The Secret Sisterhood is Still Strong

Resident assistant Catherine McCoy became concerned when she noticed the residence on her floor becoming inclusive with their certain group of friends. McCoy wanted to invent a way where everyone body on her floor knew everyone. McCoy came up with a program called going grey.

Going grey is a program where everyone on the floor will be given a secret sister. The objective is for the residence to get to know their secret sister, without giving themselves away. Each residence will have to give an encouraging note,clues to who you are, and a gift no more than fifteen dollars.

Going grey is the resulting color is a mix of all the racial colors. McCoy has noticed that the residence certain group of friends were all the same race, but some residence would talk to a different race. McCoy combined all the races into one to make one program for everybody. Red is native american and hispanics,white is caucasian, black is african american,brown is Indian from the asian-indian subcontinent and,yellow is asian, mixed together is grey.

“Even after ten weeks residents are still meeting new resident’s on the floor,” McCoy said. The program seems to be working. Only, it seems to be taking more time than McCoy wanted it too. Some residence are opposed to the secret sisterhood.

“It seemed like fun, but it just got boring since my secret sister has not done anything for me,” freshmen Laiken Russel said. On the third floor it seems that most residence are involved in the program, though some are not. According to Russell most people are giving up on the idea. Why should they have to buy a gift, leave a note, and give clues when their secret sister has not done anything for them.

“I do not see the point in this program, I can make new friends on my own if I want to, ” freshmen Renee Wiegand said. Most residence are just playing the game fairly. If they have not received anything then why should they go out of their way to give something. The wait is still on as the end of the semester approaches for the residence of Hefley Hall, hopefully things will improve.
