10 Reasons Why I Love Rush Week
Total Frat Move Sthrower91889

Fraternity men, whatever you think of them, are everywhere and they keep coming out of nowhere. Welcome to Interfraternity Council Rush Week at Temple. This can be one of the worst weeks of your life, whether you hate or love these boys, or the best week of your life, if you're a potential pledge still getting treated like gold.

Since I'm a girl, you're probably wondering why I care about fraternity rush week. Well, as a sorority woman I am barred from showing bias during rush week, although anyone who knows me personally knows which frat I ride the hardest for, and ladies in general are not allowed near rush events. Rush week is for the boys. While this may be a good thing to some sorority women and a bad thing to others, I think rush week is one of the best weeks. This is why.

1. Boys and girls have a week off from each other.


2. That means less boys at the bar during GNO.

Less drama, am I right ladies?

3. Nights with other fun groups on campus/friends.

ROTC knows how to have a good time, or so I've heard. Same with the club sports teams. Leave your frat basement/Draught Horse comfort zone.

4. Rush week t-shirts.

I don't know how they do it, but they make some of the best pocket t-shirts. Also, how can they get away with making everything alcohol related? A question for the ages.

5. Boys finally caring about Instagram likes and retweets.

6. Fraternity recruitment videos.

7. Finally knowing who is, or isn't, in a frat.

And which one they're in.

8. Seeing these frat boys care about something other than themselves.

It is just finding more guys like them, but still it's the big picture here!

9. Knowing your favorite frat will have new friends for you to add to your circle.


Every pledge is nice to everyone the brothers know.

10. Finally being able to dance in their disgusting basements after rush week is over.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
