5 Reasons Why I Love My Sorority
Taryn Dunlavey

1. I have become more extroverted

I have always been a complete introvert, but going through the rush process pushed me out of my comfort zone and forced me to talk to so many people. This continued after I was in my sorority. We talk to so many people both in and out of campus, and it has allowed me to build up my social skills and calm my nerves about public speaking

2. I am more involved

My sorority is diverse in every way. Our women are involved in so many clubs and activities on campus, I am always learning something new from them. This has allowed me to explore many new opportunities that I would not have found on my own. I am also more involved within the Bethlehem community through our philanthropy and service events.

3. There's always someone to lean on

No matter what I am going through, I always have at least one sister I can go to that can comfort me. I never realized how much of a support system that a sorority could provide.

4. I'm always learning something new

Because my sisters are so diverse and involved, they are constantly teaching me things I never knew. I have sisters who have shown me basic coding skills, sisters who have taught me statistics (which I still stink at, but still), and sisters who have just taught me how to relax.

5. I've met amazing women and developed lifelong friendships

My big sister and I have already agreed to be each other's bridesmaids at our future weddings. Clearly, I've made connections that will last me a lifetime :)

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
