Greeks Moving Forward: The Tri-Delta Song

This week, I'm coming to you as a senior sorority member here at LSU. As many of you have already heard, read and got frustrated with the Tri-Delta Song, I'm here to serve as a reminder.

So here are my thoughts on the matter: 

1. The song itself was despicable. We all know that sororities have their “songs,” but this one was written down and written recently. I think the biggest issue that our community has had with it stems from how personalized the song was towards specific sororities. I think had it not been so specific, so many parties would not have been as greatly offended.

2. The actions of those involved reflected girlish high school behavior, and I strongly believe the consequences will mirror this. That being said, this brings us to a much larger point. Women in general have a problem with gossip and slander against one another, but in our Greek community, our biggest enemy is ourselves. That my friends is truly disappointing.

Tri-Delta has already apologized for their actions and now as a Greek community, it's time for us to act like mature, responsible young women and forgive them. Forgive them and learn from our mistakes. These women that created the song were seniors, and I am damn sure they’re sorry for it. As they grow and move on from LSU, it is up to us to determine what their legacy will be. 

Every sorority has had a scandal, and I suggest we look at all of our chapters and consider how we can grow and improve cohesively as a community rather than saying it was just desserts for this one sorority. I'm sure many of you have good friends in Tri-Delta and it would be immature to let your loving and kind friends suffer because of a few bad apples. 

So what do we do now? As I previously said, we forgive. After we forgive, we grow. Grow so much to where we stop insinuating that ridiculous sorority stereotypes are true. Grow so much to where we actually do mean it when we say all chapters are great in their own way and everyone really does fit in best somewhere. Grow so much that we can actually look back on our conversations and be proud of what we discussed. Now, let’s come together and call it a day. We’re all Tigers, after all, and are all damn proud we don’t go to 'Bama.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
