Nyla Mathis remembers her heart fluttering, like a first crush.
She was a freshman back then, attending her first event sponsored by one of the historically Black sororities on the UWÂâMadison campus.
âI was a little nervous, because all of these women were so distinguished and so high-achieving,â says Mathis, now a senior. âBut they were also so down-to-earth and relatable. It immediately felt like home.â
