Sophie Kuhn- Sisterhood

Hi! My name is Sophie Kuhn and I originally am from Bellevue, Washington. I am

majoring in mathematics, and earning my secondary education certificate, in hopes of being a

middle school or high school math teacher. I am also co-chair of the Charity Ball this year in

Setons. I have absolutely loved my time in Setons, and looking back on this year, I couldn’t

imagine it without the sisterhood, friendships, and service I have experienced. I feel like I

personally have grown a lot over this last year, and this organization has allowed me to meet a

completely new part of campus. This has been more than a club for me, as it has continuously

led me to step outside my comfort zone, try new things, and serve the Spokane community

around me.

One aspect of Setons that I am so grateful for is the sisterhood aspect. During Freshman

year I felt trapped on campus, and I didn’t feel like I knew many people outside of my dorm and

classes. Being in education, my classes consisted of the same people, whom I love, but I was

craving meeting more people. Now in Setons, I am more than confident in saying that I

wouldn’t have gotten to know most of the girls in this organization if we had not been led to

serve together this year. One of my favorite things we do is our weekly Wednesday night

meetings. Gathering together, no matter how stressed or busy our week is, this is a time of

relief and a time to catch up with everyone. I love the time in the meeting when we do sister

shoutouts, which is where we call out girls giving them praise for something they did for one of

us during the previous week. Usually after our meetings we all stay and chat and share a few

laughs, which always makes my week. I also enjoy our sister dates, where we get assigned

another Seton to grab a coffee or meal with during the week. This one-on-one time has allowed

me to get to know so many girls on a deeper level and learn something I might not otherwise

know. This kind of sisterhood is very unique, and I feel very blessed in the sense that I will

always be able to cherish this in the coming years and beyond.

I have also enjoyed our monthly social events that have allowed us to bond as a larger

group. Some of the standout events to me have been our trip to Green Bluff, our Christmas

party, our Retreat, and our trip downtown for ice skating and shopping. No matter what the

event is, we always manage to have a good time, and I always leave with a full heart. Shout out

to our Social Chairs Sam & Lucy!!!

The time in Setons has been going by fast, and I keep wishing time would slow down so I

could cherish this special time just a little bit longer. Although our sophomore year is starting to

wind down, we will always be a part of this amazing organization and I look forward to seeing

the future generations of Setons continue this unconditional sisterhood, leadership, and

service.
