15 Signs You're From Iowa
Jason Mrachina

Besides being “Iowa nice,” witnessing some of the best sunsets over corn fields in the middle of July, watching the Hawks in Kinnick Stadium on a Saturday, or spending many summer days on the river or lake; here’s a couple more signs that you might be from Iowa.

1. You’ve probably met more presidential candidates than you can count on two hands.

2. You’ve probably also seen the United States President and/or Vice President a couple of times.

3. Snow Days are an urban legend unless there is a foot of snow on the ground.

4. Puppy Chow is not just a dog food, it’s one of the greatest snacks around.

5. “Pop” isn’t a noise, it’s a carbonated beverage aka Coca-Cola, Pepsi, etc.

6. You’ve experienced all four seasons, two tornadoes, a blizzard, and an ice storm all in 24 hours.

7. Forty degrees in February calls for shorts and a light jacket.

8. Culver’s is the best fast food chain around.

9. You’ve seen at least one country artist perform at a fair.

10. You’ve had a pork chop on a stick.

11. Few things rival a tenderloin sandwich.

12. Not remembering a night in Iowa City is checked off your bucket list. And probably a tailgate too.

13. Hawkeyes, Cyclones or Panthers.

14. You’ve said “No we aren’t the state with the potatoes. That’s Idaho.”

15. You’ve seen the world famous butter cow at least once.

10 Truths About Being In A Sorority

(For Girls Who Are Interested In Greek Life)

Sorority
Rebekah Lee

I remember my freshman year oh so well. I remember feeling terrified the night before orientation. The one thing that I dreaded the most was not the new people, the new environment, or even the academic pressure. I was dreading having to talk to sorority girls about Recruitment. I remember cutting off and avoiding any Rho Gamma/Panhellenic Officer that came my way during First Week. I looked at them like they had asked me to cut my arm off whenever they asked me if I wanted to rush. To be honest, I did not even know what rush was, but I knew that I did NOT want to be a part of it. To me, it was dumb. It was a waste of money. It was a waste of my time.

And guess what? I did not rush my freshman year. I spent the first half of my freshman year isolating myself from everyone on campus. I spent all of my time in the library, and then (since I was a commuter) went back home once my work was finished.

She definitley would not take any 8:00 am classes because she would be up late baking and cleaning up the communal kitchen that are available in every dorm.
