The Sisterhood Dinner

The Sisterhood Dinner commemorates the contributions and accomplishments of NC State women. It was originally called the Susan B. Anthony Dinner but was changed in 1999 to the Sisterhood Dinner to encompass all aspects of the achievements of women.

Theme: The Ripple Effect

Just as a smooth stone cascades across the water, creating ripples in a pond, so too do small acts of change. At first seemingly isolated and inconsequential, these small actions build momentum and magnitude to carry inspiration and good works further. This year’s Sisterhood Dinner theme — The Ripple Effect — celebrates the many small acts we all can make to create a ripple effect for gender equity that lasts for generations to come.

Call for Community Vignettes

In honor of this year’s theme, we would like to uplift multiple voices in the NC State community in lieu of a single keynote speaker. As such, we are launching a call for community vignettes from students, staff, faculty, and alumni to share their experiences of the people who have created a ripple effect in their lives, leading to their own successes, inspirations, and key moments and milestones related to gender equity. Vignettes can be delivered in the form of monologue, spoken word, poetry, song, presentation, TED talk, or other creative idea. 

Submission Criteria
  • Those who submit must identify as a student, faculty, staff, or alum of NC State. Anyone of any gender identity is free to submit.
  • Submissions must include a short written overview of the proposed vignette, tying one’s story/experience to the theme of the dinner. 
  • If your submission is selected, your final vignette should be no more than 5 minutes in length.  
  • Individuals whose vignettes are selected, agree to: 1) join a rehearsal in early to mid February with other selected storytellers, and 2) attend the Sisterhood Dinner on Monday February 24, 2025 as a guest of the Council.

Deadline for Submission

  • Priority submissions close on November 22, 2024. Submit your story today!
  • Selected individuals will be notified by January 6th and asked to submit a final written piece by January 24, 2025.
