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!

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Take the time to thank that one friend in your life you will never let go of.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
