An Open Letter To The Greek Community At Cyprus-Rhodes University

It’s time that we pay tribute to the show that made all of us want to join Greek life.

Growing up, we knew all about Cyprus-Rhodes University, the PR nightmare of Jen K’s article and the never-ending love triangle of Casey, Evan, and Cappie. We dreamt of living in the Zeta Beta Zeta house and attending the legendary Kappa Tau Mt. Vesuvius party. However, once we came to college, we realized that Greek life is nothing like "Greek," thank goodness.

To the Greek Community at Cyprus-Rhodes University,

Casey and Cappie, you two were my favorite, the modern day Romeo and Juliet. On one hand, you have Casey leading the army of cool, collected, and beautiful women. On the other, you have Cappie floating through college on a sea of beer and horrid pick-up lines. The two were a horrible freshman mistake, yet they taught us so much.

They taught us that sometimes things are better left in the past. Casey moved on from Cappie just like we should all move on from the past season top that we love so much.

Move on to what? What was that? Did I hear Evan Chambers? That’s right, you did. Evan and Cassie’s relationship taught us to shoot for the stars and that sometimes you’ll end up passed out on a couch with Frannie Morgan giving you a pep talk, but other times you find yourself in love with your best friend.

How could we forget Rusty and his sweet, naive soul? Rusty showed us the sensitive and understanding side of life. Rusty showed us that with a little love, geeky smiles, and engineering skills anything is possible--even almost convincing you parents that you joined a “service fraternity” and not a social fraternity.

We could also never forget Calvin. We never stopped wanting to be Calvin and Rusty’s best friends. They were the perfect pair, a modern day Serena and Blair. They were bonded souls from different houses, a Nicolas Sparks book in the works.

We never stopped hating Rebecca. She's the Senator's daughter? Could we get any more cliché? Rebecca was bad from the start and we all saw through her nice girl act. I mean, who makes someone move out of their own room? We could not be happier to see her get along with Casey in the end, but we did miss the witty banter between the two.

We certainly never stopped loving Dale.

Here's to the many hours that we spent imagining how things would be if we went to Cyprus-Rhodes University and to "Greek" for inspiring us to join our own home away from home. Although there are few similarities between their "Greek" and ours, I will always be forever grateful.

XO,

A true "Greek" Fan.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
