Sydnee Price: Sisterhood

Hi, my name is Sydnee Price, and I am from Sequim, Washington—a small town on the Olympic Peninsula. I am a Business Administration major with a concentration in marketing and a minor in Spanish. My favorite things in life are my dog (aka the light of my life), Harry Styles, reading, baking, a nice color scheme, and picnics! I have an older sister who is a Gonzaga alumnus (sko zags!) and a kindergarten teacher: I enjoy hanging out with her students and puppysitting her new wiener dog, Enzo!

Out of the three pillars, I decided to focus on Sisterhood because this concept is one of the first things that attracted me to Setons. To young women, sisterhood is as vital as breathing: it’s the impromptu dance parties, the randomly getting dressed up, the rom-com nights, and the comfort and safety we find in each other. It’s why we can find excitement in the boring and laughter even while in the depths of despair.

As a freshman, making friends is very intimidating and oftentimes seems impossible—however, I found myself a friend group who values each other and the concept of sisterhood during the tumultuous time that is college. Though there was still this understanding that I had to go out and meet people who didn’t all live in the same hallway as me. So, when I passed by the Setons club fair booth that year and noticed how much they emphasized sisterhood and connections—well, it left a lasting impact that led to me applying that Spring. Through our socials and sister dates, I have found that the previous group of girls were not lying: Setons is where you can find your community and thrive in the comfort of knowing you have thirty new friends.
