Sister Spotlight: Margot and Kathryn Clary

Margot and Kathryn, from left to right

Our post for you today truly is one of my favorites so far! It is written by sophomore Margot Clary on behalf of her and her sister Kathryn. Kathryn and Margot are not only sisters in Tri Delta, but biological sisters as well. Last fall, when we found out Margot was coming through recruitment we were all so excited to potentially have another Clary. Today, they are both assets to our chapter and we are lucky to have such an amazing pair of women. Enjoy!

"For the first eighteen years of my life, sisterhood has meant only the biological bond between two girls who were conceived by the same parents. My understanding of sisterhood was that when I was too scared to order my meal at Chilis, my sister would be sitting next to me with an open ear to which I could whisper, only for her to translate my order to the waitress. When there was a boy teasing me in my 7th grade English class, my sister was right down the hall to come “straighten things out” when needed, which she did. When I couldn’t decide between two dresses at the mall (which I never could), there would be my sister, making a “pros and cons” list in the middle of the dressing room for me. 

Over the past year, however, my sister Kathryn has contributed not only the above but much, much more to my journey through college and becoming a young adult. While I am extremely thankful for having such an empowering, loyal biological sister, I am lucky enough to call Kathryn my sister in Tri Delta as well. Biological sisters are bonded by blood, yes, but Tri Delta has brought Kathryn and I closer than I ever thought possible by providing us with not only new bonding opportunities, but new perspectives about each other as well. For the entirety of my senior year of high school, (then, her Freshman year of college and first year in Tri Delta) Kathryn would call me almost every day telling me of the many adventures she experienced while being in Tri Delta and in turn, my interest in Greek Life grew exponentially. Come August, I could not wait to move to USC and experience Greek Life purely because of Kathryn’s involvement. For all the orders Kathryn has placed for me and all the dress-decisions she has helped me make, Tri Delta is the most significant and notable choice in which my sister has assisted, and I am honored to stand beside her in all types of sisterhood."
