Elle Dunne: Sisterhood

Hey hey everyone! My name is Elle Dunne and I’m from Redondo Beach, CA! I am a political science major with an economics minor, and I hope to work in the government in some capacity when I’m older. Right now, I am our Setons Attorney General and I have been loving my position thus far! I have been riding horses since I was 9, and I absolutely love listening to Taylor Swift, watching the sunset, and hanging out with my friends. I am so incredibly excited for the rest of the year with my lovely Setons sisters!!

The pillar I chose to talk about is sisterhood. Sisterhood is extremely important to me, I have a younger sister named Lauren and we’re incredibly close. But beyond familiar sisterhood, I went to an all-girls high school where one of our pillars was also sisterhood. Through my time there, I realized how important it was to build a sisterhood of uplifting, inspiring, kind, and compassionate people around me as they became one of my biggest support systems. While I made some incredible friends my freshman year, I wanted to keep expanding my circle and Setons has given me the opportunity to do just that. On our first day, I was so nervous about meeting everyone, but I very quickly realized that I had nothing to worry about! My first sister date with Jenna was so sweet and fun, and I remember walking away feeling like maybe I had found my people and place. This feeling has continued to this day, I walk away from every meeting with such a big smile on my face even if I’ve had the worst day prior to that. I look forward to seeing and talking to everyone each week, whether it be a quick chat in Hemm or a longer sister date, and these moments have truly become the highlight of my year! The 29 lovely ladies I have had the opportunity to spend the year with have become just the sweetest, most compassionate, uplifting, and hilarious group of girls I have ever known. Being in Setons has been the most incredible experience and I am so so SO lucky to call these girls my sisters!
