Since then, Sister Cindy has continued to grow her platform with her divisive, outlandish statements reprimanding college-aged girls for promiscuity out of wedlock.

“I came to MSU’s campus because of all the hoes,” Sister Cindy said. “They wanted some good old fashioned slut-shaming, so I came and gave them the slut-shaming and the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ.”

Tom Giarin, a preacher within Sister Cindy’s circle of friends, said an important part of their work is balancing "the gospel" and love. 

“I’m worried that other preachers or protestors are twisting the Bible in a way that feeds into their agenda,” Giarin said. “Of course, I don’t actually know their motives, but with Sister Cindy, you can feel her love for the students."

Giarin said instead of retiring in Florida and worshiping the Lord on some beach, she spends her weekdays traveling from campus to campus spreading the gospel and praying for students.

Chemical engineering freshman Lauren Ihm spent her Wednesday afternoon getting baptized by Sister Cindy.

“It felt unreal,” Ihm said through laughter. “I feel revived. Sister Cindy teaches love, and I love to see that.”

Going into the event, Ihm had no expectations of getting baptized or even meeting Sister Cindy. After waiting in line and connecting with Sister Cindy, she found it entertaining to get baptized.

Some students, such as public relations senior Zoe Schantz, believe Sister Cindy is widely popular amongst Gen Z for the entertainment aspect. 

Most students don’t come to watch her because they believe or align with what she’s saying, but instead they come to see her eccentric TikTok personality in-person, Schantz said. Despite this, Sister Cindy said she was not deterred by students who come for that reason. Instead, she said she enjoys the publicity she gains from her social media platforms.

Throughout her preaching, Sister Cindy aimed to include the audience by asking questions and rewarding those who got questions right with pins reading "Ho No Mo."

For audience members who acted out, Sister Cindy provided repercussions, as was the case for sociology freshman Alan Pachla who sat in time-out for five minutes after speaking out of turn.

“Ultimately, she’s not directly harmful,” Pachla said. “However, I can see a lot of harmful people gathering around her and using her as a tool for hate.”

Sister Cindy’s performance on campus continues to raise the question on where MSU draws the line for public demonstrations.

Pachla believes demonstrators should not be shut down simply for words. However, he also believes if their speech advocates for the infringement of one’s rights, the university should have regulations or restrictions in place against such behavior.

Sister Cindy disagrees.

“I read the free speech policy for the campus, and it’s not really free speech if we have to approve what the people say,” Sister Cindy said. “We should be allowed to say whatever we want, even if it’s not what the people want to hear.”

For better or worse, Sister Cindy continues to make an impact on students across the nation, Schantz said. While many don’t agree with Sister Cindy’s self-proclaimed slut-shaming, they find her reverence and theatrics entertaining.

With the warm weather comes the continuing tide of public demonstrations which continues to raise concerns about student safety, wellbeing and MSU’s title as a safe space for all.

“I think as long as they’re peaceful, they should be allowed to do what they want,” Schantz said. “With that said, I don’t really want to come onto campus and listen to people preach about how I’m doomed to Hell.”
