesday service and we prepare the meal for the week at “Blessings Under the Bridge”. We work as a team to efficiently get the meal prepared. We work in close quarters, so it is important to have that teamwork aspect. It makes service so life-giving working next to my sisters and serving so many people. Tuesday service becomes a highlight of my week knowing I can spend that time with my sisters and serve the community.

Setons wouldn’t be the same without the sisterhood pillar. The 29 other girls have made such a positive impact on my life and I am proud to call myself a Seton.
