Delta Zeta's Participation in the ONU 2016 Homecoming Parade

The sisters of Delta Zeta had a blast showing their ONU and DZ pride during the 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!

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
