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.

Lauren Kensel: Sisterhood

Hey y’all! My name is Lauren (or Lolo!), and I am from Newport Beach, California. I’m studying Business with a minor in Leadership Studies, and I live with my best friend Aiva, who also happens to be a Seton. I have a little brother named Braden and a puppy named Holly, and I miss our adventures together when I am in Spokane. I am one of the Social Chairs of Setons alongside Miss Katie Jo, and I also serve as a CLC leader through Mission and Ministry with our lovely President Maddie. I adore iced coffee, sunshine, cowgirl boots, and flowers, and I am so grateful to be part of such a special community on campus.
The pillar I will be reflecting on is sisterhood. I am so incredibly appreciative for the community of women that Setons has introduced me to. I have become close to girls that I never would have met if it wasn’t for this club, and I know that this is a network that I will be able to connect to and lean on for years to come. Coming into the club, I was a little nervous about making new connections. I can be a little shy sometimes, and I was worried that I wouldn’t make any fast friends. Quickly, my fears diminished. I felt so comforted when my sister Paige helped me choreograph a dance for my ballet final, and so joyful when getting to walk and chat with Tara, Georgia, and Mairead from our Wednesday night class to our weekly Setons meeting. I became close to Natalie and Alexa at our first semester service, laughed with Keely as we set up for retreat, planned events with the amazing Katie Jo, and went on the loveliest coffee walk and sister date with my favorite cross-country queen Kate. The true sisterhood that we have cultivated in our class is what makes me excited to go to service, meetings, classes, and the COG (where I run into my favorite Seton baes), and I owe my amazing sophomore experience to all the lovely Seton ladies that I get to call my besties!
