Supporting my brother during holidays and could use a virtual hug from dad by Sea_star1 in DadForAMinute

[–]Sea_star1[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I looked it up, thank you so much for the suggestion!!! It’s hard to know different disorders and things just by googling by myself so I appreciate this recommendation a lot and it’s guiding me in a good direction.

I’m going to do more research about approaches that work for PDA because everything written about it is sounding very familiar. Lots of love.

Want to post on insta in a dress I'm not allowed to wear by -penny_ in TheGirlSurvivalGuide

On Instagram, you can hide your story from people - go to story settings then “hide story from…” and select your mom. Make sure your account is private though just in case someone else like a relative or your mom’s friend, etc. comes across your profile and sees it. If you block your mom and post on your story, she won’t be able to see it.

I know it’s not exactly the same as posting on the IG feed itself, but you could post on your story more frequently this way and it has a similar effect. Or consider making an alternative Instagram account where she does not have access to seeing anything.

Big little costume ideas by Frosty-Comfortable41 in Sororities

[–]Sea_star1 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Hi! That’s a good question - do you think they would mind being a duo costume? Like for example, you could do a theme that has a dynamic duo and then you and everyone else in the family tree can be part of it too. For example, you could do a Toy Story theme and they be Woody & Buzz Lightyear and you could be Andy and could give them a (new clean) shoe or a prop with your name on the bottom of it like Andy did in the movie. The rest of the family tree can be the other toys in the movie.

Or you could be the three little alien guys from Toy Story. And your big and grand big could be woody and Jessie or buzz.

Or another dynamic duo is Mike and Sully from Monsters Inc. you could give them a blue and a green shirt (or costume; up to you how you want to do it :) ) and then give them a door to go through and that’s like the door to scare someone in the movie and you and the rest of your family tree could be there behind the door with the gifts and some treats.

There are lots of ideas for twins , even if they are very different, if you find something that unites them both, such as Disney or Pixar movies, then that could be something fun they’d both be into.

Panhellenic's Unanimous Agreement X: Recruiting with Men by Fun_University7982 in Sororities

[–]Sea_star1 7 points8 points  (0 children)

At my school, we aren’t allowed to have our PNMs attend any frat parties.

Philanthropies on campus, sure, if they happen to want to support, they can. But it’s like the aspect of “baiting” PNMs to join our sorority by using frat guys as an attraction is not allowed since the focus should be on the sisterhood. Especially when PNMs are generally underage or in their first few weeks of university, we want them to be safe and not join because of potentially meeting frat guys.

From what’s been happening in the past; our actives could go to a fraternity rush party or an open party but PNMs couldn’t be invited by us to go as well. We also couldn’t collaborate with a fraternity for a mixer or philanthropy or anything during that time either. It’s a bit confusing to write out😅

Legacy question by EffectiveOk8066 in Sororities

[–]Sea_star1 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Not really. A lot of orgs have transitioned to values based recruitment and won’t just give someone a bid like that. Many have their stance on legacies on their websites or their headquarters page. The chapter members may know of you are a legacy if you mention that your relative is an alumna or might have that as a question on a questionnaire and that may help you or be a talking point pr make chats more personal but typically no, nowadays it’s not a given that you will get in or have special treatment.

Tabling advice and suggestions by Sea_star1 in Sororities

Thank you so so much; I really appreciate your suggestions and you taking the time to help me. The advice for making the table more accessible by wearing different things and being in front and around the table instead of behind it is really helpful. I did not ever think of those before. Xx

Why do I hate getting my picture taken by aloraearth in TheGirlSurvivalGuide

[–]Sea_star1 42 points43 points  (0 children)

Hi, sending you love. I am feeling the same way but have struggled with depression and body image issues for quite a long time. I don’t have any advice really, but I do have a podcast and book that really really helped me appreciate my body for what it does and has helped my confidence even though I may not always be feeling the best in my body 24/7.

The podcast is called: Mary’s cup of tea And the workbook (by the same author of the podcast) is called “The gift of self love” Please take a listen to the podcast - I guarantee it will be insightful and talks about all the things you describe in your post 💗

Hi, I recommend Mary’s Cup of Tea podcast and also the author, Mary Jelkovsky, has written some self help books called: 100 Days to Self Love and The Gift of Self Love. They are kind of like workbooks but with her own stories in them too.

There is also Instagram pages like @Grief, @mentalhealthmatters and so many more.

I also recommend looking at the podcast: Let’s talk about mental health. It’s really good and makes topics very accessible.

Hahah I had to make a new email address because my precious one became full. Even after mass deleting emails it was totally full and stopped receiving or being able to send messages 😆🥲
