Delta Zeta's Participation in the ONU 2016 Homecoming Parade

About two weeks ago, Ohio Northern University (ONU) held its 2016 Homecoming celebrations here in Ada, Ohio. One of these events was the annual homecoming parade, where student organizations of all kinds proceeded down Main Street while waving and passing out candy to lucky parade watchers. Overall, the parade had a healthy number of people in attendance who all contributed to the celebrations. Many alumni and their families were in attendance, so it was wonderful to be able to show them that ONU's pride is stronger than ever.

I was fortunate enough to be able to participate in this parade as a member of Delta Zeta Sorority here at ONU. For a class project, I was required to "live-tweet" one of the homecoming events, so I figured that marching in the parade with my DZ sisters would be a great event to tweet about. My tweets begin with pre-parade setup and waiting time, during which our sisters had fun messing around and hanging out. The tweets then transition to focus on our procession down Main Street, including Delta Zetas cheering for our sorority in celebration and passing by a group of DZ alumnae who were thrilled to see us and cheered right along with the active sisters. Finally, I wrapped up the live tweet session with a special shout out to our float driver and a thank you to my followers and DZ sisters for participating.

Ohio Northern had a successful homecoming this year, and I am glad that Delta Zeta's participation in the parade was just as successful!

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.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. 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.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
