It's that time of year again: Greek Week. It's the time when fraternities and sororities will band together or be pulled apart to claim the title of the best team in the Greek system and bragging rights for the rest of the year. This year, the theme is "Out of this World."

MONDAY MAY 2nd

Starting on May 2d, the competition will definitely be out of this world with events like a featured inspirational speaker Jeremy Poincenot, who lost his sight at age 19 and become the blind golf champion at age 20. He has shared his story on 20/20, Golf World, and MTV and will be at Cal Poly to "give the audience a new perspective" on May 2nd, from 6 P.M. to 7 P.M.

TUESDAY MAY 3d

From 10 A.M. to 5 P.M. there will be a blood drive (with a maximum amount of 75 people per team per day), and flag football will be from 5 P.M. to 8 P.M.

WEDNESDAY MAY 4th

The blood drive will continue and attendance will count for points at the 5 P.M. to 7 P.M. men's basketball game, as well as the 7 P.M. to 9 P.M. women's basketball game.

THURSDAY MAY 5th

From 4:30 P.M. to 7 P.M. there will be dodgeball and from 5 P.M to 8 p.m. there will be men's and women's soccer. You can also register to run the Mustang Mile to earn points for your team, and registration and payments for this event are due today.

FRIDAY MAY 6

1 P.M. to 4 P.M. is the lip synch rehearsal for the annual Greek Week lip synch competition which will take place on Monday the 9th...

SATURDAY MAY 7th

Beach day! From 11 A.M. to 3 P.M. will the the Sandcastle competition, from 11 A.M. will be the hamster ball races, from 11 A.M. to 4 P.M. will be the volleyball competition, and from 12 P.M. to 2 P.M. will be the tug of war. Also, don't miss limbo from 1 P.M. to 2 P.M!

SUNDAY MAY 8th

Service day! Organizations and teams will participate in a service day to participate contributing toward a good cause (event to be announced, still).

MONDAY MAY 9th

From 6 P.M. to 9 P.M. is the lip synch competition! You do not want to miss this event.

Throughout the week there will also be opportunities to earn points by eating at local restaurants who will donate the proceedings. Earn points and eat out with friends and be sure to write your team on the receipt to earn credit for your team!

Have a great Greek Week, everyone! Support your organization through participation in events and by cheering on team members. This week brings the whole Greek community together and allows us to meet new people and make new friends while getting to enjoy Cal Poly and each other's talents for one special week a year, while making bonds that will last for a long time.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

Power of Love Letters

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
