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.

Emmy Duong: Sisterhood

    Hi! My name is Emmy Duong and I’m from the beautiful Portland, Oregon. I’m majoring in psychology, minoring in dance, and am on track to get my elementary education certification. I’m hoping to become an elementary school teacher! My family consists of my mom, dad, sister (Katie), and cutie dog (Charlie). Outside of Setons, I love to participate in intramural sports and dance at Gonzaga. Before college, I did competitive dance! I also enjoy doing almost anything with my friends: going on drives, shopping, hiking, playing board games, etc. My current comfort movies are Soul Surfer and Anyone but You. Listening to music is one of my favorite things ever, especially Taylor Swift. Setons has been the best part of my sophomore year and I have made the loveliest friends because of Setons. 

    Being a member of Setons this year has taught me the power of sisterhood in so many ways. I have experienced sisterhood through each sister date I’ve been on, getting to spend intentional, individual time with my sisters. I have experienced sisterhood through the weekly meetings, showing up for each other each Wednesday at 9pm in college hall 325. Even when the meetings run long, they are still almost always my favorite part of the week. I have experienced sisterhood on the car rides to service, we are always singing, talking, or laughing. I have experienced sisterhood through meaningful service experiences shared with my sisters. I have experienced sisterhood through the monthly socials doing fun activities with my fun sisters, retreat especially comes to mind. I have experienced sisterhood through the web kindness, hearing each sister lift another sister up. I have experienced sisterhood through the hugs, waives, and smiles I’ve received when passing by my sisters around campus. To any of my sisters reading this, thank you for teaching me kindness, strength, and love through each of my interactions with you. I truly consider each of my sisters a dear friend, Setons are forever, Setons are the best!!!
