A good
old-fashioned slumber party! A rite of passage for any girl, with most females
being to more than a few by the time they reach their college years. Everyone
needs a night spent hanging out with just the girls every once in a while.
Doing each other’s nails, eating junk food, and dancing to popular music are
all ingredients needed in having a night to remember, but what is required for
a slumber party 2.0?

Benson answered this question when throwing the first ever Little Sister, Big
Sister Slumber Party as a fundraiser for her upcoming participation in the
Blackburn Spencer Pageant. Taking place at the Alpha Phi Alpha Inc. fraternity
house this past Saturday, October 5th, a mixture of excited black
female underclassmen and upperclassmen met at the house for a truly memorable
night. With festivities beginning around 9pm, the ladies were able to mingle
with one another and make new friendships while also discussing important topics
impacting the lives of modern day female African American Ohio University
students.

Kelle Perez and Tata Artino headed a panel of upperclassmen that gave helpful
advice to eager freshman ears. The topics ranged from playful to serious,
including everything from guy advice to helpful study habits to encountering
racism on campus.
This
sleepover was beneficial in a variety of ways. Knowing only a few people there
when I arrived, I left with many more numbers in my cellphone and friendships
in my heart. It was truly refreshing to hear such valuable advice from
upperclassmen that you knew were keeping it completely real with you. By the
end of the night many of the upperclassmen exclaimed that they wished something
like this had been thrown their freshman year and I can definitely understand
why.
