All those perks? Who would want that?

5 Reasons You Should NEVER Consider Joining A Sorority
Lindsay Ann Gill

As a second semester freshman, I have had the opportunity to do a multitude of things. College life offers so many opportunities to get involved. One of these opportunities is the many Greek Life organizations on most campuses. Unfortunately, all fraternities and sororities act exactly the way all movies and TV shows portray them.

Which is why you OBVIOUSLY shouldn't join one, right? If that doesn't just turn you off completely, here are a few more reasons to stick your nose up at the girls you're claiming stick their noses up at you.


1. You may actually find a talent you never knew you had.

I know, I know, you were the star of your elementary art class, but why would you ever want to actually have a hobby? Crafting takes time and effort, but I thought sorority girls didn't put time and effort into anything?


2. You'll learn how to be [too] goofy.

Sororities look so pristine in the light of recruitment, they must be stuck up. I bet they never have any fun making sure things always go right... Right?


3. Your big will mentor you too much.

"My big is so smart," "My little is so cute," "Our fam tree is the best," blah blah blah-- am I right? Big/Little pairs are so superficial and aren't based on personality, compatibility, etc. I read that online, so it must be true.


4. You'll spend too much time with your sisters.

Why would you want to spend all of your time with the people who care the most about you and want you to succeed? That seems silly to me; most people these days want to spend their time with toxic people who make time feel bad about themselves.

5. You'll find your home on campus, plus who wants to run on bid day?

Running home on bid day? Do sorority girls run, or would that make them sweat? Besides, who would want to go to the sorority house/suite/apartment all the time... don't people want to be alone without plans? Why would anyone want a second home, they already have one... seems selfish to me.

Honestly, if you could still consider being a part of Greek Life after this, you must really have a good head on your shoulders! #SpringRecruitment2018 #GoPinkandGreen #GreatWomenGoGreek

Taylor Swift's Eras Tour is What I Hope Heaven Feels Like

By: James McDonald

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
