Why Rushing Pi Kappa Alpha Was One Of The Best Decisions I Had Made
Pi Kappa Alpha

1. You always have someone to hang out with.

No matter what is happening on campus, I have always been able to call up one of my brothers to hang out or get some food. At any point of the day, I could find someone to relax with, and that is not something everyone just has.

2. There is always an event happening of some sort.

Pi Kappa Alpha members at Methodist have their hands in many many pies. I can just meander around the campus and see anything from a group of guys hanging out by the cars, to a pie eating contest impromptu being held on Sink Field. Regardless of where on campus one goes, you are bound to see a Pike doing something worthwhile and doing something fun. Join in if you want, the more the merrier.

3. Pike puts a good foot forward on campus

Pikes don't just know how to have fun, but we also know how to help our community. We engage in amazing involvements, Cycle For Life being one of them, as well as Habitat for Humanity and many other community service projects. Pike men believe in bettering themselves through their community. We do that by any means we can, whether it involves heavy lifting or simple fundraising.

4. Pikes hold each other to a higher standard

Members of Pi Kappa Alpha live in the effort to become better Scholars, better Leaders, better Athletes, and better Gentlemen. This means we have told not only push ourselves in our studies and personal lives, but we also must push each other to be better. Without the support, I'm sure I wouldn't have succeeded as much as I did in my freshman year.

5. Amazing opportunities beyond university

When I'm wearing letters, people recognize me as a member of a greater organization. They don't just see Greek symbols, but they see something bigger, a group that has spent many years attempting to better the world around it and creating individuals of the finest caliber. It reminds me that I don't just have brothers while I am at school, but that I will be a part of this for the rest of my life, and that is something that I can truly take pride in.

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

College is an endless cycle of crappy, sleepless nights, tedious, boring lectures, and hours of never-ending piles of homework.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
