is a phrase often used about programs that were established in hopes of cultivating formidable members of society who followed the commonly accepted rules of etiquette. The principles of Cinderella International Scholarship Pageant are just as relevant today in our day-to-day lives, in our new digitally inspired world, as they were at our inception in 1976. As we maneuver through our family, social, community and spiritual choices and obligations, we are reminded that although this is not a conclusive list, it is full of good examples. The most important things to remember are to: Present a positive image. Always be truthful; you dont have to embellish your personality or what you write online to be appealing. When you are online, what you represent should be positive and honest in a responsible and respectful manner. Follow a personal grooming routine. What you wear speaks so loudly, I cannot hear a word that you are saying. In the first thirty seconds people make judgments about us on a subconscious level, based on what they see, hear and sense. From casual wear to the ultimate party dress, tailor your presentation for success to project Power, Confidence and Credibility! Never speak or act in anger. Period. Cultivate a pleasant voice when speaking with others. It goes without being said that we treat others as we wish to be treated. Be courteous and mindful when engaging with others. Approach everyone with a pleasant demeanor and try not to be inciting. If someone is being mean to you or someone dear to you, hopefully you can make it common practice to reply either sincerely and without malice, or not at all. Write thank-you notes. This will let your friends, family and sisters know that what they do is appreciated and may inspire them to do the same. This doesnt have to be in the conventional form of a handwritten letter but can be done by email, posting online and tagging your friends, mentioning them in posts or sharing a link they have posted and replying in a positive manner. At the end of the day, Chi Gamma Cinderella Girl Sorority is about having fun and being social with likeminded women and girls and building a sisterhood that will last throughout our lives!

( f ) Begin each morning with a cheerful hello and a kind word to the first person you meet and continue this practice throughout the day. The most contagious thing a person can have is a smile.

Sister, open your heart, fling your hopes high, and set your dreams aloft. I am here to hold your hand. ~ MAYA ANGELOU
*"Sisterhood is the essence of all the wisdom of the ages, distilled into a single word. You cannot see sisterhood, neither can you hear it nor taste it. But you can feel it a hundred times a day. It is a pat on the back, a smile of encouragement. It's someone to share with, to celebrate your achievements." ~ Anonymous *"To have a loving relationship with a sister is not simply to have a buddy or a confidante -- it is to have a soul mate for life." ~ Victoria Secunda *"What's the good of news if you haven't a sister to share it?" ~ Jenny DeVries *"When sisters stand shoulder to shoulder, who stands a chance against us?" ~ Pam Brown * A sister is a gift to the heart, a friend to the spirit, a golden thread to the meaning of life. ~Isadora James * A big sister is a friend and defender - a listener, conspirator, a counselor and a sharer of delights. And sorrows too. ~Pam Brown * Sisterhood is powerful. ~Robin Morgan * My sisters have taught me how to live. George Wasserstein * Sisters are for sharing laughter and wiping tears. Author Unknown * Chance made us Sisters, hearts made us friends. Unknown * Sisters touch your heart in ways no other could. Sisters share their hopes, their fears, their love, everything they have. Real friendship springs from their special bonds. Carrie Bagwell
