1) Describe GSS and what the members mean to you?

GAMMA SIGMA SIGMA by brief definition is a sorority based on the key principals of Service, Friendship, and Equality. But in reality GSS is so much more than that, they are a group of young, vibrant, sweet, strong willed individuals that take time out of there life to not only make UMD a better place to be but to make the whole city of Duluth that. They are wonderful girls that treat others with the up most respect and are always there for you to lend a helping hand. I can honestly say that the gamma sigma sigma girls mean the world to me. I think of all of you as my best friends that I can share all my turmoil’s and success, thoughts and feelings, and just whatever is on my mind with. I can’t see what my college life would be like without having you there.

2) Why would you be a good GSS Sweetheart?

Fist off I would just like to say that I feel incredibly honored that you girls thought highly enough of me to be your sweet heart nominee, this is such a privilege and I feel like this gives me a chance to be apart of something great. I think I could be a good sweet heart because I feel I have really put myself out there and gotten to know you girls pretty well over the past two years of my college life and I believe that I could be a good sweet heart for the sorority because I would attend as many service projects as possible and I would try my hardest to make all the social gatherings that you girls do. I also would like to be sweet heart because the girls of GSS mean a lot to me and I would be really proud to represent them.

3) What types of service/community involvement are you currently associated with?

I am involved with many of the same activities that the GSS girls are a part of. Last year I had over 100 hours of community service and was recognized by the Labovitz School of Business and economics. This year I am working on that same goal if not trying to surpass it. projects that I currently done have been helping out with such events as CP dance, Buddy Walk, YMCA Christmas Dinner, Soup Bowl, Safe Walk, and many more. In addition to helping out in volunteer events I also help out on campus by doing Safe Walks and table times with my fraternity, I also co-organized the event Dry Wednesday that my fraternity held last year.

4) How do you intend to uphold the ideals of service, friendship, and equality?

I will try to uphold the ideals of the GAMMA SIGMA SIGMA’s to the best of my ability by attending as many service events as possible and not just with my fraternity but with yours as well. As for friendship I will also keep on being your girl’s friend no matter what happens and hopefully you will be mine too. As for equality, well, I don’t know if I could start like a social movement or anything but I will definitely treat all the Sig girls with the same amount of respect that they treat me.


Additional Comments:

I just want to let you girls know that all of you mean a lot to me and I will respect your decision no matter what it may be. I also want to let you know that all of the GSS sweet heart nominees this year are really good guys and that any they are all deserving of the title. You girls are the best and I have had some of my best memories with you girls and I look foreword to more memories into the future.
