“Ask any woman – there’s something special about her friendships with other women. Our female friends know us better than anyone else. They are there to listen, to console, and to encourage. They are our loudest cheerleaders and our most compassionate confidantes.”
Kappa Delta / Confidence Coalition

Happy International Women’s Friendship Month!

We’re celebrating our Girlfriends in September – with women all over the world! September is International Women’s Friendship Month as designated by Kappa Delta sorority.

Thanks Kappa Delta for these ideas on how to celebrate female friendship:

• Send a card or short note to your best friend telling her how much she means to you.
• Celebrate your relationship over high tea or coffee.
• Remember a special friend with a book of poetry or fiction.
• Send a card, and perhaps a photo, to a faraway friend.
• Plan a girls’ night out. Go see a movie. Make reservations for dinner.
• Visit a spa together. Make appointments for manicures. Get make-overs.
• Reconnect with a childhood friend with whom you’ve lost contact.
• Sign up for a cooking or gardening class.
• Plan an adventure. Go hiking, hot-air ballooning, white water rafting, etc.
• Start up a book club with close friends.
• Send flowers to your mother, sister or other relative who has also been a good friend to you.
• Hand out goodie bags to your female coworkers. Include a note about International Women’s Friendship Month.
