Summary

Boston College’s all-women step team, F.I.S.T.S. (Females Incorporating Sisterhood Through Step), turns movement into mentorship. In this episode George Kaparis ’27 sits down with F.I.S.T.S. president Mandy Correia ’26 to unpack how stepping builds a tight-knit sisterhood, fuels community service, and shapes student leaders. Hear about traditions like Fistmas, the team’s service missions, and an upcoming Hair Show that highlights culture and community — plus practical ways to get involved. This episode is a portrait of how performance and purpose come together on the Heights.
