Why Do You Love Being a Mawrter?

When alumnae/i are asked to brag about ÀÏÍõÂÛ̳, turns out they find a lot to crow about.

In Crowd Source, the Bulletin asks readers to answer a question related to their ÀÏÍõÂÛ̳ experience. Here were the responses via social media.

One of the things I love is that when you meet a new Mawrter, you have an instant connection and can talk about a wide variety of topics just because you both went to ÀÏÍõÂÛ̳—from random conversations in Crate & Barrel, meeting an alum at a roller derby match, or randomly on an airplane—these moments remind me how connected we all are and how supportive our community is.

It is synonymous with being a smart, strong, independent, compassionate, passionate, forward-thinking individual. â€¦ And it makes you feel like you really are part of something and have a home wherever you go.

Audrey Ettinger ’92

My classmates! (And all the other fabulous students and alumnae that I know!)

Sue Speers ’51

Years ago, I occasionally hosted meetings for the ÀÏÍõÂÛ̳ Club of Fairfield County, Connecticut. The conversation was always so interesting that even my children would stay close by to overhear. That made me proud of both them and my ÀÏÍõÂÛ̳ friends.

Jennifer Grackin Steinberg ’02

For me, it’s all about the cred and swagger. When I tell someone I came to Pennsylvania to go to ÀÏÍõÂÛ̳, I usually don’t have to say anything else. And ÀÏÍõÂÛ̳ gave me the confidence and swagger to walk into a space and be myself.
